BSkyB suspends Facebook ads over offensive content
MUMBAI: British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSY), the UK‘s largest pay-TV broadcaster, has cancelled its advertising on the social networking site – Facebook, after one of its ads was displayed adjacent to offensive material.
The suspension comes after Nissan Motor‘s UK division and lender Nationwide Building Society last month halted some Facebook ads that could have appeared next to offensive content.
In a blog post last month, Menlo Park, California-based Facebook said it would increase the accountability of the creators of content, and it would work with legal experts, to ensure its employees are adequately trained to evaluate hateful or harmful content. Facebook (FB) had $1.25 billion in advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2013, about 85 per cent of its total sales.

Emami names Dhruv Aggarwal as chief growth officer
Former Bain partner steps in as FMCG firm sharpens growth playbook
MUMBAI: Emami Limited has appointed Dhruv Aggarwal as its chief growth officer, effective 25 March 2026, following the resignation of Giriraj Bagri.
Aggarwal joins the FMCG major from Bain & Company, where he most recently served as partner. With over two decades of experience across consulting and strategy, he brings a global perspective shaped by work across India, the US, the UK and Germany.
During his tenure at Bain, Aggarwal advised consumer, retail and media companies on large-scale transformations, business turnarounds and growth strategies. He was also closely involved with India’s startup ecosystem, guiding early-stage ventures on scaling and digital expansion, while supporting private equity and venture capital firms on investment decisions.
His earlier stints include a brief role at Barclays Capital and operational experience at Jindal Power, giving him a mix of financial and industry exposure.
Academically, Aggarwal holds an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and has also been associated with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a PhD candidate and teaching assistant.
The appointment comes at a time when Emami Limited is looking to sharpen its growth strategy in a competitive consumer market. With a seasoned strategist now at the helm of growth, the company appears set to double down on transformation and expansion in the months ahead.
