Prime Focus unveils new ad facility
MUMBAI: Prime Focus, the global visual entertainment services company, has unveiled its refurbished advertising facility ‘Prime Focus Commercials‘.
Located in the western suburbs of Mumbai, the facility represents a new offering to the Indian advertising industry.
“Prime Focus has always been a leader in this space, and to maintain and expand upon this position we are bringing in changes that will not only suit the current market, but will also have the potential to support future growth,” Prime Focus Commercials, India CEO Bhaarath Sundar said.
“We know that the competition is fierce in the facilities sector, and we have transformed our business to ensure that we offer our clients more – more creative input, more efficiencies, and more value for money,” he added.
The new facility introduces cutting-edge technology with a full HD post production service, end-to-end file-based workflows, 12 smoke suites and 10 offline machines, the company said.
In color grading, two Baselights with HD monitoring have been installed, and a dedicated VFX area has been created with 50 VFX seats. The facility is connected by a high speed Infiniband SAN to facilitate tapeless workflows.
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.
