Niva Bupa cracks the ‘Girl Logic’ code to empower women with health cover
MUMBAI: Health insurance isn’t just a policy, it’s power. And this Women’s Day, Niva Bupa Health Insurance is giving women the nudge they need with its latest campaign, health insurance ka Girl Logic. While women are breaking barriers across education, careers, and lifestyle, many still shy away from financial decision-making especially when it comes to health insurance. Niva Bupa is on a mission to change that, one smart choice at a time.
At the heart of this campaign is entrepreneur, philanthropist, and wellness advocate Shalini Passi, who redefines ‘Girl Logic’ as the ultimate life hack for financial and health security. In her signature style, she highlights how choosing health insurance should be as instinctive as any other self-care decision because true independence starts with being prepared for the unexpected.
Niva Bupa EVP & CMO Nimish Agrawal explained, “Women are often the primary caregivers, yet their own health and financial security take a backseat. ‘Health Insurance ka Girl Logic’ is a reminder that protecting yourself is not just about health, it’s about empowerment. Partnering with Shalini Passi brings this message to life, inspiring women to take charge of their future with confidence.”
The campaign takes a light-hearted yet impactful approach to encourage women to prioritise their own health, instead of leaving financial decisions to the men in their lives. With engaging digital storytelling, Niva Bupa simplifies health insurance, making it relatable, accessible, and essential.
This Women’s Day, Niva Bupa invites women to embrace their ‘Girl Logic’ because when it comes to health and finances, being in control is the smartest decision of all.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
