Doosra wins creative duties of Siyaram’s Mistair
Mumbai: Aegies Media‘s Doosra Brand Communications has won the creative business of Mistair, the premium fabric brand from the Siyaram Group.
Under this mandate Doosra will give the creative edge to the communication for Mistair, pan India.
Doosra MD Zahir Mirza said “I am happy to add Mistair to our roster of brands. We look forward to creating a distinct and unique identity for the brand in the crowded fabrics marketplace, through unconventional thinking and non-traditional methods that are Doosra‘s specialty.”
Doosra came into existence with the purpose of doing non-traditional advertising work. Named after the off-spinner‘s delivery in cricket that turns the other way from the batsman‘s expectations, Doosra‘s approach to work is similar, the agency said.
Mistair business head Vikas Malhotra added “We are pleased to have Doosra on board with us for one of our brands Mistair. The agency was able to come up with the right creative strategy which clearly defined our business objectives and goals. Mistair would focus on fabrics for the young and sees a lot of action in the coming years through its strategic partnership with Doosra.”
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.
