Bisleri forays into hygiene segment with new TVC
Mumbai: Bottled drinking water brand Bisleri has announced its foray into the personal hygiene segment. The company launched a new TVC for its new range of hand purifiers, with the tagline – ‘For the love of hands’, and became the latest entrant in the hand sanitisers market, a segment which has witnessed an upsurge in demand since the onset of the pandemic.
With the frequent use of regular sanitisers, consumers experience adverse effects on the skin, like coarseness and dryness. The TVC aims to portray how Bisleri’s new range of hand purifiers that are enriched with aloe vera, glycerol, and vitamin E, can keep the skin moisturised and nourished while ensuring protection from germs.
The film’s visuals effectively drive across the message in a simple yet engaging manner that Bisleri Hand Purifiers not only provide safety to the hands but also keeps them soft, fragrant, and refreshing. In addition to the TVC, the company also has plans to roll out digital campaigns on social media and OTT platforms for the new product range.
Bisleri chief executive officer Angelo George said, “There has been exciting growth in the personal hygiene segment triggered by increasing health and hygiene concerns. We developed Bisleri hand purifiers with these enhanced features in premium packaging, to provide a superior experience. With our distribution reach across the country, the exciting range of Bisleri hand purifiers is available at leading general trade stores, pharmacies, and modern trade outlets as well as e-commerce platforms.”
The skin-nourishing formulation, packaging design, and fragrances were developed under the guidance of Bisleri vice-chairperson Jayanti Chauhan. Bisleri’s range of hand purifiers is available in three refreshing fragrances- citrus, fresh & floral in both gel and spray formats, the company said.
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.
