Asian Paints launches 2nd TVC for national campaign of ‘Royale Health Shield’
MUMBAI: Asian Paints for decades has been a partner for creating your beautiful dream home with exquisite walls and a luxurious finish. But now along with beauty, the brand also wants to keep your walls safe and healthy, with its state of the art Interior paint – Royale Health Shield, the Anti – Bacterial Paint. This is why once again, as a part of the national campaign for ‘Royale Health Shield’; Asian Paints has taken out its second TVC that encourages consumers to choose an anti-bacterial paint that cares for your health. Conceptualised by Contract India, the ad is directed by renowned director, Vivek Kakkad and stars the two brand ambassadors Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor.
Asian Paint’s Royale Health Shield is a revolutionary paint that combines hygiene and aesthetics to ensure a safe and beautiful home. You can see this significantly well in the ad film that highlights the importance of beautifying and protecting your house. The first TVC which was released for Royale Health Shield also featured the camaraderie between the bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor while bringing to the forefront the necessity of making your home safe and beautiful.
Speaking about the new ad campaign, Asian Paints Ltd COO Amit Syngle said, “Safety and hygiene has become a pressing matter today. People believe that the health of one’s home reflects one’s personal health and this is what makes Asian Paints “Royale Health Shield” a healthy choice for a concerned consumer. With Silver Ion Technology, as recommended by the Indian Medical Association* (IMA), Asian Paint’s Royale Health Shield not only ensures that walls are bacteria-free, but offers the finest looking walls ever. Our second TVC with our brand ambassadors brings to light this very message but in a friendly and casual way.”
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.
