GM Modular launches new ad film for DADTESTED campaign
Mumbai: GM Modular, a leading manufacturer of fast-moving electric goods, has unveiled a riveting video as part of the #DADTESTED campaign featuring father-daughter duo Suniel Shetty and Athiya Shetty. The campaign showcases a wide range of vibrant switch plates in an array of compelling colours.
The video features Suniel Shetty and Athiya Shetty, where Athiya is seen flaunting the wall colour switches, exhibiting how the switch plates match seamlessly with the walls of their home and accentuating their interiors with a pop of colours with GM’s exquisite range of designs.
Also, Suniel Shetty adds a vibe of playfulness to the campaign video by donning the same colour ensemble similar to the aesthetic switch plates, indicating that there is a switch plate to match and enhance the looks of all kinds of interior spaces and can blend in seamlessly with various design themes.
Through this campaign, GM Modular aims to convey the message that selecting the right wall colour switches goes beyond just circuit functionality; nowadays, it’s more about a combination of practicality and style to add your unique essence and element of memory to your space. With easy customization options available, discerning customers can customize switch plates effortlessly.
Commenting on the same, GM Modular CEO Jayanth Jain stated, “We are stoked to launch this lively campaign as an addition to the #DADTESTED campaign with Suniel Shetty and Athiya Shetty showcasing our new range of colour switch plates that caters to all generations, no matter genz, millennials and so on. The powerhouse father-daughter duo’s congenial bond is quite evident in the video, and it effortlessly captures how both of them have stark differences in terms of life experiences, but even the generation gap is not coming in between their aesthetic preferences, as there is a switch plate to match and enhance the look of all kinds of interior spaces.
GM’s switch plates give homeowners a spectrum of colour options when upgrading walls and switches in any area. The colourful switch plates allow one to make a style statement instead of having switches blend into the background.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
