Unicommerce taps Gaurav Juneja to drive revenue engine
NEW DELHI: Unicommerce is stepping on the accelerator. The e-commerce enablement SaaS firm has appointed Gaurav Juneja as chief revenue officer, tasking him with scaling growth as the platform pushes deeper into B2B, quick commerce and overseas markets.
Juneja will own the revenue playbook end to end, from sales and business development to customer growth and new market creation. He will also help shape go-to-market strategies for emerging products and verticals as Unicommerce widens its footprint beyond core e-commerce operations.
With more than two decades across consumer internet, financial services and retail, Juneja brings a blend of operating rigour and entrepreneurial instinct. His résumé spans leadership roles at Kapture.cx, Google, Reliance Retail and Bryan, Garnier & Co, and includes co-founding online grocery firm StarQuik, later acquired by Tata Trent. He began his career with stints at Lehman Brothers and Li & Fung India.
Kapil Makhija, managing director and chief executive at Unicommerce, said Juneja’s experience in large-scale digital transformation and data-led growth would be central to the company’s next phase. His understanding of SaaS and e-commerce, he added, would help sharpen Unicommerce’s market position as demand for smarter retail infrastructure rises.
Juneja said the opportunity lay in deepening customer partnerships while accelerating domestic and international growth. The focus, he noted, would be disciplined execution, sharper go-to-market moves and sustained scale.
The appointment comes as Unicommerce broadens its product stack, rolling out tools across B2B commerce, quick commerce, video verification and AI-led automation, while its logistics arm Shipway adds intelligence to shipping and support. The message is clear: Unicommerce is not just growing, it is gearing up to grow faster.

Hisense launches Intelli Cool Pro air conditioners in India
New range brings rapid inverter cooling, Wi Fi voice control and R32 refrigerant
MUMBAI: Hisense is turning up the cool factor in India’s home appliance market with the launch of its Intelli Cool Pro Series room air conditioners, a new premium range designed to combine faster cooling with smarter connectivity.
Announced on 9 March, the launch expands the company’s residential air conditioner portfolio in India and brings its latest inverter technology and connected features to Indian homes.
At the centre of the new range is Hisense’s QSD rapid inverter technology, designed to accelerate compressor performance and bring down room temperature quickly after the unit is switched on. The system is built on the company’s nine generations of inverter development and aims to deliver stable cooling, reduced power fluctuations and improved long term reliability.
The Intelli Cool Pro Series also features an AI smart mode that automatically adjusts cooling levels according to room conditions and user preferences. The goal is simple: maintain comfort while keeping energy consumption in check.
Beyond cooling, the company is pitching the new models as a solution for healthier indoor air. The units are equipped with a 4 in 1 healthy filter designed to capture fine particulate matter, while a self clean function helps maintain hygiene within the system and improves overall air quality inside the home.
Connectivity is another key focus. The air conditioners come with built in Wi Fi through the Hisense ConnectLife platform, allowing users to control and monitor their AC remotely using a smartphone. Voice control is supported in both English and Hindi, while features such as scheduling and temperature customisation make it possible to manage cooling settings from anywhere.
From an environmental perspective, the new range uses R32 refrigerant, which has a global warming potential around 65 per cent lower than the commonly used R410A refrigerant. The company says the shift supports its broader push towards more energy efficient and environmentally responsible appliances.
The Intelli Cool Pro Series is designed to deliver powerful and even cooling across different room sizes. It includes features such as quick chill technology with 3D airflow design, four way auto swing for uniform air distribution and long distance airflow to cool larger spaces effectively. Multiple sleep modes, quiet operation and stabiliser free performance are also part of the package.
Hisense India chief executive officer Pankaj Rana said modern air conditioning needs to go beyond basic cooling as consumers increasingly look for intelligent performance, energy efficiency and healthier indoor environments. He added that the Intelli Cool Pro Series combines rapid inverter technology, AI driven adaptability and smart connectivity to meet the evolving needs of Indian households.
Along with the Intelli Cool Pro Series, Hisense has also introduced the Intelli Cool Series and the Eco Cool Series in India, further expanding its presence in the country’s growing air conditioner market.
