Mumbai: Cummins India, a leading power solutions technology provider announced successful culmination of its integrated digital campaign ‘60 years of Powering India’, an ode to its six decades of successfully powering India’s growth story. The four-month long campaign featured 60 legacy stories capturing key company milestones, its contribution to India’s growth journey, and stakeholder stories and testimonials. The campaign aimed at demonstrating the positive impact that the company has created on its stakeholders, communities, and the planet.
Conceptualised and executed by Cummins India in collaboration with Zensciences – a digital marketing agency, the social media campaign was a resounding success garnering a reach of over 1.6 million and widespread engagement of over 553,000 from diverse audiences across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. As a part of the campaign, the company also launched – Cummins PowerPods – their first and exclusive podcast channel in collaboration with Timbre Media, a reputed name in corporate podcasts, to present the stories of organisational significance to internal and external stakeholders in a refreshing and personalised way. The campaign had a unique hashtag, #CumminsIndiaAt60, and culminated with a campaign video, “Six Decades of Cummins India”.

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.
