Mumbai: Dukaan, a SaaS platform that helps local entrepreneurs to open a digital storefront, announced that Sandeep Mina has joined the company as the chief operating officer with effect from 1 July. Previously Mina was the VP of monetisation at food delivery platform Swiggy.
At Dukaan, Mina will lead strategy and operations for optimising the adoption of the platform, building a strong revenue path, and elevating the growth of the organisation, it said in a statement.
Mina comes with vast experience having worked for almost two decades across supply, operations, sales, and product & revenue strategy with reputed brands like Swiggy, Coca Cola, LG, Star TV, Marico, and others.

We are pleased to have him on board and look forward to working with him.”
“Retail and e-commerce are evolving markets and have the potential to grow exponentially in the next few years,” Mina said. “This is the right time to be a part of this industry and contribute to building the direction of this growth. I am happy to be a part of Dukaan, and join the team in building the future of retail.”
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.
