Salman Khan launches personal care brand Frsh
MUMBAI: Bollywood actor and entrepreneur has announced the launch of his personal care and grooming brand Frsh, with the launch of an eponymous sanitiser. Frsh is co-created by Scentials Beauty Care and Wellness Pvt, a beauty brand co-founded by former tennis professional Mahesh Bhupathi.
Currently, the FRSH sanitisers – which are 72 per cent alcohol-based – are available at its official website, but later it will be available at stores.
In a launch video, uploaded by the actor on his social media handles, Khan shares that the original plan was to launch the brand with a range of deodorants. “Initially, we had planned to launch deodorants under the brand, but as per the need of the hour, we are bringing sanitisers.
Going ahead, not just sanitisers and deodorants, the brand will be launching a varied range of products, including body wipes and perfumes, shared the actor.
According to FRSH’s website, a 100 ml bottle of sanitiser costs Rs 50 and a 500 ml bottle of sanitiser is priced at Rs 250. However, if one goes for combo sets, there will be discounts from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, as per the website.

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.
