Blue Tribe unveils its latest ad campaign
Mumbai: Blue Tribe, a plant-based food innovation brand, has launched a new ad campaign featuring Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli. The couple, known for their commitment to sustainability, represents Blue Tribe’s goal of mainstreaming plant-based eating.
The campaign promotes the benefits of plant-based options, focusing on the brand’s latest product — no maida Soya Chaap. Made from soy flour and wheat flour, this ready-to-eat product offers a protein source that can be used in various Indian dishes like curries, biryanis, and kebabs. After six months of trials, Blue Tribe has introduced flavors such as achari, tandoori, and afghani, which are precooked and can be quickly heated in a microwave.
The ad highlights Blue Tribe’s dedication to offering tasty, nutritious, and eco-friendly plant-based alternatives.
Speaking about the campaign, Virat Kohli shared, “We are thrilled to present this plant-based food innovation that helps bring a crowd favourite like soya chaap in a high protein, hygienic form that is also affordable and convenient.”
Anushka Sharma added, “We are happy to see Blue Tribe begin this new chapter where they have come up with tasty and familiar plant-based products like soya chaap with better nutritional profiles and in affordable and convenient packs.”
Blue Tribe founder Sandeep Singh said, “We are thrilled to launch Soya Chaap, we have already started getting positive response to these products which underscores the market’s need for a trustworthy and hygienic alternative.”
The campaign has been rolled out across multiple platforms, including YouTube ads and social media, on 27 August, 2024.
With this campaign, Blue Tribe aims to reach a wider audience and reinforce its position as a leader in the plant-based food industry.
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.
