Godrej Capital launches ‘Hum Samajhte Hain Business’ campaign
Mumbai: Godrej Capital, the financial services arm of the Godrej Industries Group, launched its new campaign ‘Hum Samajhte Hain Business’. In alignment with the group’s 127-year-old legacy of furthering nation-building and catering to the growing needs of India, the company offer loans tailored to the specific needs of business owners looking to grow and make progress in their business journey.
As part of the campaign, the brand has released a new digital film conceptualised by Publicis India. The storyline uses a cinematic lens to capture the bittersweet emotional journey of a business owner transitioning from a small shop to a larger and more successful venture, revealing a moment of triumph and growth.
With its loans for business, such as unsecured business loans, loan against property, and udyog loan against property, Godrej Capital reaffirms its offerings of tailor-made loan solutions for business owners who seek the flexibility of repayments and quick sanctions in their pursuit of business growth.
Godrej Capital CMO Nalin Jain said, “’Hum Samajhte Hain Business’ reflects our deep understanding of building a business in India. We acknowledge both the emotional and practical aspects of the growth of a business, from navigating transitions to celebrating achievements. We are dedicated to providing business owners with flexibility and innovative products. Through customized loans for businesses from Godrej Capital, we empower entrepreneurs to exceed their own business expectations, providing the financial backing necessary for their success.”
Publicis India MD Oindrila Roy added, “In recent years, Publicis India has created iconic work for BFSI brands, and winning this account reaffirms our expertise. We are thrilled to leverage our skills to craft comprehensive strategies that will fortify Godrej Capital’s brand narrative. With the ‘Hum Samajhte Hain Business’ campaign, we aim to establish Godrej Capital as an empathetic lender who understands the challenges faced by MSME business owners. This campaign taps into the insight that businesses often do not grow as planned, regardless of the circumstances, and emphasizes that Godrej Capital truly understands their needs.”
The campaign will run across Google, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), YouTube, and Ad Networks, complemented by offline channels and several digital marketing routes. The film will be released in six languages—Marathi, Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada—ensuring wide accessibility in various regions and markets. The campaign aims to engage business owners, prospective borrowers, and industry representatives enhancing awareness and engagement across all serviceable locations.
In addition to this, an outdoor campaign has also been strategically aligned to maximize Godrej Capital’s reach and visibility among customers and DSAs alike. The outdoor outreach will cover transit media and OOH in eight languages across 28 markets, including Pune, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Ahmedabad, Surat, Indore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Rajkot, Baroda, Vapi, Salem, Vellore, Vijayawada, Vizag, Mangalore, Mysore, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Jodhpur, Alwar, and Udaipur.
With its focus on growth and flexibility for businesses, Godrej Capital is focusing on developing and providing financial access for MSMEs. The aim is to contribute towards the entrepreneurial development of the MSME sector in India, ultimately contributing to the economy’s growth and nation-building.
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.
