A proposition for grown up palates, Cadbury Dark Milk appeals to an advanced, matured audience who enjoy varied experiences in their “me time” indulgent moments.

Our brands play a special role in people’s lives. Increasingly consumers want products that reflect their lifestyle and we have always been at the forefront of creating distinctive products and platforms to address this need. Cadbury Dark Milk is a unique product that offers a heightened delight of a grown-up chocolate. In this binary world of milk and dark chocolate, Cadbury Dark Milk refuses these boundaries that takes the best of both worlds and creates a distinct blend for an evolved, unconventional taste. And there couldn’t have been a better brand ambassador than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to introduce Cadbury Dark Milk as she truly embodies the exceptional appeal of this new product innovation with her ground-breaking milestones.

It has been great fun working on this campaign and I am very excited to share this experience with you and see it come to life!”
The launch of Cadbury Dark Milk will be supported by a 360-degree communication campaign, designed to demonstrate the Richer, Darker, Creamier chocolate experience, which will include a new TVC, innovative Outdoor & Digital campaigns and strong in-store visibility. Priced at Rs. 99 for 72 gms (available in Original – Rich & Creamy variant) and Rs. 199 for 156 gms (available in Original – Rich & Creamy and Salted Caramel – Rich & Creamy variant), Cadbury Dark Milk is all set to take on the chocolate category in India, one bite at a time!
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.
