P&G appoints Karisma Kapoor as brand ambassador for Olay
MUMBAI: P&G has appointed Indian actress Karisma Kapoor as the new brand ambassador for its anti ageing skincare product, Olay Total Effects.
Kapoor joins other actresses — Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Tisca Chopra and Ira Dubey.
P&G Beauty head Sonali Dhawan said, “We welcome Karisma to the Olay Total Effects family, and are excited about having her on board as she exemplifies the Olay philosophy of challenge what’s possible.”
Kapoor can be seen starring in a new television commercial for Olay Total Effects airing across major television channels.
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.
