Vi elevates Anveesh Khosla as CMO, Kavita Nair moves on
New Delhi: Vi, a leading telecom player, has elevated Avneesh Khosla as the new CMO of the brand. He will be spearheading the overall marketing activities of the new brand entity Vi.
Khosla is an old hand at Vodafone and has been with the organisation for over 12 years and served in multiple roles. In the last role, he was serving as the director of marketing for the brand.
The development comes after Vi chief digital transformation officer moved on from the organisation. She is also an old hand at the telecom brand and has been associated with it for over 20 years.
She successfully spearheaded the Vi launch in the Indian market.
She has led different roles such as Marcom, data business, enterprise marketing, retail digital and customer experience. Nair will be soon moving out of the organisation and is said to have chosen a different career path for herself in the future.
The company has confirmed both the developments.
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.
