Bold & Seoul’d: All eyes on Lenskart’s brand new K-Pop collection
Mumbai : As the Korean wave continues to captivate the globe, Lenskart has forayed into the K-Pop world with its newest launch—the K-Pop collection by Lenskart Studio. Lenskart Studio aims to seamlessly merge fashion and eyewear without constraints and they have done so with their newest eyewear collection. The K-Pop collection allows you to frame your fandom with luxury acetate eyeglasses that flaunt color-blocked rims and sunglasses that come in pop shades and super slim shapes.
While the eyewear from this collection steals the show, Lenskart also mesmerizes India with the innovative launch campaign of this collection, one that blends the captivating world of K-Pop with cutting-edge AI technology. Introducing an industry-first collection campaign, Lenskart presents us the visionary world of Astro IRIS – a virtual K-POP band, developed entirely through artificial intelligence.
Each star in the four-member band has been imagined through a detailed character sketch that brings their personality and preferred eyewear style to life. The campaign focuses on showcasing the launch of the collection as band members take the audience on a journey celebrating the unparalleled phenomenon of K-Pop.
The K-Pop collection aims to mark a significant milestone for Lenskart in its steadfast commitment to emphasize the relevance of eyewear across different sub cultures. It showcases the brand’s ability to adapt and flourish in a rapidly changing market-landscape.
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.
