BoroPlus launches fairness cream in India
MUMBAI: Indian society is at the cusp of a new beginning with more and more women having stories of grit and passion to reach their objectives by overcoming internal and external challenges. Breaking every stereotype, women in India are embracing unique professions and passions. They are the #IndiaKaNayaChehra. With such an active lifestyle, women are on the lookout for a face care product which is not for superficial beauty but that would nourish the skin from within.
Celebrating this new face, Emami, the Indian FMCG major, has launched a BoroPlus Healthy White fairness cream.
The television commercial has been directed by Kopal Naithani, one of the most promising women directors in the Indian ad business.
The film shows the face of today’s power women of India. This is a country where girls like Avani Chaturvedi ( the first Indian woman fighter plane pilot) or Riya Yadav (a second-year student becoming the youngest female rider to conquer Khardung La – the World’s Highest Motorable Pass in Ladakh). The television commercial champions this incredible spirit, depicted by the women pilot and biker, who march on to fulfil their ambition – uninhibited by the harsh environment around them. ‘She’ is not afraid of any obstacle coming in her way and overcomes all barriers to achieve her dreams.
Emami director Priti A Sureka says, “Today’s woman is #IndiaKaNayaChehra as she goes ahead in her pursuit to achieve her objective without worrying about external and internal aggressors. The existing beauty creams in the market offer solutions to your skin conditions but only from the outside. The skin which is exposed to the harsh environmental conditions every day needs more than just a product to make it healthy. That is where BoroPlus Healthy White Fairness Cream comes to your rescue.”
The key communication was to focus on today’s woman power. It is not about skin whitening but about the fair opportunities for women.
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.
