Soho Square wins creative mandate for Medlife
MUMBAI: Soho Square Bangalore has won the creative mandate for MedLife, the healthcare app. The agency has been awarded the reins of the account in the aftermath of a competitive multi-agency pitch. Soho Square will now partner with MedLife on a journey to simplify healthcare by making the entire experience a seamless process. The business will be handled out of the agency’s Bengaluru branch.
MedLife brings together all stakeholders in the form of a single app-based platform, thereby providing customers with a smooth experience. The app promises to make healthcare delivery simple, accessible and affordable. From buying medicines to booking lab appointments, the MedLife app makes healthcare easy for customers. The brief from the client, meanwhile, was to communicate the ease of access to genuine medicine.
MedLife CEO Tushar Kumar says, “We’ve always wanted our customer-facing communication to be easier, more joyous and for it to put a smile on faces. We wanted to drive home a short and simple communication to our potential customers that MedLife stands for the best ethics, best pharmacy practices, best service and most honest prices.”
Soho Square India chairman & chief creative officer Sumanto Chattopadhyay adds, “It is exciting for us to work with one of the pioneer online pharmacies in India. We hope to play a role in helping them grow and prosper. While this is still a nascent category, it is one with tremendous potential; helping Medlife unlock this potential will be a very interesting journey for Soho Square.
Given the size and volume of India, like any other consumer sector, the consumption in healthcare is huge. Only 1 per cent of the country buys medicine online. “With this opportunity ahead of us, our mandate is to create awareness and grow the category rapidly. The product on offer is truly advanced, which we believe has the potential to change the way India consumes medicine. This collaboration has already got us excited and we cannot wait to begin seeing what they have in store for us,” he adds.

Manindra Mohan joins CoinDCX as SVP & head – data & analytics
Former Amazon and Unacademy analytics leader to scale crypto insights
MUMBAI: India’s crypto exchange CoinDCX has appointed Manindra Mohan as SVP and head of data and analytics, bringing on board a seasoned data strategist at a time when the country’s digital asset market is entering a decisive phase.
In his new role, he will steer enterprise-wide data science, analytics and business intelligence initiatives. His mandate spans product, growth, risk and customer experience, with a clear brief to embed data-led decision-making into the company’s core as it scales across India and beyond.
Announcing the move, Mohan said he was “thrilled” to join CoinDCX, calling the Indian crypto market pivotal and ripe with opportunity. He thanked co-founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, along with Mridul Gupta, for the opportunity to help shape what he described as the future of finance.
He noted that architecting data solutions for a 24 hour global asset class presents a formidable challenge. Yet, he added, the chance to redefine financial access and drive crypto adoption “across every pin code in India” makes the task compelling.
Mohan arrives with nearly two decades of experience across technology, media and digital platforms. Before CoinDCX, he served as head of data science, analytics and BI at Carousell Group. Prior to that, he was SVP and head of analytics at Unacademy, where he built and scaled the analytics and insights function supporting product, sales, marketing and finance teams.
His earlier stints include heading analytics for Amazon prime video in India, where he oversaw data across product, acquisition, engagement and content, as well as serving as senior manager data sciences and advanced analytics at VMware and senior manager marketing and digital analytics at Dell Technologies. He began his career as senior business analyst at Cognizant, working on large scale crm and analytics implementations for global clients.
Colleagues describe Mohan as a builder of teams as much as models. From managing global analytics rollouts to leading large cross functional units, he has consistently combined statistical rigour with commercial instinct.
At CoinDCX, that blend could prove timely. As crypto exchanges navigate regulation, volatility and rising user expectations, data is no longer a back office function. It is the compass. With Mohan at the helm of analytics, CoinDCX is betting that sharper insights will translate into deeper trust and broader adoption in a market that never sleeps.
