Aisshpra Gems & Jewels rolls out new campaign with Yami Gautam
Mumbai: Uttar Pradesh-based Aisshpra Gems & Jewels has rolled out a new advertising campaign titled “Main Pratha Bhi Hoon, Main Pragati Bhi,” representing the progressive Indian woman of today. The brand roped in Bollywood actor Yami Gautam Dhar as its new brand ambassador. The campaign is being launched across social media and with outdoor campaigns.
The campaign showcases Yami in an elegant look where she is adorned with Aisshpra’s iconic polki necklace sets from its ‘Nazakat’ collection and diamond sets in ‘Enchante’ collection.
On the one hand, the actress represents the progressive Indian woman who is well educated, broad-minded, and independent; on the other hand, she is rooted in her culture and proud of her traditions.
The partnership aims to promote the idea that a modern yet traditional woman is the future. A woman who is connected to her roots and culture, along with being educated, outgoing, and progressive, has the capability to change the world for the better. Yami will be seen in all the promotional collaterals of “Main Pratha Bhi Hoon, Main Pragati Bhi” till next year.
Speaking about her association with the brand, Gautam said, “When I heard the concept of “Main Pragati Bhi hoon, Main Pratha Bhi,” I was instantly convinced that I wanted to be a part of this initiative. A very simple campaign with a powerful tagline is going to inspire and empower a lot of women in our country. I am delighted to be associated with the initiative of Aisshpra.”
Sharing the thought behind the campaign, Aisshpra Gems & Jewels director Vaibhav Saraf said, “We believe that it is our duty to empower our community in whatever way it is possible, and therefore we try to incorporate a social message or call for action in all our initiatives. This ad campaign was very unique as when we were ideating, we wanted to create something that empowered the women around us but did not have a preachy sound, and that’s how “Main Pragati Bhi hoon, Main Pratha Bhi” was conceived. We were lucky that we could cast Yami Gautam Dhar for the same, as we knew that she would be able to effortlessly play this role for us in this campaign.”

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks
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.
