Announcing the launch, Zen Mobile, managing director, Deepesh Gupta said, “We did not want to promote it in the usual way by showcasing the product features and specifications. Through the commercial we have tried to demonstrate how the features can be used in real life situations. We have tried to keep the feel of the phone very international and young as it is targeted toward the age group of 15-30 years. The TVC has been executed to suit the international audience also as we plan to extend our operations in other countries to apart from India and Bangladesh. Zen Ultrafone 701HD is certainly one of the best innovations from Zen Mobile and reaffirms our business tenet of getting best of technology to the end consumers. We take pride in bringing pioneering technologies to the mobile users of today, which is in line with transforming their constantly evolving mobile experience.”
Zen Mobile claims that they have tried to keep the product as innovative as possible in a brand competitive space, one of the biggest players being HTC. Glue Brandworks founder, Gautam Mehta states, “All the way through making the TVC we have tried to highlight the different features of the phone announcing an integrated lifestyle. The major challenge we faced while making the TVC was that the phone has too many feature and how do we make justice by demonstrating the features in a fun way and not a boring specification commercial.” The product will be promoted through regional print media and digital media. Zen Mobile plans to invest an estimate of rupees 40 to 45 crore (80 per cent of their marketing budget) in promoting the product in this financial year.
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.
