Cinépolis partners with Amazon Pay for faster, smoother ticket booking
MUMBAI: Popcorn? Check. Tickets? Check. Now with Cinépolis and Amazon Pay teaming up, your movie night just got a blockbuster upgrade. In a strategic move to amp up the convenience for cinema-goers, Cinépolis India, the country’s first international multiplex chain has partnered with Amazon Pay to roll out seamless, secure, and rewarding digital payments across all its theatres and platforms.
From quick one-click checkouts to exclusive launch offers and reward points, the alliance aims to transform every step of the movie journey, right from booking to binging on buttery popcorn.
“As a customer-first brand, we’re always looking to elevate the experience beyond just the big screen,” said Cinépolis India managing director Devang Sampat. “By integrating Amazon Pay, we’re offering patrons ease, trust, and extra value with every ticket or tub of caramel corn.”
Beginning with exclusive offers, the rollout is being activated across all Cinépolis locations covering its 449 screens under Cinépolis, Cinépolis VIP, and Fun Cinemas brands.
Amazon Pay India’s CEO Vikas Bansal added, “This collaboration is about combining secure, speedy transactions with entertainment. It’s one more step in making everyday spends including your next blockbuster binge more rewarding.”
This isn’t Cinépolis’ first brush with innovation. From kid-friendly ‘Cinépolis Junior’ auditoriums with bean bags and loungers to its Club Cinépolis loyalty programme offering star-studded perks and pre-screening invites, the chain has built its name on tech-savvy hospitality.
The partnership continues Cinépolis’ award-winning run having bagged the ‘Retailer of the Year – Leisure and Entertainment’ title at MAPIC 2024 and a string of other honours across 2023.
And now, with the tap of a button, you can grab your seat, skip the queues, and get rewarded for every rom-com, thriller, or superhero saga you devour.
In other words, paying for your film fix just got its own plot twist.

BSE revamps website with real-time data, mobile-first design, smart search
New platform brings cleaner layout, live market trackers and easier navigation
MUMBAI: BSE has rolled out a major redesign of its official website, aiming to make market data faster to access and easier to navigate for both seasoned traders and new-age retail investors.
The updated platform introduces a cleaner, more modern interface, replacing the earlier dense and text-heavy layout with a streamlined design. Navigation has been simplified with clearly segmented menus across markets, corporates, public issues, members, investment advisers and research analysts, helping users find information without the usual maze of links.
At the top, a refreshed header now offers quick access to notices, media releases, trading holidays and career updates. A centralised search bar allows users to instantly locate securities using names, codes, IDs or ISINs, cutting down the time spent digging through pages. For those still attached to the old layout, a dedicated toggle lets users switch back during the transition period.
A key highlight of the revamp is the sharper focus on real-time market data. A live ticker band now runs across the site, offering updates on indices including the SENSEX and BANKEX, alongside pre-open market signals. The homepage also features interactive charts, giving users a quick visual read of market trends without needing to navigate deeper.
Market activity sections such as top gainers, losers, turnover stocks and block deals have been reorganised into tabbed formats, making them more intuitive and easier to scan. Meanwhile, specialised areas like index derivatives and corporate data have been upgraded with better visualisation tools, offering clearer insights into contracts, turnover, open interest and company fundamentals.
The overhaul also reflects a strong mobile-first approach. With a growing number of investors tracking markets on their phones, the new site is fully responsive, ensuring charts and data tables remain readable and interactive across devices.
With this redesign, BSE appears to be aligning its digital presence with the needs of a more tech-savvy investor base, where speed, clarity and usability are just as critical as the data itself.
