How brands are saying goodbye to 2020
NEW DELHI: 2020 is probably the only year that the whole world was dying to bid adieu too. Inundated with crises from all sides on top of a global pandemic, when many a plan was cancelled and existence became a little lonelier for almost everyone, the year nonetheless made us realise the value of little joys in life. One of which was dear internet! Filled with content for our every mood, it kept us entertained via a number of stories, creatives, memes, and information. The brands, as usual, made it an interesting place to be at. And now as the year is ending, here’s how some brands are again displaying their quirky sides to say bye-bye!
Durex is strangely waiting for someone to come early
Domino’s thanking the best friend of the year for all – pizza
Netflix vibing with the “dukh” of everyone
Amazon Prime putting the good and the bad all together
Zomato giving the best meme rewind
Google showing what we searched for
And Swiggy giving hopes for 2021
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.
