Go natural!
NEW DELHI: Veet, one of the leaders in depilatory products, has recently launched a new “Naturals” hair removal cream range. Enriched with 100 per cent natural extracts and formulated with mild and refreshing, nature-inspired fragrances, the new product is a premium and naturally enhanced solution for getting smooth and glowing skin.
The range will be available in two variants – with papaya extracts for normal-dry skin and with camellia seed oil extracts for sensitive skin. And considering India to be an important market, the range has been first launched in India, before an international roll-out across countries.

A 360-degree marketing campaign to promote the new range has been launched led with a new TVC starring the brand ambassador of Veet and Bollywood’s reigning actress – Katrina Kaif. In line with the premium beauty codes owned by Veet, the commercial reaches out to savvy women looking for a naturally enhanced hair removal experience.
The TVC challenges the realms of possibilities by transporting her into an imaginary world of dreams, where nature magically surrounds her and grants her the goodness of its special ingredients, making her skin smooth and glowing, gently.
Talking about the new range, RB India managing director Akhil Chandra said, “Innovation forms the core of our DNA and being the market leader, we believe it is our responsibility to deliver better solutions to our customers. Our new Veet Naturals range combines Veet’s expertise at hair removal with the goodness of 100 per cent natural extracts, leaving skin smooth and glowing. Plus, this breakthrough innovation is infused with refreshing, nature-inspired fragrances and formulated with a superior technology that ensures a pleasant hair removal experience like never before. We have a robust 360 degree marketing campaign panning across print, digital, and TV, led by our new TVC starring our brand ambassador, Katrina Kaif.”
The new range is available in two pack sizes of 25gms and 60 gms, priced at Rs 60 and Rs 100 respectively.
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.
