Forevermark expresses love and gratitude this mother’s day
MUMBAI: Forevermark, the diamond brand from the De Beers Group, has always epitomised a mother’s love for her child as pure and everlasting, just like a Forevermark diamond. Currently, we are all facing unusual circumstances and the world needs to show extraordinary strength and kindness to get through it. This Mother’s Day, we are more than grateful to the women in our lives who have taught us resilience and love, which will help us overcome these times.
To express love and gratitude, this year, Forevermark is promoting its global ‘Live and Love’ campaign as an ode to the mothers who are beautiful, brilliant and strong. Through its campaign, the brand beautifully brings out the similarities between a mother and a diamond. Just as nature conceives a diamond deep within its folds and nurtures it for a billion years, a mother too undertakes a beautiful journey and imbibes values of resilience, courage, strength in one’s life. Moreover, just like diamonds, mothers too embody strength, preciousness and love that lasts forever. These facets are brilliantly captured and showcased on the brand’s digital platforms.
The brand believes that love is found, built and honoured in the little things that we do every day. Just like a mother knows her child inside out, we should make efforts too, from knowing her simple likes and dislikes to knowing things that affect her deeply. Whether it’s going for a long walk together, enjoying a meal out, watching a film or simply wishing goodnight. Love is found in each and every one of these moments. Therefore, it is essential that we make time from our hectic schedules to live these moments with our mothers. These seemingly insignificant things that we do every day build our forever moments which are to be embraced and cherished.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
