Volini gets a #PatOnTheBack from Lintas
MUMBAI: We as children have been our parents’ top priority, sometimes even at the cost of their well-being and happiness. While the pain they took mostly remains hidden from us, can we ever give back enough? We know, we can’t; but isn’t there joy in the attempt.
This is the premise of the new Volini #PatOnTheBack campaign. It urges us to reflect on whether we are doing enough to give back to our parents. At times, we are so caught up in our own lives, that our elderly parents’ needs are overlooked. This film celebrates the small ways in which children can give back to their parents. Just being there means the world to every parent. Volini helps in overcoming pain to create magical memories.
Commenting on the campaign, Vidhi Salgoacar, Head of Sun Pharma Consumer Healthcare said, “Overcoming pain to create beautiful moments in life is what Volini stands for. This campaign is one of Volini’s many initiatives to reach out to the evolving audience who have endorsed and trusted Volini and made it the No. 1 Pain Relief Brand1 of the country.”
Overcoming pain to create beautiful moments in life is what Volini is all about. Pain should never stand a chance when we are doing things that we want to. Volini stands by every son/daughter who takes the pain to reach out to their parents, especially when they need them the most. Volini supports all those who overcome pain and do something good.
The film begins with a young man rushing through the busy streets of a bustling city. As he navigates through the crowded streets, he accidently twists his ankle and is seen to be in immense pain, but he refuses to give up. He limps onwards towards his final destination which is the finish line of a marathon. He attempts to look at the finish line through the crowds, when suddenly we see an elderly man crossing the finishing line. The young man runs, despite his injury to embrace his elderly father and celebrate this momentous occasion together. The film turns full circle with the elderly man realizing that his son is in pain, and offering him Volini for pain relief. The film ends with ‘Every child who takes the pain to be there for their parent deserves a pat on the back’. It makes us wonder ‘where are we’, when those moments pass by. And Volini as a brand has always stood for being a loyal partner in times of pain.
Highlighting the creative thought process behind the campaign, Joy Mohanty, Regional President – North & East, Lowe Lintas said, “We felt there was an interesting space around children who go the extra mile for their parents, those who take the pain to be part of their important moments. And the brand celebrates those that are committed to this.”

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.
