Kurkure to launch new leg of ‘Tedha Hai Par Mera Hai’ campaign
MUMBAI: Kurkure is launching a new campaign introducing its new Extra Large- Super Saver pack.
The new product is being introduced with a ‘Kurkure twist‘ and takes forward the new creative strategy of the Kurkure ‘Tedha Hai Par Mera Hai family‘ introduced last month.
The ad-film starring the new “quirky” and “endearing” family is shown planning a ‘small Indian family party‘ with this new pack.
The campaign starring the family comprising of Parineeti Chopra, Kunal Kapoor, Farida Jalal, Boman Irani, Ramyakrishnan, and Shivansh is scheduled to go on air on 29 January.
It will be supported by a 360-degree marketing plan including print, radio activation and digital media engagement.
PepsiCo India executive vice president – Foods Nalin Sood said, “The key insight behind the latest campaign is that there is no such concept as a small family party in India and this makes for a good proposition for our new Extra Large pack. Taking forward our mega brand strategy, consumers will see a lot of excitement from brand Kurkure over the coming months and this campaign is a step towards it”.
The television commercials for the brand have been conceptualised and created by JWT.
JWT India chief creative officer Bobby Pawar added, “Indians love to get together for fun-filled family moments, which is what our latest campaign aims to bring alive. The concept is stemming from the thought that we all have large social circles and can‘t escape from leaving extended family/ friends out of a ‘small‘ gathering”.
In the TVC, the family is seen discussing the guest list for a small party that keeps increasing as each family member wishes to invite his/her close family and friends. Towards the end a ‘small gathering‘ becomes a ‘large party‘. However, the family has no worries as they have the new Kurkure Extra Large – Super Saver pack that is the perfect snacking option for such large family occasions.
The TVC 40 seconder TVC is producer by Love & Faith‘s Varun Shah.
For the record, the media planning agency for the account is Mindshare.
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.
