  • Om Jha levels up: From Pepsico prodigy to global media maestro

    Om Jha levels up: From Pepsico prodigy to global media maestro

    MUMBAI: Five and a half years ago, Om Jha took his first sip of Pepsico’s high-energy corporate culture—nervous, excited, and ready to shake things up. Now, with a portfolio of impactful marketing, media, and data-driven campaigns under his belt, he is stepping into the future with a brand-new role in the company’s global media & transformation team. From Gurgaon to Plano, Texas, Jha’s journey has been nothing short of fizz-tastic. But what’s next? Let’s pop the cap and find out.

    “I was stepping in to do something I had never done before,” Jha reminisced about his early days at Pepsico. “Thanks to Vishal Kaul for hiring me and introducing me to the world of possibilities, and thanks to George Kovoor and Anshul Khanna for letting me define my own role with every passing year.”

    Jha didn’t just dip his toes into the Pepsico pool—he dived in headfirst. As head of media & partnerships (2019–2022), he spearheaded efforts to connect Pepsico’s legendary brands with consumers using a potent mix of media, data, and technology. He led high-stakes advertising and marketing negotiations, ensuring every penny squeezed out more efficiency and effectiveness.

    By 2022, he stepped up as director – media, data, marketing capabilities & partnerships. Here, he architected a robust first-party data-led marketing infrastructure, setting the stage for cutting-edge digital campaigns and award-winning brand partnerships.

    Fast forward to March 2025, and Jha is now embracing his biggest role yet—director of global media capabilities. This new challenge places him at the intersection of global strategy and transformation, a role tailor-made for someone who thrives on the ever-evolving media landscape.

    But Pepsico is just one stop in Jha’s dynamic career. Before this, he was assistant vice president – customer strategy at Disney Star (2018-2019), where he led the strategy vertical for the northern region, handling TV and digital ad sales revenue across multiple entertainment portfolios. Prior to that, he spent nearly two years as senior director – strategy at GroupM, simplifying media and technology for brands while driving insights-based performance marketing.

    Jha’s journey also took him through the telecom world. At Airtel (2015-2016), he headed business planning & consumer insights for the Delhi circle, overseeing operational strategy, financial planning, and product pricing. Before that, he honed his consulting expertise at KPMG India (2014-2015), managing large-scale business transformation projects.

    His early career included a five-year stint at Idea Cellular Ltd, where he worked as chief of staff in the MD’s office, focusing on corporate strategy and operations. He also gained experience in engineering and manufacturing at Mahindra Group (2005-2007), before transitioning into business roles.

    “A huge thank you to Shyam Venugopal and Abhishek Jadon for this opportunity,” Jha said, his excitement as palpable as the fizz in a freshly opened Pepsi can.

    Corporate careers are a bit like carbonated drinks—always under pressure, occasionally shaken, but ultimately, they’re all about making a splash. And if Jha’s track record is anything to go by, he’s about to pop the lid on something truly groundbreaking.

  • Carson Dalton bids adieu to Coca-Cola, pops the cap on GSK role

    Carson Dalton bids adieu to Coca-Cola, pops the cap on GSK role

    MUMBAI: Carson Dalton is on the move again. After nearly five years of stirring up success at Coca-Cola, he’s now uncapping a fresh opportunity at GSK as executive vice president – communications & government affairs. From fizzy drinks to pharmaceuticals, Dalton’s career shift is as refreshing as an ice-cold cola on a scorching summer day. But what made him trade in the red can for the white lab coat? Let’s dive in.

    At the end of February, Dalton waved goodbye to The Coca-Cola Company, leaving behind an iconic American brand with a truly global footprint. “Coca-Cola is an iconic American company with a set of truly global brands, it is also a profoundly local business as all beverages are made in a country. This means the company has a significant socio-economic multiplier effect in the local communities where it is served,” he reflected.

