    Navi UPI hits a six with early RCB ticket access and cricket contest

    MUMBAI: Cricket meets convenience as Navi UPI, the Official Payments Partner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), returns with another exclusive offer for fans this time unlocking early ticket access for RCB’s final three home matches of the season. Starting 11 am on April 16, Navi UPI users will enjoy a 24-hour head start to book tickets for blockbuster clashes against Chennai (3 May), Hyderabad (13 May), and Kolkata (17 May), well before the general public scrambles to grab theirs.

    All it takes to score this VIP access is a tap on the RCB ticket banner in the Navi app and a payment via Navi UPI. This second wave of early access follows the resounding success of the first ticket window launched in March, which saw fans race ahead of the crowd to secure their spots for the opening home games.

    But Navi isn’t stopping at just ticket perks. Cricket fever’s gone digital with Powerplay, Navi’s first-ever user contest, now live on its Android app. With each UPI payment, users unlock digital player cards and collect a full team of 11 unique players and you could win 2,000 Navi coins or RCB memorabilia signed by the stars themselves. Got five of the same player? That’s an instant 100 bonus coins in the bag.

    Navi Technologies CEO Rajiv Naresh said, “We wanted to create something that makes everyday payments feel like a win. Navi Powerplay lets users have fun while they pay collecting player cards, earning rewards, and standing a chance to win RCB-signed memorabilia. We are excited to launch our first ever contest and look forward to enhancing contest-led strategies on Navi UPI in days to come.”

    As the IPL heats up, Navi UPI is giving fans more reasons to cheer combining cricket, collectibles, and cashless convenience in one winning pitch.

  • Dunkin’ business head Chitrank Goel calls it quits at Jubilant FoodWorks

    Dunkin’ business head Chitrank Goel calls it quits at Jubilant FoodWorks

    MUMBAI: In a surprise move, Jubilant FoodWorks has announced that Chitrank Goel, its  executive vice president and business head for Dunkin’, has tendered his resignation.

    The donut boss, who joined the company in September 2021, will hang up his apron on 15 April after a tenure of three years and seven months. Jubilant’s board will be look for his replacement “in due course,” according to the regulatory filing with the Bombay stock exchange.

    Goel’s departure comes at a critical juncture for the company as it continues expanding its portfolio beyond the flagship Domino’s Pizza brand. The executive was tasked with not only steering the Dunkin’ ship but also “incubating new brands.”

    Before joining the Jubilant family, Goel spent a whopping 14 years with consumer goods giant Unilever, where he cut his teeth across various markets. His last role there saw him heading the ice cream business unit in Poland and Baltics. 

    Industry insiders speculate that Goel’s extensive international experience and proven track record in scaling businesses might have attracted a juicier offer elsewhere. The resignation letter, dated 11 March, mentions he’s leaving “to take up an external opportunity” – corporate-speak for “found a better gig.”

    During his Unilever days, Goel boasted impressive achievements, including boosting growth rates from 7 per cent to 16 per cent in the out-of-home channel and unlocking “disproportionate growth” in quick commerce.
