Cremica Golden Bytes launches first campaign in India
MUMBAI: Cremica, a cookie brand from Mrs Bectors Foods Specialities Limited, recently launched Cremica Golden Bytes. Golden Bytes offers a combination of crunch and butter softness. Cremica has rolled out a brand film that portrays the brand as an innovative offering compared to other brands in the category.
The TVC will be aired across regional channels especially in North India while the print and outdoor plan will also be focused primarily towards the markets of Punjab, Haryana, HP-JK, and Delhi.
Conceptualised and executed by Publicis India, the film is an intelligent take that questions the consumer’s judgement abilities based on what they see. This is especially true for the premium cookie category, where brands talk about being a class apart but do not have anything new to offer. This leads consumers to believe that despite brands making tall claims to offer something unique, do they really end up doing that? Cremica Golden Bytes questions this intent in an interesting manner through the latest brand film.
Mrs Bectors Foods Specialities MD Anoop Bector says , “In our communication we have kept the focus on the core of biscuit – a perfect combination of crunch and butter softness making it “Jitna buttery utna crunchy’. With its brilliant taste, creative packaging and competitive pricing; Golden Bytes will surely entice your senses.”
Publicis India head of creative Nitin Pradhan says, “For a new biscuit brand where product differentiation is only incremental, the communication becomes that much more critical. We found merit in keeping the focus of the story on the biscuit and bumped on the talking biscuit device. A couple coming across a ‘touchy’ biscuit that snaps at them in an otherwise regular afternoon was something that we all felt excited about. The casual banter capturing the core feature (Jitna buttery, utna crunchy) seemed quite cheeky, yet simple and focused.”

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
