Birla Estates launches ‘Real Advice’ campaign with Vicky Kaushal
Mumbai: Birla Estates Pvt Ltd, the real estate arm of the Aditya Birla Group and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century Textiles and Industries Ltd has launched ‘Real Advice,’ a ground-breaking campaign that aims to raise awareness and educate Indian audiences on the real estate sector. The ‘Real Advice’ campaign by Birla Estates provides insights, information, and educates and empowers individuals to make informed decisions about real estate.
The campaign features a series of short films, a microsite, and digital content addressing common real estate challenges and questions many people encounter. Films featuring Vicky Kaushal make real estate easy and simple for a wide audience. From demystifying real estate jargon to highlighting nuances of property evaluation, this campaign offers practical advice for anyone interested in the real estate market.
The content covers the home buying process, real estate terminologies, insights on interiors, and more. With this campaign, Birla Estates aims to empower viewers with knowledge while also promoting greater understanding and clarity within the real estate space. Through ‘Real Advice,’ Birla Estates is setting a new standard for consumer education in real estate, making the journey clearer and more informed for all.
Birla Estates MD & CEO K T Jithendran stated, “At Birla Estates, our core values are built on a customer-first approach, where transparency, trust, and integrity are paramount. This campaign reflects our commitment to these principles, aiming to empower our customers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. As the real estate sector continues to thrive, with more and more people investing in their dream homes, initiatives like ‘Real Advice with Vicky Kaushal’ play a crucial role in ensuring that buyers feel well-supported and informed throughout their journey.”
Birla Estates marketing head Anitha Krishnan added, “The intent of the ‘Real Advice’ campaign is to empower the consumer with knowledge and information. We aim to achieve this through a holistic approach using microsites with blogs, podcasts, chatbots, as well as the films. We’ve created a seamless ecosystem where real estate knowledge is always within reach, and we intend to keep evolving this. This initiative not only reflects our customer-first approach but also introduces a fresh way to engage with the evolving world of real estate.”
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.
