Jack in the Box Worldwide appoints Abinandan Bose as creative director
MUMBAI: Integrated communications agency, Jack in the Box Worldwide, has strengthened its creative offering with the appointment of Abinandan Bose as the creative director. Bose will manage and oversee the copy, design and social media teams, and will report to the soon to be announced president of Jack in the Box Worldwide.
Bose brings with him almost 12 years of rich experience from his previous stints at JWT, MRM//McCann and Adfactors PR. Over the years, he has been instrumental in conceptualizing and delivering on creative mandates for brands such as AEGON Religare, Reid & Taylor, Zoom TV, Smirnoff, ITC, Taj Luxury, SBI, and Goa Tourism to name a few.
The 120 Media Collective CEO Roopak Saluja said, “Abinandan joins Jack in the Box Worldwide at a point in our evolution where we need someone of his calibre and experience to take our creative product to the next level as an integrated communications agency for 2020. I’m personally very excited about what he brings to the party. Watch this space for more in the weeks ahead.”
“In the clutter of digital agencies and integrated solution providers, it is a breathtaking opportunity to be appointed as a curator of a clear vision and a highly energetic creative culture. I am excited to be a part of this idea called Jack in the Box. Also, the talented bunch at JITB, gives me confidence that we can shine through as one of the brightest stars in the beautiful world of advertising,” Bose added.
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.
