    Fintech’s new sheriff: Shishir Kataria to spin Mobikwik’s marketing magic as AVP

    MUMBAI: Ever tried convincing your grandad to ditch cash for a flashy QR code? Imagine doing that for millions. Enter Shishir Kataria—the man who turned fashionistas into Tata Cliq loyalists and made cricket fans binge-watch IPL as if their lives depended on it. Kataria has swapped runway trends for digital wallets, joining Mobikwik as AVP of marketing, because, hey, why not make finance fun?

    “Excited to start my journey as AVP, Marketing at Mobikwik,” said Kataria. “Fintech in India has evolved rapidly, transforming the way we transact, save, and invest. As digital payments and financial inclusion accelerate, I look forward to be a part of this journey.”

    At Mobikwik, Kataria now oversees brand, social, content, design, and creative operations. Before diving headfirst into fintech, he dazzled at Tata CLiQ, masterminding the rebranding to ‘Tata Cliq Fashion’, making Gen Z’s heart skip a beat. His strategies boosted customer acquisition and squeezed costs tighter than a budget traveller in Mumbai.

    Previously at Disney+ Hotstar, he combined cricket and entertainment, launching hits like Hotstar Dosts during IPL 2021, resulting in a whopping 30 per cent subscription spike. At Disney Star, he made IPL even bigger, drawing a record-smashing 462 million TV viewers in 2019. How’s that for knocking it out of the park?

    Kataria’s marketing prowess doesn’t stop there. He once convinced parents across India that Complan Nutrigro could turn kids into geniuses and led sales teams in Tamil Nadu with more gusto than Rajinikanth fans on premiere day.

    Can Kataria now convince a billion people to swipe more, tap less, and never see their physical wallets again? Knowing his record, it seems he’ll be laughing all the way to the digital bank.
