Ex-CMO Devarshy Ganguly takes a bold leap with GLX Eminence launch
MUMBAI: From stirring up campaigns at Diageo to building Magicbricks into an award-winning portal, Devarshy R. Ganguly has worn many marketing hats. Now, the veteran brand-builder is donning the entrepreneurial cap with the launch of his consulting venture, GLX Eminence, a platform designed to engineer clarity, growth and lasting impact.
Armed with over two decades of experience across Dr. Oetker, Mars Wrigley, Del Monte, Beam Suntory and Diageo (UB Group), Ganguly has carved out a reputation for driving breakthrough innovations. Along the way, he’s been named among India’s Top 50 CMOs by The Financial Express, featured in Nielsen’s Top Launches, and earned accolades from DMA Asia and AdLift for his contributions to MarTech. His last corporate innings at Magicbricks saw him expand the platform into a full-stack real estate marketplace, supercharge content via MBTV on YouTube, monetise proprietary research, and roll out campaigns that culminated in CNBC’s Best Real Estate Portal of the Year (2024).
GLX Eminence is built on four pillars: driving growth for startups, SMEs and enterprises; bridging industry and academia through experiential programmes; mentoring leaders, professionals and students; and inspiring audiences as a motivational speaker and storytelling expert. “GLX Eminence was born of a simple belief that growth must be purposeful, leadership empowering, and excellence sustainable,” said Ganguly, adding that the mission is to help brands and talent “find clarity, create significance, and engineer lasting impact.”
With the venture, the award-winning marketer is not just turning a new page but writing an entirely new playbook, one that blends boardroom lessons with classroom wisdom, and storytelling with strategy.

Sleepwell unveils nationwide sleep study on World Sleep Day
79 per cent use screens before bed, 36 per cent of 18–25-year-olds sleep ≤5 hours.
MUMBAI: Sleepwell just dropped the pillow truth bomb because when India’s sleeping less and scrolling more, even the mattress wants to stage an intervention. On World Sleep Day 2026, Sleepwell released its nationwide Sleep Study, painting a stark picture of India’s escalating sleep crisis. The findings show that 79% of Indians use screens right before bed, fuelling restless nights and drowsy days. Alarmingly, 36% of young adults aged 18–25 sleep five hours or less making them the country’s most sleep-deprived group.
The study also busts the myth of “catch-up sleep”, 65% of respondents actually sleep even later on weekends, pointing to increasingly irregular patterns that spill fatigue into the working week. Mattress discomfort emerged as a frequently overlooked culprit behind late-night wake-ups and constant leak-anxiety checks.
To drive the message home, Sleepwell’s CMO Puneet Gulati appeared on Zee Business, stressing that quality sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s foundational health. He highlighted how the right mattress can transform restless nights into restorative ones.
The brand doubled down with clever late-night activations, partnering with a quick-commerce platform to serve contextual ads between 11 pm and 3 am, gently nudging bleary-eyed scrollers to consider mattress discomfort as the reason they’re still awake and pointing them to the nearest Sleepwell store. Digital influencers and creators also shared relatable stories of how poor sleep fuels impulsive late-night behaviour.
In a nation that celebrates hustle but quietly pays for it in lost rest, Sleepwell isn’t just selling mattresses, it’s selling the radical idea that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is close your eyes and actually sleep well.
