Shamsuddin, Desai Jasani and Menon blur the lines with launch of AI-native marketing outfit, Theblurr
MUMBAI: Three heavy-hitters from India’s advertising hall of fame—Shamsuddin Jasani, Aatsi Desai Jasani and Gopa Kumar Menon—have teamed up to launch Theblurr, a full-service, AI-native marketing company that promises not just smart outputs, but smarter outcomes.
At a time when brands are swimming in data but gasping for insight, Theblurr aims to rewire marketing for the machine age without losing its human touch. Its calling card? A proprietary ‘HumAIne’ approach that blends machine intelligence with gut instinct—and doesn’t treat AI like the office intern.
“Marketing today is no longer just about reach or impressions. It’s about real, measurable outcomes—growth, impact, and resonance,” said Shamsuddin Jasani, who serves as Co-founder & CEO of Theblurr. “We have built Theblurr to be a true growth partner, combining full-funnel capabilities with AI-first thinking to create work that truly delivers. We wanted to create something truly aligned with what modern marketing needs. Theblurr is that vision realized—a full-service, AI-native partner built to deliver brilliant outputs and smarter outcomes. We’re here to help brands move faster, think sharper, and achieve results that matter” he added.
Theblurr is built around what the founders call full-funnel firepower—creative ideas that are media-aware from day one, and media strategies driven by experience, not guesswork. Silo-smashing is not a side project—it’s the operating model.
Gopa Kumar Menon further added, “At Theblurr, we’re building an agency with passionate people that merges human creativity with AI intelligence. Our HumAIne process, breaks down silos between creative and media teams, it’s the operational backbone that seamlessly integrates our creative and media solutions —every creative idea is media-aware from day one, and every media investment is experience-driven. We’re excited to combine the craft we love with AI that makes it more powerful driven by people who are passionate about making it all work.”
“At the heart of every great brand story is a deep understanding of people—our clients and their customers. At Theblurr, we don’t just chase KPIs; we champion our clients’ ambitions. Every solution we craft is rooted in empathy, creativity, and the drive to create something truly meaningful together” concluded Aatsi Desai Jasani.
Together, the trio brings over 60 years of experience and a track record for building agencies that don’t just pitch—they perform. Theblurr’s culture is underpinned by values that spell out its name: Boldness, Learning, Unity, Responsibility and Resonance. (Yes, that’s not a coincidence.)
As marketers everywhere look for speed, precision and measurable impact, Theblurr promises to be more than just another digital shop—it wants to be the growth partner of choice in a world of vanishing attention spans and rising expectations.
And if their launch is any clue, the future of marketing just got a little blurrier—and a lot sharper.

Dinshaw’s launches 3x chocolate cone with ‘Dildaari’ campaign
Vinod Kambli fronts summer push built around richer final bite.
MUMBAI: The sweetest part of an ice cream may no longer be the first lick, it is now the last word. Dinshaw’s is rewriting the rules of cone indulgence with its new ‘Dildaari’ campaign, built around a simple twist: three times more solid chocolate at the tip.
At the centre of the launch is a familiar consumer truth, the final bite of a cone is often the most anticipated. Dinshaw’s is leaning into that moment, turning it into the hero by amplifying the chocolate layer at the bottom, effectively repositioning the end of the cone as the highlight of the experience.
The campaign is fronted by former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, whose personal journey lends an emotional undertone to the storytelling. Built around the line “Jinko life mein thoda kam mila, unke liye thoda zyada”, the narrative blends nostalgia with generosity, framing the product upgrade as more than just a feature, it is a gesture.
Timed for peak summer and the ongoing cricket season, the campaign taps into moments of heightened consumption and sentiment, where small indulgences carry outsized emotional value.
The new range features nine flavours Badam Roasted, Butterscotch, Caramel Dolce, Choco Chip, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Ganache, Cookies n Cream, Mississippi Dark and Mocha Black and White each designed to complement the enhanced chocolate finish.
Conceptualised by Womb, the campaign pivots away from functional messaging to a more human insight: that sometimes, the smallest additions can make the biggest difference.
As brands continue to hunt for differentiation in a crowded category, Dinshaw’s bet is clear, if you cannot change the whole cone, make the last bite unforgettable.
