eBay India rolls out festival marketing campaign
Mumbai: eBay, an eCommerce marketplace, has unveiled its festive marketing campaign.
Targeted to 18 – 40 years “value-seeking” shoppers, the campaign is designed to encourage consumers to use eBay India for the variety of great deals available on product categories
Developed by Law & Kenneth, the campaign is a combination of TV, digital and social mediums to drive awareness and encourage Indians to shop their heart out this festive season to get the best deals online.
The campaign portrays savvy consumers in real life situations realising they no longer need to shop the old fashioned way and can shop smartly for great deals on eBay India with an assurance of eBay guarantee of 100 per cent satisfaction, else a refund or a replacement. The tag line, “Want it, Get It” continues.
eBay India CMO Kashyap Vadapalli said, “Our new marketing campaign brings alive the fact that eBay India is the leading shopping destination for savvy online shoppers looking for great deals, offering an unmatched variety of products across categories. We foresee online shopping growing rapidly in India and as pioneers of eCommerce, our campaign aims at instilling consumer confidence, promising the consumer a completely secure & satisfaction-guaranteed experience of getting the product they selected and paid for”.
The campaign is a series of four TVCs of real life situations. In one ad, a young couple is in a discussion where the husband has his eye on a new DSLR camera and is keen for his wife‘s ‘US Chacha‘ to visit so he gets his hand on the latest model. His savvy wife turns around and challenges him with haven‘t you heard of eBay, you don‘t need to wait for a ‘US Chacha‘ for deals on the latest cameras.
In another ad, two friends are at a party and one of them envies the other‘s new phone & says he plans to wait for the next edition to launch, so he can get the old model at a great price. His friend again challenges him & says haven‘t you heard of eBay, you will get the best deals on latest phones throughout the year.
The ads end with Get Deals on eBay India that you can‘t get anywhere else. This is followed by eBay Guarantee and ‘Want it. Get it‘.

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
