Big B launches campaign for Lux Inferno ahead of winter
MUMBAI: LUX Industries manufactures more than 300 products across 14 brands under its belt, such as Lux Venus, GenX, Lux Cozi, ONN, Lyra, Cott’swool, Inferno etc.
Now the company has announced its new range of Lux Inferno thermal wear collection. With winter just around the corner, keeping in mind the seasonal demand, Lux has reintroduced the brand Lux Inferno, endorsed by Bollywood legend, Amitabh Bachchan, in an all new avatar in the advertisement, where he takes selfies with the Eskimos.
Lux Industries is offering its customers with the entire range of Lux Inferno, crafted with double layer knit and warmth retaining fabric which soothes one’s body. The range is available for men, women and kids at an attractive price point. The body warmer comes in dark grey shade in long round neck top, as well as soft thermal trousers. Lux Inferno comes prepared with the body warmer designed as an undershirt and under pant. Lux Inferno provides an amazing and soft experience without any itching or irritation and as well as coming in various sizes from 75 – 100 for the customers.
Lux Industries senior vice president Udit Todi says, “Lux Inferno has earned the trust of the consumers over the years. Besides providing comfort from the chilly winters in North, West and Eastern India, it has a definite style factor which has been liked by all. We have worked on the material and made it more soft and light which makes it easy to wear undershirt or trousers. The thermal wear range from Lux Industries contributed 10 per cent last year to our overall sales and we foresee a lot of potential in this market segment this year as well.”
Lux Industries senior vice president Saket Todi adds, “Continuing the brand promise of comfort, style, quality and affordability we are confident that the entire winter wear range of Lux Inferno will strike a chord with our target audience and satisfy the consumers on these parameters. We are proud that a legendary actor and personality like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has agreed to endorse our products. This association will help us make further inroads in tier II and tier III towns which are a part of our strategy to maintain steady growth.”
The price range of men uppers and lowers starts from Rs 273, the range for women starts from Rs 255 and that for kids Rs 90 onwards. Besides retailers, the new range of Lux Inferno will be available on e-commerce platforms such as amazon.in and flipkart.com
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.
