Quadrant bags creative duties of Paranjape Schemes
MUMBAI: Quadrant Communications has bagged the creative duties of real estate developers Paranjape Schemes.
According to market sources, the account size is pegged at Rs 40-50 million.
The mandate was given following a multi-agency pitch.
Two years back, the creative agency had worked on the developer’s launch project in Pune for a year.
Paranjape Schemes have in the past developed large parts of the Mumbai suburbs. After a gap of some years, they are re- entering the Mumbai market.
Quadrant Communications President and CEO Rajan Narayan said, “Paranjape appreciated our work in Pune and were impressed with our approach for Mumbai market as well. We are very excited about the win and looking forward to work with them again.”
Narayan also stated that currently they are working on a project called Royal Court.
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.
