MUMBAI GIVES AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S ARRIVAL
With the world premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s 43rd original production BAZZAR still a couple of months away, BookMyShow today reciprocated to the overwhelming response to Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR by opening ticket sales for a new set of shows in Mumbai earlier than expected. Like the rest, these shows too will be held inside the iconic ‘Big Top’ until December 9th which will find its home at the conveniently located MMRDA Grounds. The unique ‘Big Top’ with its immersive panoramic stage provides the audience an immersive experience- making every seat a good seat!
Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR, presented by Citibank, is cutting across all age groups and family audiences with its tickets getting sold at a lightning speed. The audience is traveling all the way from other cities including Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Hyderabad to catch the world’s largest live entertainment company in action. In addition, many corporates are also viewing Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR as an opportunity to entertain their clients as well as reward their employees. For Mumbai alone, corporate sales have already contributed close to 50% ticket sales in terms of value.
“The excitement for Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR is clearly palpable as we prepare for their debut in India. We have received a phenomenal response for their shows in Mumbai and anticipate the remaining seats to be sold out extremely quickly,” said Kunal Khambhati, Head- Live Events and IP, BookMyShow.
Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR is an eclectic performance lab of infinite creativity where a joyful troupe of acrobats, dancers, and musicians contrive an awe-inspiring spectacle. Through their shows, Cirque du Soleil takes its viewers into unparalleled worlds with never seen before acrobatics, impressive choreographies and immersive characters and stories, which are told entirely through breath-taking visuals, thereby transcending any language barriers and appealing to a large audience.
After the shows in Mumbai, Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR will head to Delhi to entertain the audiences before moving on to other countries.

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.
