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.

Flynas launches AI-powered ‘Find My View’ seat selector
Saudi low-cost carrier lets passengers choose flight views using predictive AI and real passenger photos.
MUMBAI: Flynas just turned window seats into VIP tickets because why leave the best views to chance when AI can hand you the front-row panorama? The Saudi low-cost airline has rolled out ‘Find My View’, billed as the world’s first intelligent, AI-driven seat selector that lets passengers pick their preferred in-flight scenery before booking. Launched on 24 February 2026 in partnership with VML Riyadh, the feature analyses flight paths, direction, time of day, and weather to predict iconic sights cloud-hugging mountains, coastline flyovers, golden-hour skylines, and famous landmarks from either side of the plane.
Instead of the usual seat-number lottery, travellers browse authentic photos snapped by previous passengers on the same routes, creating a living gallery of real views that builds trust and excitement long before takeoff. The experience stays seamless, users simply decide what they want to see, and the system suggests seats accordingly.
Flynas head of marketing and branding Yara AlMashharawi said, “’Find My View’ completely redefines what it means to choose a seat on a plane. Instead of hoping you picked the right side of the aircraft, you deliberately choose the view you want, powered by AI.”
VML Riyadh executive creative director Firas Ghannam added, “The ambition was to turn a functional choice into an emotional one by combining data, AI technology and creativity in a way that reimagines the humble seat map.”
For a low-cost carrier serving key Indian hubs New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Calicut with direct flights to multiple Saudi destinations, the tool levels the playing field: premium views no longer require premium fares. Passengers can explore routes and try the selector at findmyview.com.
In an industry where the journey is often an afterthought, flynas is betting that a curated sky show can turn every flight into a shareable moment proving that sometimes the best part of travel isn’t just getting there, but what you see on the way.
