MUMBAI: Subway® India has released a new TVC campaign #GetDesified to add momentum to its newly launched desi flavours.
The TVC #GetDesified is a fun invitation to food lovers to indulge inSubway’s mouth-watering desi flavours namely Mutton Keema, Chicken Seekh Masala, Soya Keema and Paneer Bhurji Masala. The TVC, laced with wit and humour, highlights the comic camaraderie between a foreign girl and an Indian boy.
In the TVC, an Indian boy sees a beautiful foreign girl, ordering her food at a Subway® restaurant using a foreign language. To impress the girl, the boy also starts conversing in the same language, the girl was speaking. Meanwhile, the sandwich artist hands-over the girl’s order of Loaded Signature Wrap in newdesi flavour.
Ms Shuchi Monga, Head of Marketing, Subway®South Asia said, “We Indians have a strong connection with the food that we’ve grown up eating. The TVC, in a humorous way, depicts how the new desi flavours can bring out the desi-ness in anyone.”
The TVC, highlighting the new flavours, shot in Subway’s new Fresh Forward design, will surely connect with audience across all age bands and will definitely inspire them to try the new menu items, added Ms Monga.
To promote their new menu-items, Subway® India has built a 360-degree marketing campaign, led by the traditional as well as the digital media where bespoke creative derived from the main TVC will be played on TV.
The TVC has been produced by Happy Making Films and the creative agency is Dentsu Creative Impact.
Mr Amit Wadhwa, President, Dentsu Creative Impact said, “Young Indians today are no longer shy about embracing and celebrating their desi-ness. So, with the introduction of desi flavours, there is a great opportunity to add a desi twist to Subway® offerings, thereby bringing it closer to consumers’ heart.”
Mr Gaurav Kandpal, Director, Happy Making Films said,“In this TVC we have used lighting and music as tools in setting up a transformation in context of the build-up and reveal. Idea is to lead the audience into the plot and then bring in the surprise element.”
The new menu items will be available for a limited period across all Subway®restaurants in India and would also be available on delivery platforms.
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.
