Bikano positions itself as ‘bhujia specialist’ in new campaign
Mumbai: Snacks and packaged foods brand Bikano has launched a new campaign ‘Hum Se Behtar Bhujia Ko Jaane Kaun’ to strengthen its position in the market as ‘bhujia specialist’. The brand had recently launched a new product variant – ‘Aloo Bhujia Lemon Chaska’ – to expand the portfolio and to differentiate its products in the bhujia category.
The namkeen and snacks market in India is valued at about Rs 35,000 crore and over the recent past, it has been witnessing healthy growth. The increased sale of traditional snacks like bhujia, sev, and mixtures has significantly contributed to the industry’s expansion. Capitalising on the same, Bikano’s objective is to penetrate the market further by foraying into newer distribution channels and strengthening their existing channels of distribution, said the brand in a statement.
“Leveraging this authenticity of original Bikaneri bhujia, we are aiming to expand the realm of our offerings by channeling energies towards entering newer sales and distribution channels,” said Bikano director, Manish Aggarwal. “We will also be maximising the potential of digital and other relevant promotional mediums to ensure seamless presence and capture market share. Bhujia is one of the products which have been part of Bikano’s culinary legacy since the beginning. The market share of the Bhujia & Sev category is 25 per cent of the traditional snacks market in India and we are expecting a considerable sales surge in this category,” he added.
Aggarwal further said that the product also sees robust demand from several international markets such as the US, Canada, Europe, Gulf countries, Australia and New Zealand.
“At Bikano, we imbibe the spirit of Bikaner that reflects the true taste of Indian culture. Crunchy, rich tangy flavours merged with spices make our Bikaneri and Aloo Bhujia a mouth-watering snack,” said Bikano, head of marketing, Dawinder Pal. “With the tagline –‘Humse Behtar Bhujia ko Jaane Kaun’, we want to establish Bikano’s authority in bhujia manufacturing and take the position as Bhujia specialists in the market.”
“The campaign will be rolled out across channels including ATL and BTL. Aloo Bhujia and Bikaneri Bhujia are among the substantial contributors in the namkeen segment for us. Also, looking at the current situation, we as a brand are solely focused on value creation that will help us thrive in the market,” he added.
Bikano said it has stocked Bikaneri bhujia and aloo bhujia across the company’s general and modern trade network. These products are available in a various range of packaging and price points.
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.
