Bajaj Electricals unveils its revamped brand positioning
Mumbai: Bajaj Electricals has unveiled its latest brand positioning, “Bajaj: Built For Life.” This is a large-scale transformation campaign for the brand backed by consumer insights, innovation, and robust research and development capabilities to offer a strong product portfolio to enhance the customer experience.
The pan-India multimedia campaign “Built For Life” will be leveraged across TV, print, digital & in-store. The brand’s creative agency McCann Worldgroup India has worked on the film.
The brand has released a film encapsulating its brand promise that complements the lives of its modern-day consumers.
Bajaj takes pride in being in tune with consumers’ changing tastes and preferences and invests in R&D that helps translate needs gaps into products. Consumer insights highlight that today’s consumers are aspirers who have the ability to endure, be resilient, and consistently perform to take on life’s challenges that matter most. Their time-constrained lifestyle must be ably supported by home appliances that perform seamlessly without glitches or inefficiencies. Bajaj’s new product portfolio and brand positioning are inspired by the Indian consumers’ spirit to endure, not give up, persevere, and keep performing. Additionally, the brand’s category-wise, in-depth research highlighted multiple consumer pain points in each category, which have been addressed by considerable investments in R&D and product design. Thus, the new positioning of Built For Life is a promise of durability, and their resultant portfolio of home appliances is high-end, aesthetically pleasing, and low-maintenance.
At the launch of the campaign, Bajaj managing director and CEO Anuj Poddar said, “At Bajaj Electricals, our consumers are at the heart of our business. Our brand has always stood for trust — our consumers’ trust in our products and services for over 80 years. As we take this legacy forward, we are at the right juncture to take the Bajaj brand to the next level. This change has been introduced to create a sharp and unique positioning for the brand while offering a strong value proposition to our consumers. Our visual identity will be smarter and more contemporary across all touch points. At a strategic level, this establishes a focused platform that we will build upon with a range of product offerings over the coming months and years. We are truly excited about this, and I am sure this sets the stage for driving our future growth.”
Adding to it, McCann Worldgroup executive chairman and regional ED AP Prasoon Joshi said, “Bajaj as a brand name has been synonymous with the quality of dependability for decades, with cross-generational trust at its core. However, that is only the starting point, as the trajectory is that of innovation in sync with changing customer needs. The new brand identity underscores the powerful brand idea of tenacity and resilience, which are required to evolve and build in life.”
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.
