    Shibashish Roy takes the reins at electronics retailer Croma

    MUMBAI: Shibashish Roy has taken over as chief executive & managing director of Infiniti Retail Ltd (Croma), India’s electronics retail powerhouse, effective 1 April 2025. The Tata Group has opted for a company man to mind the shop after the departure of founding member Avijit Mitra.

    Roy, a Tata Administrative Services (TAS) officer with over 20 years of group experience, has been quietly climbing the corporate ladder since joining as a project trainee at Tata Steel in 2003. His circuitous route to the top job included stints at Voltas, Tata Motors, and a six-year stretch at Tata Capital where he cut his teeth in wealth management and investment banking.

    The digital-savvy executive spent seven years at Tata Sons, including time in the chairman’s office, before joining Croma in 2021. Since then, he’s been on a rapid ascent—chief business officer to chief operating officer to deputy chief executive and now to the corner office—in what appears to be a meticulously planned succession.

    Outgoing boss Mitra, who retires after 35 years with the Tata Group, leaves behind sizeable shoes to fill. Under his stewardship, Croma expanded from a fledgling electronics retailer to a behemoth with over 560 stores across India.

    Mumbai: Tata Capital, the flagship financial services company of the Tata Group unveiled a new campaign featuring their brand ambassador Shubman Gill. The campaign is based on the insight that financial worries often take centre stage and customers get less time to focus on and enjoy the meaningful and important moments in their lives. The campaign urges customers to rely on Tata Capital to take care of all their financial worries and focus on more meaningful things (what they call ‘Khoobsurat Chinta’). The campaign will bring to life the brands’ purpose of being a responsible financial partner fulfilling India’s aspirations.

    The campaign is comprised of five films, a key brand film and four shorter product films. The brand film is a metaphor of Shubman’s own journey where his father took care of all his needs, allowing him to focus on his own ‘Khoobsurat Chinta’– his dream of playing for the Indian cricket team. The emotionally charged campaign unfolds through a touching narrative, highlighting Shubman’s achievements and his father’s role as an enabler in guiding him on the road to success. It draws parallels to Tata Capital’s role as an enabler in helping its customers achieve their dreams and aspirations. Shubman’s journey in the world of cricket also mirrors Tata Capital’s journey of growth in the financial services sector, which is driven by passion, skill, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

    In addition, the set of four short product films (two-wheeler loan, home loan, personal loan & business loan) are themed around getting instant loans through a seamless process from Tata Capital. These films also ride on the same theme of allowing customers to focus on ‘Khoobsurat Chinta’ by enabling loans easily. The campaign will run over a period of 5 to 6 weeks and will be visible across TV, OOH, print, social media and other digital platforms.

    Speaking about the campaign, Tata Capital chief operating officer- digital and marketing Abonty Banerjee, said, “The essence of the campaign thought is to portray Tata Capital as an enabler in the financial journey of our customers, while allowing them to focus on life’s beautiful moments. Khoobsurat chinta are those beautiful ‘worries’ which we enjoy thinking about, such as the colours of a new home or the venue for a wedding. The campaign uses Shubman’s life story as a metaphor of how one can focus on the more meaningful things in life when financial worries are taken away.”

  • TATA Capital urges millennials to make 2020 their year of financial responsibility

    TATA Capital urges millennials to make 2020 their year of financial responsibility

    MUMBAI: As an extension to its brand campaign #CountOnUs, Tata Capital, the financial services arm of the Tata Group has launched a video campaign urging Millennial and GenZ India to make the most of 2020. The campaign consists of a video conceived around the idea that there are 11 more months for young India to achieve their financial goals and they can count on Tata Capital for the same. 

    The video will be promoted on Social Media platforms – Facebook and Instagram as well as YouTube from 23 January 2020 and will run for a period of 10 days.

    The idea of the video is based on a research on millennial and GenZ behavior. This target group talks about making it ‘their’ year but give into their cravings of instant gratification and non- essential spending. The video-based on time travel and shows a seemingly laid back young boy talking to his future self about how because of his attitude of just saying ‘that this year is going to be my year’ and not actually acting on it, even 30 years later he is not able to establish a settled life for himself or have a concrete financial plan.

    Commenting on the new video, Tata Capital chief marketing and digital officer Abonty Banerjee said, “Through an extensive study of Millennial and GenZ consumers between the age group of 18-35, the insight was that this enthusiastic lot of people start a new year with great vigor, and as reality kicks in, concepts of ‘you only live once’, and wish for instant gratification shifts their focus from financial planning. Before the first month of the year is over, there is a feeling of “this is not my year but maybe next year can be mine” that is triggered. The video is a humorous take urging consumers to stop procrastinating and saying ‘2020 is not my year’ and that Tata Capital will facilitate their journey to financial independence.”

    The videos were ideated by creative agency Kinnect and stars Nabeel Ahmed in the lead role of the laid back 26-year-old boy.
