Vdopia & BlueKai to enter into global agreement
MUMBAI: Vdopia announced that it has integrated with BlueKai data to provide Vdopia’s customers with advanced mobile video targeting on a global basis.
BlueKai mobile data will be integrated into Vdopia’s platform for mobile audience targeting, giving its advertisers’ access to 330 million unique mobile users (iOS and Android). Data from BlueKai, as well as other mobile targeting partners, will enrich Vdopia’s own data resulting in segment targeting abilities that are constantly refreshed to provide broad reach at scale.
Vdopia already offers mobile targeting based on context, device type, time, operating system, location, demographic information and audience behavior. The addition of BlueKai’s 3rd-party data provides additional targeting parameters to help brands reach their intended audiences with more impact and efficiency.
“Vdopia has always had the industry’s most comprehensive set of video creative units for mobile. The addition of BlueKai data sets will vault us into a global leadership position in targeting effectiveness,” said Vdopia chief business officer & co-founder Saurabh Bhatia.
“No other company offers the worldwide audience reach for mobile video advertising that we provide for our customers,” added Bhatia.
“In 2013, advertisers increased spending on mobile video advertising by 167 per cent and will increase spending by 81 per cent this year. With such a large investment in mobile video, advertisers must deploy the most advanced campaign targeting tools to maximise their ROI. With Vdopia and BlueKai together, they will get just that,” pointed out BlueKai vice president of mobile Jeff Frantz.
“Advanced mobile video targeting sharpens access of advertisers to the right audience while choosing the parameters that are most effective to their campaigns. Our association with BlueKai will help us elevate our cutting edge video advertising solutions in this fast growing segment,” mentioned Vdopia vice president – APAC Preetesh Chouhan.

JioHotstar and OpenAI partner to bring ChatGPT-powered personalised content to 500m Indian viewers
Fireside chat at AI Impact Summit 2026 highlights AI-driven content discovery and personalised storytelling
DELHI: At the AI Impact Summit 2026, a defining conversation unfolded between Uday Shankar, vice-chairman, JioStar, and Sam Altman, ceo and co-founder, OpenAI, spotlighting how AI is transforming creation, distribution and consumption of content.
The discussion coincided with Jiostar’s landmark announcement: a partnership between JioHotstar and OpenAI that will embed ChatGPT-powered conversational search and discovery into the platform. The move aims to deliver seamless, multilingual, deeply personalised experiences for India’s 500 million-plus viewers, fundamentally redefining how content is discovered and consumed.
“There’s a lot of noise about content overload. We see a different reality. In a country as diverse as India, there isn’t enough content that truly reflects its cultural and regional nuance. That’s the opportunity,” said Shankar. “Across content, commerce and consumer experience, this partnership lets us rethink the ecosystem. Technology now allows storytelling to move from static and broad to dynamic and deeply personalised, aligned to the unique tastes of every consumer. The future isn’t more content. It’s more relevant content.”
Altman added perspective on India’s AI momentum: “What feels different here is the energy. There is a clear sense of going all in on AI, not just as individual companies, but as a country. Safety has to be taken seriously. Ensuring that benefits are widely distributed has to be taken seriously. But above all, the focus is on creating real value for companies and for people through the services we build. That is the balance driving this moment.”
The partnership signals a shared commitment to responsibly scale AI-powered experiences that deliver tangible business value while making a meaningful impact on consumers. By combining India-specific content nuance with OpenAI’s generative intelligence, Jiostar is betting on a future where discovery, engagement and relevance replace sheer volume—setting the stage for a new era in personalised entertainment.
