NEW DELHI: Budweiser 0.0, an official partner of the Premier League, celebrated the historic victory of Liverpool FC, as they were crowned the 2020 champions, after 30 years. While the pandemic-induced challenges restricted fans from toasting the iconic win with the usual grandeur and silenced the otherwise roaring stadiums, Budweiser 0.0 stepped in to ensure fans across the country are presented with the opportunity to honour the much-awaited title in all its glory.
To facilitate this, 12 lucky winners, selected by Liverpool Fan Clubs across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, were granted exclusive Budweiser merchandise, and a chance to get their hands on a replica of the Premier League trophy, IRL. What’s more, supporters from across India also received special access, to commemorate the triumph in true Budweiser style, through a watch party in association with ace comedians and fans of the Reds: Anirban Das Gupta, Kumar Varun, and Rahul Subramanian.
The activation is rooted in Budweiser 0.0’s effort to ensure football enthusiasts in India experience the sport at its full potential – through avenues capture the imagination of fans and celebrate the passion for the beautiful game, surpassing boundaries and even physical distances. The virtual gathering made way for the fans of the game to cheer for the new Kings of England.

Gurpreet Singh named President of DishTV Alumni Network
Former Dish TV executive to lead community building and collaboration.
MUMBAI: Back to the dish, but this time it’s about connections, not channels Gurpreet Singh is returning to familiar territory with a new mandate that swaps subscribers for relationships. Singh has been appointed President of the DishTV Alumni Network, a move aimed at strengthening ties among former employees and building a more engaged professional community around the Dish TV ecosystem. The initiative reflects a growing trend among large organisations to formalise alumni networks as platforms for collaboration, mentorship and business opportunities.
The appointment draws on Singh’s deep-rooted history with Dish TV, where he held multiple leadership roles over nearly a decade. As National Business Head between June 2019 and September 2020, he oversaw profit and loss as well as operations, managing revenues of Rs 6,000 crore and leading a team of around 1,250 employees across the country. His tenure included working alongside two regional business heads and 16 circle heads, underscoring the scale of operations he handled.
Prior to that, Singh served as Executive Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue from 2016 to 2019, and earlier as Senior Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue. He also briefly led international operations as Country Head for Sri Lanka, further expanding his exposure across markets.
His broader career spans leadership roles across telecom and consumer businesses, including a stint as Chief Operating Officer at Bharti Airtel’s Malawi operations, senior leadership roles at Reliance Communications, and earlier positions at Hindustan Sanitaryware and Kodak India, where he spent over a decade.
In his new role, Singh is expected to focus on reconnecting former employees, fostering collaboration, and building a structured alumni ecosystem that leverages shared experience and industry networks. As companies increasingly recognise the long-term value of their extended workforce, the DishTV Alumni Network appears set to turn nostalgia into a strategic asset, one connection at a time.
