Mohan Sanda is JWT senior creative director
MUMBAI: Further strengthening its creative team, JWT has appointed Mohan Sanda as senior creative director.
Sanda, who was earlier with Rediffusion-Y&R Mumbai as creative head, art, will report to executive creative director Tista Sen. His mandate includes working on brands like Lux, Sunsilk and D‘décor.
Talking about his joining JWT, Sanda said, “JWT has always been a home to me. Before I joined Rediffusion Mumbai four and a half years ago, I was with JWT, Bangalore. After that I moved on to Mumbai with a quest to work on bigger brands and teams. Here, I will get the opportunity to work on brands in the premium segment.”
Sanda started his career with Rediffusion Bangalore where he spent around three-and-a-half years. From there, he moved to JWT Bangalore. “At JWT Bengaluru, I had the opportunity to work on several fashion brands, and was introduced to a more understated form of communication,” he revealed.
After about four-and-half years, Sanda moved to Rediffusion Mumbai where he worked closely on brands such as Kaya Skin Clinic and Tata Nano.
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.