    Dalton, who was at the heart of Coca-Cola’s communications across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives, had his hands full juggling multiple stakeholders. “The efforts of my multi-faceted and agile team involve enabling and protecting the interconnected value chain of our brands and bottling partners. We engage with bottling teams, collaborate with local and global functions, consumers, partners, customers, and various external stakeholders.”

    For Dalton, the magic of Coca-Cola wasn’t just in its fizzy formulas but in the bigger picture—how consumer goods mirror economic trajectories. “Since joining the company, I’ve been most excited to focus my efforts at the intersection of business, economics and governance as the growth of consumer goods mirrors the overall economic trajectory of a country,” he said.

    He leaves behind a legacy of strategic storytelling, navigating regulatory landscapes, and, of course, ensuring that every sip of Coke came with a side of strong brand positioning. But he’s not one to stay still for long. He’s already got his next big gig lined up.

    “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as executive vice president – communications & government affairs at GSK!” he announced, barely letting the Coca-Cola bubbles settle.

    Corporate careers, he muses, are a game of ladders—each step bringing new challenges, new drinks (Thums Up, in his case), and a higher vantage point to survey the landscape. “Growth is the blood of a career. It is akin to a step ladder – you climb a step every few years, do a high five, have a celebratory drink (of Thums Up), elevate your network, look at the world around you from the newfound height and then look up the steps above yet to be climbed.”

    And climb he has. The move to GSK puts Dalton at the helm of communications and government affairs for a global pharmaceutical giant. It’s a shift from sugary indulgence to healthcare essentials, but if anyone can navigate the high-pressure world of corporate storytelling, it’s him.

Bhandarkar’s addition to the TCS board signals a sharper focus on financial strategy and governance.

  • Types of Commercial Vehicle Insurance in India

    Types of Commercial Vehicle Insurance in India

    Commercial vehicle insurance is a kind of policy designed to protect businesses and individuals who use vehicles for commercial purposes. Unlike private vehicle insurance, it offers coverage against accidents, damages, third-party liabilities, and other risks.

    Whichever kind of commercial vehicle you own, having the right insurance ensures financial security and compliance with legal requirements in India.

    Read on to explore the various types of commercial vehicle insurance available and choose the one that best suits your needs.

    What are the Types of Commercial Vehicle Insurance?

    Choosing the right commercial vehicle insurance is crucial for protecting your business against financial risks. Here are the main types of commercial vehicle insurance available in India:

    Third-party Liability Insurance

    This is a mandatory insurance policy under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. It covers damages or injuries suffered by a third party, including property damage and medical expenses. However, it does not cover any damage to the insured vehicle.

    Comprehensive Commercial Vehicle Insurance

    This policy provides extensive coverage, including damages to your vehicle due to accidents, theft, fire, natural calamities, and vandalism. It also includes third-party liability, ensuring complete financial protection for vehicle owners.

    Types of Commercial Vehicles Covered

    Commercial vehicle insurance in India provides coverage for a wide array of vehicles used for business. Here are the key categories of commercial vehicles that can be insured:

    . Passenger-carrying Vehicles: This includes buses, taxis, auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws, and other vehicles used for transporting passengers. Insurance for these vehicles covers damages, liabilities, and accidents to ensure passenger safety and financial security.

     . Goods-carrying Vehicles: Trucks, lorries, tempos, trailers, and other transport vehicles that carry goods fall under this category. A commercial truck insurance policy covers damages to the vehicle and goods in transit, as well as third-party liabilities.

     . Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs): Small cargo carriers, pickup trucks, mini trucks, and delivery vans used for business operations are covered under LCV insurance. This is ideal for businesses involved in local transportation and logistics.

     . Two-wheeler Commercial Vehicles: This category includes motorcycles and scooters used for delivery services, such as food delivery and courier services. Insurance protects against accidental theft, damages, and third-party liabilities. 

    . Miscellaneous Vehicles: Special-purpose vehicles like ambulances, cranes, tractors, excavators, and construction vehicles are also covered under insurance. These policies are tailored to provide protection based on the vehicle’s specific use.

