Britannia appoints Amit Doshi as chief marketing officer
Mumbai: Bakery foods company Britannia Industries Ltd (BIL) on Friday announced the appointment of Amit Doshi as chief marketing officer, effective from 17 January.
‘’I am happy to welcome Amit back to the Britannia family. Amit’s cross-sectoral marketing experience will be valuable in taking our innovation mindset to the next level and building consumer delight,” said BIL managing director Varun Berry.
Doshi takes over from Vinay Subramanyam who left the company in December 2021. “I thank Vinay for his invaluable contribution in building purposive brands especially during the difficult times of the last two years, and wish him the very best in his endeavors,’’ Berry further said.
With over 17 years of experience, Doshi has expertise in brand marketing, sales, and customer development. In his previous assignment, he was with Lenovo as director of marketing (India and South Asia). He has gained experience in consumer (B2C), enterprise, small and medium business (SMB), and tablet business units at Lenovo and brings a valuable understanding of consumers and markets across product categories.
MUMBAI: In India’s fast-moving payments race, Visa has just swiped in a new leader. The company has named Suresh Sethi as its India country head, marking a key leadership shift as it sharpens its focus on digital payments growth in the market. Sethi steps into the role following his recent exit from Protean eGov Technologies, where he served as chief executive officer. He succeeds Sandeep Ghosh, who has moved on after more than four years at Visa to pursue an external opportunity.
The appointment comes at a time when Visa is doubling down on its expansion strategy across India and the wider region, deepening partnerships and accelerating adoption in an increasingly competitive digital payments ecosystem.
Sethi brings with him a broad, cross-market perspective shaped by decades of experience across corporate banking, retail financial services, mobile money and large-scale government technology initiatives. He began his career at Citigroup, where he spent 14 years working across India, Africa, South America and the United States, focusing on transaction banking services within the corporate bank.
His appointment signals a blend of institutional experience and market familiarity qualities that could prove critical as Visa navigates a landscape where fintech innovation, regulatory evolution and consumer adoption are all accelerating at once.
As digital payments in India continue to scale rapidly, the leadership change underscores a simple reality, in a market where every tap, scan and swipe counts, who leads the charge can matter just as much as the technology itself.
