Dentsu Impact Launches brand new campaign #BadeChamakRaheHo for Mobiistar C1 Shine
MUMBAI: After its recent win, Dentsu Impact, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, has rolled out a brand-new campaign for Mobiistar C1 Shine. In a cluttered smartphone market where every other brand is sharply positioned on a feature or a combination of features, Mobiistar C1 Shine focuses on how a feature with a combination of looks can add value to a consumer through an interesting story. C1 Shine’s eye catching ‘Mirror shine body’ is the focus of the campaign.
The communication features young, energetic, individual from a semi-urban locale who upon using C1 shine sees his day transform into something magical. It’s a story where phone magically transforms a life of an ordinary young man by being his partner in crime. The campaign is titled ’bade chamak rahe ho’.
The campaign will be rolled out pan India with a greater presence in Offline, POS and other key touch point of purchase. In a segment that is price-value conscious this campaign aims in garnering greater awareness and furthering the brand promise of Mobiistar of ‘enjoy more’ through an interesting and insightful story telling.
Speaking on the campaign Anupama Ramaswamy, National Creative Director, Dentsu Impact said, “Our consumer is constantly hunting for acceptance and acknowledgement from people in and around his/her life. Interestingly, 'Bade Chamak Rahe Ho' is a fun colloquial sentence that perfectly bridges our consumer's insight with the product truth of mirror-like shine. The film is entertaining and not preachy. The music will surely make you take notice and smile. All this helped us weave a story that we're sure it will add shine to its viewers' lives.”
Aniruddha Deb, Chief Marketing Officer, Mobiistar India added, “In a category firmly positioned on features and price-value benefits, it is Mobiistar’s vision to provide value through the best of features at a price that is accessible to small town customers. A phone to this TG is not just a phone but a device that accentuates his personality and stature. Our campaign brings alive this idea perfectly.”

Abhay Duggal joins JioStar as director of Hindi GEC ad sales
The streaming giant brings in a seasoned revenue hand as the battle for Hindi television advertising heats up
MUMBAI: Abhay Duggal has a new desk, and JioStar has a new weapon. The media and entertainment veteran has joined JioStar as director of entertainment ad sales for Hindi general entertainment channels, adding 17 years of hard-won revenue experience to one of India’s most powerful broadcasting operations.
Duggal is no stranger to big portfolios or bruising markets. Before joining JioStar, he spent a brief stint at Republic World as deputy general manager and north regional head for ad sales. Before that, he put in three years at Enterr10 Television, where he ran the north region for Dangal TV and Dangal 2, two of India’s leading free-to-air Hindi channels. The north alone accounted for more than 50 per cent of total channel revenue on his watch, a number that tends to get attention in any sales meeting.
His longest stint was at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, where he spent over six years rising to associate director of sales. There he commanded the Hindi movies cluster across seven channels, owned more than half of north India’s revenue across flagship properties including Zee TV and &TV, and closed marquee sponsorships across the Indian Premier League, Zee Rishtey Awards and Dance India Dance. He also handled monetisation for the English movies and entertainment cluster and the global news channel WION, a portfolio that would stretch most sales teams twice his size.
Earlier in his career Duggal closed what was then a Rs 3 crore single deal at Reliance Broadcast Network, one of the largest in Indian radio at the time, before that he helped launch and monetise JAINHITS, India’s first HITS-based cable and satellite platform.
His edge, by his own account, lies in marrying data and instinct: translating audience trends, inventory signals and client demands into long-term partnerships built on cost-per-rating-point discipline rather than short-term deal chasing. In a media landscape being reshaped by streaming, fragmented attention and AI-driven advertising, that kind of rigour is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
JioStar, which blends the scale of Reliance’s Jio platform with the content firepower of Star, is doubling down on its advertising business at precisely the moment the Hindi GEC market is getting more competitive. Bringing in someone who has spent nearly two decades doing exactly this, across some of India’s most watched channels, is a pointed statement of intent. Duggal has spent his career turning audiences into revenue. JioStar is clearly betting he can do it again, and bigger.
