Eloelo App launches anti-Valentine’s digital campaign #KunwaraDiwas
Mumbai: Eloelo, a homegrown live social-media app, launched an anti-Valentine’s campaign with Big Boss fame, Abhishek Malhan aka Fukra Insaan. The company filed a nation-wide petition on change.org to rename Valentine’s Day to #KunwaraDiwas.
Eloelo founder & CEO Saurabh Pandey said, “We saw a barrage of comments and clips online by the new age Indians expressing annoyance and distress with Valentine’s Day. Singles have been calling out for their own day and celebration amidst all the noise around Couples on Valentine’s Day. We at Eloelo decided to stand by all ‘Kunwaras’ this Valentine’s and to demand for their equal rights, we have started a petition on change.org to rename Valentine’s Day to #KunwaraDiwas.”
Eloelo partnered with Abhishek Malhan to help voice the callout for renaming Valentine’s Day. Abhishek in his own inimitable style proclaimed his feelings to his fans and supporters on X(twitter). Eloelo is also promoting the campaign in various colleges of Delhi-University.
Commenting on the association with Eloelo, Abhishek Malhan said, “ I have always advocated for love and laughter and I strongly believe nobody should feel left out on Valentine’s Day! Being single isn’t a curse, it’s a comedy of errors, and we should celebrate this day for being single also. I’m really excited to partner Eloelo and launch the petition to rename Valentine’s Day to #Kunawara Diwas.”
Eloelo is a homegrown live social media platform established in 2020, is defining a digital third place for the new age Indian. A live social entertainment app, Eloelo appeals directly to the need of young Indians to communicate with each other, express themselves, and fulfill their desire to participate in digital communities with like-minded people. Ranked in the Top 1 in India on the Google Play Store for Entertainment, it seamlessly integrates audio and video live chatrooms with interactive games and shows, fostering connections between over 40 million users and 400K creators.
For Valentine’s Day last year, Eloelo had launched India’s first online reality show, Love House. The show was streamed live for 144 hours, passing the world record for a continuous live stream on a mobile phone. The show observed four million views on livestream across six days, with a peak concurrency of over 200k viewers. Love House also served as a distribution channel for Bollywood movie Shehzada’s promotion.
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.
