Mindshare bags media duties of SPR&RG Constructions
MUMBAI: Media agency Mindshare’s Chennai has added Tamil Nadu-based real estate developer SPR&RG Constructions to its client portfolio.
The mandate involves handling the media strategy as well as planning and buying across all mediums.
SPR&RG VP – marketing and sales Sandeep Pantvaidya said, “With two upcoming projects in Chennai at Porur and Vepery, we were considering partnering with an agency that has expertise in local media and has ability to put to use global knowledge at local level for all our forthcoming projects. We are glad to have Mindshare on board to handle brand SPRRG and Chlorophyll. We look forward to a lengthy and profitable partnership with Mindshare in the years to come.”
Mindshare Leader South Asia Ravi Rao said, “This win is great news to follow Mindshare’s recent growing focus on strengthening our South operations. They have a great vision for the category and we believe we can do some game-changing work for the brand and look forward to doing it well.”
SPR&RG Constructions Private Limited is engaged in the acquisition and development of residential and commercial properties besides executing turnkey infrastructure projects in Tamil Nadu. The company is coming up with their second large scale project in Chennai – Osian Chorophyll where they bring on board the social conscience that ensures they are responsible and contribute to the societies they are operating in.
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.
