36% more active digital display ads this month
MUMBAI: There were 36 per cent more active digital display ads in the month of August as compared to July. The whole world is going digital and so is digital advertising with advertisers vying hard to capture quality publishers. In turn, there are a lot more publishers competing for marketers too. And both sides are constantly looking at new tech and services to grab a larger piece of pie from the competition.
Adby Ventures, an opportunity consulting company, along with BiScience presents the tools to beat the competition at its own game with its competitive media buying intelligence services. The comparison is between July data and August. Adby has seen a surge of new advertisers coming on to the digital display ad world in this month.
Adby Ventures co-founder Vivek Singh says, “Like in the field of sports, having a hold on your competition’s strategy helps you win the game. On the other hand, an inside-out view limits your vision. I’ve spent hundreds of crores on marketing but all the available analytics couldn’t give me an idea of the unseen possibilities. At Adby, we’re empowering marketers by bringing in those competitive insights.”
“BiScience acknowledges the potential of the Indian market by deploying the best digital ad intelligence platform to cover the Indian market, and partnering with Adby Ventures to provide valuable BI to the great businesses in India,” says BiScience chief revenue officer Shai Etzion.
The company is already working with HDFC Life, HT Media, RummyCircle, Jagran, MoneyControl, JungleeGames, Vodafone, Maxus, Mindshare/GroupM, Angelbroking, FirstPost, News18, Birla Sunlife, Marks&Spencer, LogicServe and more their offices in Bangalore and Gurgaon.

List to spotlight 100 emerging leaders, gala set for December 2026 in Mumbai.
MUMBAI: It’s about time India’s next wave got a global spotlight and now, it’s on the list. New York-headquartered Time is expanding its TIME100 Next franchise to India, partnering with Reliance Industries Limited to launch TIME100 Next India, its first international extension of the rising leaders platform. The announcement was made at the Time100 Gala in New York by Jessica Sibley and Nita Mukesh Ambani, signalling a strategic push to tap into India’s growing influence across sectors.
The India edition will recognise 100 emerging leaders from the country and the global Indian diaspora, spanning business, science, sports, arts and social impact. The list will be curated by Time’s editorial team and published online, continuing the franchise’s focus on identifying individuals shaping the future.
The initiative will culminate in a gala event scheduled for December 2026 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, anchoring the platform within India’s cultural and business ecosystem.
TIME’s broader Time100 franchise has steadily expanded its global footprint since 2021 through events and impact-led initiatives. Executives noted that India’s growing pool of influential voices and innovators made it a natural next step for the platform’s international ambitions.
For Reliance, the partnership aligns with its broader push to support emerging talent and ideas on a global stage. For Time, it marks a timely bet on India not just as a market, but as a talent engine shaping the next chapter of global leadership.
