Liberty ropes in Hrithik Roshan as brand ambassador
MUMBAI: The footwear brand, Liberty Shoes, has roped in Indian actor Hrithik Roshan as its brand ambassador.
With this move, Liberty is aiming to connect with the youth by giving the brand a vibrant and youthful makeover.
Roshan comments, “It feels great to be a part of a home grown brand which has been constantly serving the world-wide audience since more than 50 years. Besides, the collection is superbly- stylish yet comfortable, just how we all like it.”
In sync with the association, Liberty would introduce new products across all brand portfolios. The collection would soon be available in the market by the end of the month.
Apart from this, Liberty is aggressively planning to strengthen its Southern markets by opening up at least 50 stores in South with a total of 100 stores all over India.
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.
