Rajiv Gupta moves on from Honda Cars, joins Tricolite as CEO
New Delhi: Rajiv Gupta has quit as vice-president, sales & marketing of Honda Cars India. He will now lead Tricolite Electrical Industries as chief executive officer.
The Delhi based company is involved in manufacturing of custom-built electrical panels and switchboards.
Gupta has spent over five years at Honda Cars, an organisation he joined in April, 2016 as national head, sales planning, brand management and marketing communications. Prior to this, he was associated with Banyan Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd for investing, mentoring and scaling start-ups. He has also spent eight years as vice-president and head – retail channel management at Reliance Industries Ltd.
A graduate from Harvard Business School, Gupta’s first stint with Honda Cars began in 1996 as manager of marketing.
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.
