Spykar launches ‘her hustle kit’ for Women’s Day
Limited-edition denim pouch gifted to women shoppers on 7–8 March.
MUMBAI: Spykar just turned handbag chaos into quiet celebration because every woman deserves a sidekick that says “you’ve got this” without saying a word. Spykar has unveiled a thoughtful Women’s Day initiative, gifting its limited-edition ‘Her Hustle Kit,’ a premium, durable denim pouch to every woman who shops at any Spykar store over the weekend of 7–8 March 2026. Each kit includes the stylish pouch, a special gift voucher and a celebratory note, designed to honour the daily juggle women manage across work, family, errands and personal dreams.
The pouch is positioned as the ultimate handbag organiser small enough to slip in, strong enough to hold the transitions from boardroom leader to school-run mum, from gym warrior to last-minute planner. It keeps essentials like lipstick, charger, safety pins and more within easy reach, eliminating the frantic rummage that so many women know too well.
Spykar co-founder and CEO Sanjay Vakharia said, “A pouch is a necessity for every woman’s handbag age, job, city no-bar. It holds her transitions from a 9-to-5 leader to a 6-to-9 dreamer, from boardroom presentations to school pick-ups. We wanted to be a part of their daily story and acknowledge their hustle with this kit.”
The activation reflects Spykar’s long-standing focus on celebrating individuality and practicality, especially for women who balance multiple roles. By turning a simple accessory into a symbol of readiness and resilience, the brand delivers more than a gift, it offers a quiet nod to the organised chaos behind every confident stride.
This Women’s Day, Spykar isn’t just selling denim, it’s handing women a little extra armour for the everyday battlefield, proving that sometimes the smallest pouch carries the biggest message: keep shining, keep hustling, keep going.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
