Radico keep spirits high with soulful marketing initiative
NEW DELHI: This year, when the world’s movement and celebrations are restricted, Radico has taken up the task to not allow the pandemic to affect the spirit of our people. Continuing its momentum to keep the consumers’ spirit high, Radico Khaitan has come up with another power-packed initiative for India’s 74th Independence Day. The company has launched a gratitude song- “Shukriya” under the banner of The Spirit of Victory in the honour of the courageous Indian Army on the eve of August 15. Through the song, Radico Khaitan pays tribute to the Army for their immense sacrifice throughout and protecting the motherland without fearing for their own lives. The song is written and sung by our friend and versatile musical artist Padamjeet Sehrawat.
The brand had earlier associated with programmes like Tales of Valour and Avadh Festival to pay tribute to martyrs and also honor soldiers for their selfless deed in protecting the country. Tales of Valour is a series of authoritative factual documentaries that depict the 10 most valiant stories of bravery.
Radico Khaitan COO Amar Sinha said, “The army plays a vital role in protecting the borders of the country and ensuring all the citizens are safe at all times. Even during tough times as the pandemic, the army is fighting tirelessly to protect our country. Launching this song is a small effort in the direction of saluting their bravery and devotion towards the country”.
He further added, “Radico Khaitan has always been at the forefront to cater to this segment of the society. Be it creating a product dedicated to the fighters of the 1965 war that exclusively caters to the armed forces or contributing to the upliftment of the martyrs’ families, it is our commitment to keep the protectors of our country in the focus of our endeavours.”
With this association, Radico Khaitan is also taking forward the tradition of celebrating art, culture, and literature in the country. The company’s focus on mindful marketing strategy leaps into the future with its associations with a social cause attached to it.
As the company has been outperforming the industry for the last four years, our objective of creating an inclusive and wholesome ecosystem comes true with such activities.

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.
