Godrej redefines ABCD on Children’s Day
Mumbai: Godrej Group has launched a new campaign for Children’s Day that redefines all 26 letters of English. The new-age ABC song was released on the group’s social media pages.
Sung in the same tune as the traditional ABC, it makes the learning process easy and catchy. The song aims to help little ones grow and live better, thereby promoting a society and nation that thrive. The song aspires to help raise the children to be genuine, well-aware, and streetwise individuals who learned facts and values early in their lives.
With a vision of replacing the traditional ABC with the new-age ABC, Godrej Group has tied up with Teach For India for an on-ground partnership. They will be posting the video on their social media handles as well as sharing it with their fellows, who will make videos/reels of them reciting this new ABCD song. Going forward, we will be approaching more schools and the Educational Board of India to include ABC in the pre-school curriculum.
Speaking on the launch of the new ABC song, Godrej Group executive director and chief brand officer Tanya Dubash said, “It is imperative that children learn and inculcate the right attitudes and habits at a tender age. Since Children’s Day is extra special for us at Godrej, we thought of gifting our kids with a song that will help them become better individuals tomorrow, even as they learn the basics of the alphabet. The new ABC song will therefore be an appropriate introduction to learning for the children of today.”
Speaking about the partnership, Teach For India CEO and founder trustee Shaheen Mistri added, “At Teach For India, we keep children at the centre of everything that we do. We want every child to reach their truest potential by giving them access to an excellent, reimagined education. With the new-age ABCDs, we can start to sow the seeds of what children can truly imagine for themselves, for others, and for India.”
Creativeland Asia co-founder and creative vice chairman Anu Joseph said, “With so many things changing around us over the last couple of years, we thought kids should have a new set of things to remember and learn. Therefore, this new-age ABC song.
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.
