Vijay Sales partners with Wahter for innovative advertising collab
Mumbai: Vijay Sales, a leading tech retail chain with 130 plus outlets and a daily footfall of 70000 plus, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Wahter, India’s innovative packaged water brand company with the mission of making drinking water affordable. Under this collaboration, Vijay Sales will not only advertise with Wahter but will extend its 33 stores across the Delhi NCR region to serve as prime advertising spaces for brands collaborating with Wahter.
Under this collaboration, Wahter will prominently feature Vijay Sales’ advertising on their water bottles, which will be available to the consumers at just Rs 2 for a 500 ml bottle at Wahter’s kiosks, carts, and strollers. This move aligns with both companies’ commitment to providing cost-effective and clean drinking water.
In addition, Vijay Sales stores across Delhi NCR will serve as hosts for Wahter, enabling other brands to advertise on Wahter’s packaged water bottles. Consumers visiting Vijay Sales stores will enjoy complimentary access to water bottles with the branding of various enterprises partnering with Wahter. This dual initiative not only enhances the shopping experience but also promotes clean drinking water.
“We are excited to join forces with Wahter in this pioneering initiative that promotes sustainable advertising practices. By opening up our store spaces for innovative advertising, we aim to create a platform that benefits both advertisers and clean drinking water to our customer base.” said Vijay Sales director Nilesh Gupta.
Wahter co-founder Kashiish Nenwani also expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “At Wahter, our mission is to provide clean drinking water to every individual at an affordable price point. Partnering with Vijay Sales allows us to expand our reach and fulfill this mission by making Wahter bottles accessible to a wider audience across the NCR.”
Also, Wahter recently collaborated with Scrapbuddy, to recycle PET bottles into eco-friendly fabrics and durable paver blocks. All their water bottles are recyclable and will be collected back in their carts. This initiative marks a pivotal step in Wahter’s mission to reduce environmental impact while creating innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
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.
