Aristocrat’s new ad with Rohit Sharma
MUMBAI: Aristocrat, from the house of V.I.P Industries, has released its TVC in the ‘Unpack Your Dreams’ campaign. The TVC starring Indian ace cricketer Rohit Sharma seeks to encourage individuals to follow and achieve their dreams while Aristocrat helps safeguard them.
The TVC lays emphasis on the fact that Aristocrat will always be there to assist you in your journey of chasing and achieving your dreams, given its durability and quality. It highlights how the bag, in spite of going through immense adverse conditions, safeguards Rohit Sharma’s trophy.
Aristocrat brand ambassador Sharma says, “For me, durability and toughness are very important features while buying any product. Being a perfect blend of long-lasting durability and style, Aristocrat is my first choice. It truly matches my vibrant personality. I must say that I really relate to Aristocrat’s philosophy of ‘Unpack Your Dreams’. All of us dream of achieving something great in our lives but very few of us live the dream… Ever since I was a young kid it was my dream to play cricket for the country. Now when I look back, I know that it wouldn’t have been possible had I not given it my all. It was only through self-discipline and practice that I managed to achieve this.”
Speaking about the brand ideology, V.I.P Industries Sudip Ghose CEO adds, “We have seen a growth in the demand for Aristocrat products over the last year and have also witnessed a surge in sales online. With Aristocrat, we wish to provide our consumers with an exceptionally durable and extremely spacious collection that offers great value for money. We believe our new brand ideology and ambassadors resonates with our target audience who are ambitious and working hard to achieve their dreams.”
The TVC will go live across multiple platforms including all social media platforms of Aristocrat. The products are available across all leading VIP World outlets, multi-brand stores, hypermarkets, E-commerce sites and can be purchased on the brand’s website.
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.
