The first film features Rajkummar Rao in a nerdy avatar giving us a lesson on saving the planet and our money, as Syska BLDC fans are powerful yet save 60 per cent energy!
The second film is relatable and engaging as it highlights the ease and convenience of using BLDC fans, which can be controlled via a remote.
The third film shares a quick tip on how to escape the scorching heat with Syska BLDC fans. They yield high performance and low power bills.
The films aim to connect with Indian audiences by showcasing the latest range of BLDC fans, which will enable consumers to decrease their carbon footprint while saving money on affordable, durable fans and lower electricity bills.

“It’s always a pleasure working on films for Syska and this was a particularly interesting launch for us to work on with Rajkummar Rao,” said By Design founder & chief creative officer Rahul Gupta. “We aimed to create relatable, bite-sized digital films to supplement the TVCs, all of which effectively conveyed the features of the BLDC fans.”

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.
