Vizeum bags Dalmia Bharat Group’s media account
MUMBAI: The Dalmia Bharat Group, which has interests in diverse business verticals, has appointed Aegis Media‘s Vizeum as its media AoR.
The agency will handle the account out of its Delhi and Chennai offices.
Vizeum also has the media account of Dalmia Group‘s cement business, which it services out of its Chennai office.
Dalmia Bharat Group executive director group marketing and corporate communications B K Singh said, “It was a natural choice given our satisfactory partnership in cement business that we didn‘t need to look beyond Vizeum for the media duties of the group. They have had a proven track record with Dalmia Cement. The team is proactive, extremely passionate and provides a good balance of thinking and doing.”
Vizeum MD Indian subcontinent S Yesudas added, “We are truly humbled beyond words in expressing our delight for the faith our clients are placing on us. We will do all that we can to ensure no stones are left unturned in creating efficiencies and effectiveness for Dalmia Bharat Group.”
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.