    Benefits of Commercial Vehicle Insurance

    Commercial vehicle insurance provides essential financial protection for businesses that depend on vehicles for operations. Here are the key benefits:

    . Financial Protection Against Damages: The policy covers repair and replacement costs if the insured vehicle is damaged due to accidents, fire, natural calamities, or vandalism.

     . Third-party Liability Coverage: It provides compensation for damages or injuries caused to third parties, including property damage, medical expenses, and legal liabilities. 

    . Protection Against Theft and Loss: If the commercial vehicle is stolen or irreparably damaged, the insurance policy helps recover the financial loss, minimising business disruptions. 

    . Employee and Passenger Safety: Insurance policies often include personal accident cover for the driver and passengers, ensuring financial security in case of injury or loss of life. 

    . Business Continuity: With insurance covering damages, theft, and liabilities, businesses can continue operations without major financial setbacks. 

    . Coverage for Goods in Transit: Goods-carrying commercial vehicles can opt for additional coverage to protect the transported goods from damages or loss. 

    . Legal Compliance: Having a valid commercial vehicle insurance plan ensures adherence to Indian motor laws, preventing penalties and legal complications. 

    . Customisable Add-on Covers: Businesses can enhance their insurance with add-ons such as roadside assistance, zero depreciation, and engine protection for comprehensive security.

    Inclusions, Exclusions and Add-on Covers

    Understanding the coverage scope of commercial vehicle insurance is essential for making an informed decision. Here’s what is included, excluded, and available as additional protection.

    Commercial Vehicle Insurance Inclusions

    Commercial vehicle insurance provides coverage for the following:

    . Accidental Damage: Covers repair or replacement costs if the insured vehicle is damaged due to an accident.

     . Theft or Total Loss: Provides compensation if the vehicle is stolen or suffers irreparable damage. 

    . Fire and Natural Calamities: Protects against losses due to fire, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and other natural disasters. 

    . Third-party Liability: Covers injury, death, or property damage caused to a third party by the insured vehicle.

     . Personal Accident Cover: Offers financial assistance for medical treatment, disability, or death of the owner-driver.

    Commercial Vehicle Insurance Exclusions 

    The insurance plans do not cover:

    . Wear and Tear: Damages due to normal aging or depreciation of the vehicle. 

    . Drunk Driving or Illegal Use: Accidents occurring under the influence of alcohol/drugs or during unlawful activities.

     . Mechanical or Electrical Breakdown: Repairs for mechanical failures or manufacturing defects are not covered.

     . Driving Without a Valid License: If the driver does not have a valid license at the time of the accident, the claim is not honored.

     . War or Nuclear Risks: Damages caused by war, nuclear hazards, or terrorist activities.

    Commercial Vehicle Insurance: Add-ons

    You can enhance your coverage with optional add-ons, including:

    . Zero Depreciation Cover: Offers full claim settlement without deducting depreciation on vehicle parts. 

    . Roadside Assistance: Provides emergency services like towing, fuel delivery, and minor repairs.

     . Engine Protection Cover: Covers engine damage due to water ingress or oil leakage.

     . Loss of Revenue Cover: Compensates for financial loss if the insured vehicle is under repair and out of service. 

    . Personal Belongings Cover: Provides compensation for loss or damage to personal items kept in the vehicle.

    Factors Affecting Commercial Vehicle Insurance Premiums

    The premium for these insurance plans is determined by several factors. Understanding these factors can help business owners and vehicle operators make informed decisions while purchasing or renewing their policies.

    . Type of Vehicle: The make, model, and category of the commercial vehicle—whether it is a truck, bus, taxi, or auto-rickshaw—impact the premium. Larger and high-value vehicles typically have higher premiums.

     . Vehicle Age and Condition: Newer vehicles have higher premiums due to their higher market value, while older vehicles may have lower premiums but higher depreciation. Well-maintained vehicles may also attract better premium rates. 

    . Usage and Purpose: The nature of usage affects the risk factor. Vehicles used for transporting hazardous goods or covering long distances regularly tend to have higher premiums compared to those used for limited local transport. 

