Times OOH helps Godrej Interio set up Experience Zone at Mumbai Airport
MUMBAI: India’s largest outdoor Advertising agency, Times OOH has helped Godrej Interio in setting up a first-of-its-kind experience centre in the garb of a retail space, at Terminal 2 of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai.
As per research commissioned by Times OOH, the average dwell time at Terminal 2 is 115 minutes, out of which approximately 10 dedicated minutes are spent at experiential centres. This lucrative business opportunity enabled Godrej Interio to set up experiential centres that offer superior comfort for passengers to experience their products while also offer larger spaces for better display.
Times OOH product head – Airports Dhanraj Israni said, “The Godrej Interio campaign at Mumbai Airport’s T2 Terminal was unique in the way it enabled flyers to experience the brand’s products vis-a-vis a targeted communication, This impactful branding exercise would have a long-lasting positive association in the minds of the passengers. After this runaway success, we are looking forward to using our recently installed modular plug-and-play kiosks to shorten the turnaround time for promotional events at the airport for future endeavours.”
Mumbai International Airport is among the busiest in the world, recording a footfall of over 50 Million Passengers in the last financial year, with the festive season leading to higher footfalls. Given a passenger at Mumbai Airport indulges in shopping twice a month on average, and 97 per cent passengers belong to the elite NCCS A category. Times OOH’s impactful dynamic ad presence along with high visibility was able to deliver significant brand recall and unparalleled value to Godrej Interio.
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.
