Dhanuka Agritech launches new TVC featuring Amitabh Bachchan
MUMBAI: With its promise of bringing world class agro-solutions to farmers across the Indian geography, Dhanuka Agritech Limited, one of India’s leading Agrochemical Formulation Company, has launched a series of television commercials featuring Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan. For years Dhanuka Agritech Limited (DAL) has been at the forefront of educating and spreading awareness about the right & judicious use of agro-chemicals.
A series of 6 commercials, created by PUSH Integrated aptly depicts the farmer’s belief in astrologers and clairvoyants for predicting future cultivation and dependence on god for protecting their crops from destruction. The commercials portray Amitabh Bachchan as a rural man who guides the farmers to use the products including Dhanzyme Gold, MAX-SOY, Mortar, Sakura and Cover on various crops.
Commenting on the new TVC, Mr. R.G.Agarwal, Group Chairman, Dhanuka Agritech Limited, said “Since decades, the vision of Dhanuka Agritech Limited has been to bring about progressive change in the lives of Indian farmers through dedicated knowledge-driven and development-related activities. This new campaign is a further step in educating the farmers on the importance of use of agro-chemicals for a profitable yield.
He further added, “Today’s farmer immediately identifies with Amitabh Bachchan as a style icon. Mr. Bachchan is not only a versatile actor but also has a high degree of credibility and reliability. He was the perfect fit for Dhanuka and the messages the brand conveys.”
Mr. V A Shrikumar, Founder and CMD, PUSH Integrated Communications Pvt. Ltd. said, “We wanted to create a campaign that directly connects with the Indian farmers. Since agriculture is the backbone of our economy and crop failures have always impacted the growth momentum. From our deeper understanding of the farmer behavior we found out most of the farmers in India still rely on superstitious and old school beliefs are applied to farming. Also from Dhanuka’s perspective, the brand relies on top scientific research round the clock and they come out with solutions that will help the farmer achieve a high yield. Educating and spreading awareness amongst the farmers through these TVCs was an apt campaign which we could think of doing with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.”
Dhanuka Agritech Limited plans to go national with the TVC’s being telecasted in all major national and regional channels, starting 20th June.

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.
