Titan unveils Mumbai billboard for its Stellar collection
Mumbai: Titan has launched a 40ft x 40ft billboard in Mumbai to showcase its new ‘Titan Stellar’ collection. The installation features a motorised moon display that mirrors the lunar phases, reflecting the precision and celestial theme of the Stellar timepieces. Strategically placed in a high-traffic area, the billboard blends innovative design with technology, creating an immersive brand experience.
Neon acrylic pins and backlit elements add a radiant, futuristic look, while the moon’s glow intensifies at night, enhancing the cosmic theme. This project demonstrates how technology and creative design can elevate outdoor advertising.
Titan Watches marketing head Aparna Ravi said, “The Titan Stellar collection is an ode to the beauty and precision of celestial movements, and we sought an innovative way to bring that to life. Our collaboration with Laqshya Media Group has resulted in a creative billboard featuring a motorized moon display and advanced neon lighting, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and innovation that define the Stellar collection. Our aim was to create an engaging experience that mirrors the inspiration of our watches, and we hope it leaves a lasting impression on all who experience it.”
Laqshya Media COO Amarjeet Singh Hudda said, “At Laqshya Media Group, we believe in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in outdoor advertising. This innovative billboard installation showcases the precision and beauty of Titan Stellar collection and marks a significant leap in how brands can engage audiences in the outdoor space. We’re proud to have created a visual experience that’s as dynamic and timeless as the watches themselves, and this campaign showcases the future of interactive, immersive advertising.”

Abhay Duggal joins JioStar as director of Hindi GEC ad sales
The streaming giant brings in a seasoned revenue hand as the battle for Hindi television advertising heats up
MUMBAI: Abhay Duggal has a new desk, and JioStar has a new weapon. The media and entertainment veteran has joined JioStar as director of entertainment ad sales for Hindi general entertainment channels, adding 17 years of hard-won revenue experience to one of India’s most powerful broadcasting operations.
Duggal is no stranger to big portfolios or bruising markets. Before joining JioStar, he spent a brief stint at Republic World as deputy general manager and north regional head for ad sales. Before that, he put in three years at Enterr10 Television, where he ran the north region for Dangal TV and Dangal 2, two of India’s leading free-to-air Hindi channels. The north alone accounted for more than 50 per cent of total channel revenue on his watch, a number that tends to get attention in any sales meeting.
His longest stint was at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, where he spent over six years rising to associate director of sales. There he commanded the Hindi movies cluster across seven channels, owned more than half of north India’s revenue across flagship properties including Zee TV and &TV, and closed marquee sponsorships across the Indian Premier League, Zee Rishtey Awards and Dance India Dance. He also handled monetisation for the English movies and entertainment cluster and the global news channel WION, a portfolio that would stretch most sales teams twice his size.
Earlier in his career Duggal closed what was then a Rs 3 crore single deal at Reliance Broadcast Network, one of the largest in Indian radio at the time, before that he helped launch and monetise JAINHITS, India’s first HITS-based cable and satellite platform.
His edge, by his own account, lies in marrying data and instinct: translating audience trends, inventory signals and client demands into long-term partnerships built on cost-per-rating-point discipline rather than short-term deal chasing. In a media landscape being reshaped by streaming, fragmented attention and AI-driven advertising, that kind of rigour is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
JioStar, which blends the scale of Reliance’s Jio platform with the content firepower of Star, is doubling down on its advertising business at precisely the moment the Hindi GEC market is getting more competitive. Bringing in someone who has spent nearly two decades doing exactly this, across some of India’s most watched channels, is a pointed statement of intent. Duggal has spent his career turning audiences into revenue. JioStar is clearly betting he can do it again, and bigger.
