MUMBAI: The Hero Indian Super League Season 6 is all set to start from 20th October 2019 and the two-time champions, ATK, will kick off the new season against Kerala Blasters FC in the season opening game. Reinventing their game, ATK is back with their Season 1 winning coach, Antonio Lopez Habas who got them their maiden title and stars like Pritam Kotal and Roy Krishna who will help them clinch the trophy for a record third time. All these new inclusions give the team a new vibrant feel which is captured in the new Star Sports campaign.
The TVC is part of Star Sports’ larger campaign named #TrueLove which is all about celebrating fans’ love for the beautiful game of football. ATK is back stronger with coach Habas and they are all set to make a comeback with vengeance which is expressed by Sourav Ganguly in the new commercial. The TVC takes an interesting view on how ATK is not just a team but it’s a state where fans are so passionate about football that the fans are thoroughly updated. The Dada of Bengal, Sourav Ganguly, signs off saying, “Eikhane Dada ami na, ATK” which literally translates to, Sourav Ganguly is not the dada, but ATK as a team is.

Currently ATK is at par with Chennaiyin FC as both the teams have won two titles each till date, thus giving the Kolkata based team, a chance to create history by winning the third title.

Devyani International names Sandeep Anand, Robinder Singh in key roles
Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee businesses see leadership refresh from April
MUMBAI: Devyani International has strengthened its senior leadership bench with a fresh set of appointments across its key brands, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee, signalling a sharper focus on growth and brand momentum.
The company has appointed Sandeep Anand as chief marketing officer and business head for Pizza Hut. His appointment, approved by the board via a circular resolution on April 3, follows a recommendation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, as reported by CNBC-TV18. Anand will officially step into the role on April 6, 2026.
He takes over from Vijay Gogate, who currently serves as chief executive officer for Pizza Hut within the company’s operations. The move marks a strategic transition as the brand looks to sharpen its marketing and business playbook in a competitive quick service restaurant market.
Anand brings over two decades of experience across the food and FMCG sectors, with a strong track record in brand building and innovation. His career spans roles at major consumer-facing companies including Domino’s, Zydus Wellness, Zomato, GSK Consumer Healthcare, Reckitt and Ranbaxy, giving him a well-rounded perspective on both scale and agility.
Alongside this, Robinder Singh has been appointed business head for Costa Coffee and the company’s airport operations. He too will assume his new role on April 6, bringing more than 18 years of experience in operations, business expansion and customer experience transformation.
The twin appointments come at a time when Devyani International is doubling down on leadership depth to steer its portfolio through evolving consumer preferences and heightened competition. With fresh faces at the helm of two key verticals, the company appears set to brew up its next phase of growth with renewed energy.