    . Insured Declared Value (IDV): IDV represents the vehicle’s current market value, which directly influences the premium. A higher IDV means a higher premium, while a lower IDV reduces the premium but may lead to lower claim payouts. 

    . No Claim Bonus (NCB): If the policyholder has not made any claims in the previous policy term, they can avail of a discount on the renewal premium through the No Claim Bonus, which can go up to 50% for consecutive claim-free years. 

    . Location and Operating Area: Vehicles operating in high-risk areas, such as urban locations with heavy traffic or regions prone to theft and accidents, may have higher premiums compared to those in low-risk rural areas. 

    . Coverage Type and Add-ons: Comprehensive policies with extensive coverage cost more than third-party liability insurance. Additional coverage like zero depreciation, engine protection, and roadside assistance further increase the premium.

     . Driver’s Profile and Experience: The driving history, experience, and claims record of the driver play a crucial role in determining the premium. A driver with a history of accidents or traffic violations may result in higher premiums.

     . Fuel Type: Diesel vehicles usually have higher insurance premiums than petrol or CNG vehicles due to maintenance and repair costs. Electric vehicles may also have different premium structures. 

    . Modifications and Accessories: Any modifications to enhance vehicle performance or aesthetics, such as engine upgrades or custom bodywork, can increase the premium due to the added replacement or repair costs.

    Commercial vehicle insurance is an important safeguard for businesses that depend on vehicles for transportation, logistics, or passenger services. It not only offers financial protection against theft, damages, and third-party liabilities but also complies with legal requirements.

    Choosing the right kind of insurance-whether comprehensive, third-party, or with add-on covers—can help businesses mitigate risks effectively. Investing in a suitable commercial vehicle insurance plan ensures smooth business functioning and long-term financial security.

  • Bharat Gupta steps down as CEO of Jagran New Media

    Bharat Gupta steps down as CEO of Jagran New Media

    MUMBAI:  After 25 years with Jagran Prakashan Ltd nd Jagran New Media, Bharat Gupta is stepping down as CEO, swapping boardroom battles for the unknown horrors of “new opportunities.”

    “It has been an extraordinary journey,” said Gupta. “Leaving isn’t easy, but I do so with gratitude and optimism.” 
    Under Gupta’s reign, the company became a digital juggernaut, with him steering the organisation through an era of rapid technological change and shifting media consumption habits. From tackling misinformation to driving audience engagement, his leadership has left an undeniable mark:

    * Strengthening Journalism: Launched VishvasNews.com, India’s pioneering fact-checking platform in 12 languages—because someone had to clean up the internet. In an age where facts are as slippery as politicians’ promises, the platform became a beacon of credibility.

    * Expanding Reach: Led a multi-language expansion to bring credible journalism to the masses, whether they wanted it or not. Thanks to his initiatives, Jagran New Media now caters to audiences across India, ensuring no one is left out of the loop.

    * Innovating Digital Media: Introduced HerZindagi.com, a bilingual, women-centric platform that dared to tell women what they already knew but in a way that algorithms would actually let them see it.

    * Forging Alliances: Partnered with Google, Meta, and other overlords of the digital world, ensuring that Jagran New Media remained in the good books of the tech titans who decide what the internet looks like on any given day.

    * Driving Growth: Earned global recognition and awards, which are great for press releases but still don’t pay the bills. Despite the industry’s turbulent nature, Jagran New Media remained a key player, balancing business sustainability with quality journalism.

    With Gupta leaving, the question arises—who now will take over? For now, COO Gaurav Arora will take the wheel.  Jagran New Media, meanwhile, reassures everyone that it will remain laser-focused on digital innovation, journalistic integrity, and convincing people to read beyond the headlines instead of just angrily reacting to them on social media.
    Gupta remains deeply invested in the future of digital media—just not from behind the CEO’s desk. “The industry is evolving rapidly. This is a time for reflection and new beginnings,” he said.
