Tata Capital launches ‘Khoobsurat Chinta’ campaign with Shubman Gill
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.”
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.
