Fenesta cracks open a leaky laugh this monsoon with its new film
MUMBAI: Fenesta is bringing humour to the downpour with a new campaign that finds comedy in a common monsoon catastrophe, a leaky window.
Titled ‘Keep the Rain Out with Fenesta Windows & Doors’, the film is the latest instalment of the brand’s ongoing ‘Fine. Finer. Fenesta’ campaign. Conceptualised and directed by Titus Upputuru, the spot captures a hilariously relatable moment, a man returns home to a puddle on the floor, blames the family dog for an indoor accident, only to discover the real culprit is a dodgy old window.
Cue punchline: “Windows leaking again? Time to switch to Fenesta.”
Delivered with deadpan wit and monsoon flair, the ad makes a splash while spotlighting Fenesta’s engineered-for-India windows built to keep water, noise and dust out with advanced multi-chamber profiles and airtight seals.
Speaking of the campaign, Fenesta head of marketing, Susmita Nag said, “This campaign takes a playful spin on a very real seasonal concern. At Fenesta, we believe the rains should be a joy, not a hassle. ‘Fine. Finer. Fenesta’ isn’t just about showcasing our windows; it’s about highlighting the assurance they bring. Our precision-engineered uPVC and aluminium systems are built for Indian homes and Indian monsoons with multi-chambered profiles and advanced sealing that guard against water seepage, noise, and dust. It’s where cutting-edge engineering meets everyday comfort, keeping your home dry, peaceful, and elegant, rain or shine.”
Director Titus Upputuru added, “I absolutely love the rains—they bring romance, chai, and pakoras. But without good windows and doors, they can cause havoc indoors. That’s where Fenesta comes in, ensuring rains stay beautiful. It was a joy directing this film— From directing Charlie to showing how maids are enjoying a whole new power and attitude in urban households. A super fun shoot all around!”
With rising consumer demand for durable, design-forward home solutions that hold up in every season, Fenesta’s film lands as both a reminder and a nudge if your window leaks more than your roof, it might be time to call in the experts.
Now live across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, the campaign marries brand wit with seasonal insight, proving once again that sometimes, the best way to fix a leak is with a laugh.
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.
