Godrej Veg Oils celebrates bonding over food in ‘Sahi Shuruaat’ campaign
Mumbai: Godrej Veg Oils, a brand of Godrej Industries has launched a new video under its ‘Sahi Shuruaat’ campaign. The video features Marathi film and theatre actor Bhau Kadam and Bollywood actor and chef Tara Deshpande, emphasising how food acts as an enabler in bringing happiness in the lives of the people.
This video features the two actors engaging in a fun-filled banter with each other. It highlights how food goes beyond taste and can trigger moments of togetherness. Bhau Kadam along with Tara Deshpande will be seen cooking various versions of a popular Maharashtrian dish ‘Sheera,’ highlighting the sense of camaraderie through bonding over food.
“We are delighted to associate with Bhau Kadam and Tara Deshpande for our ‘Sahi Shuruaat’ campaign. Just as both these stars are known for their pure humour and excellent quality content, Godrej Veg Oils is known for its focus on taste, purity, range, and quality,” said Godrej Industries executive director and president Nitin Nabar. “This association has some interesting similarities and a connect which brings to the fore the USPs of our Godrej Veg Oils.”
“Enjoying good food with family and friends enables us to stay connected with each other. We often use this time for bonding and interesting conversations. Godrej Veg Oils has a versatile range of oils thereby enabling us to cook and enjoy a variety of our favourite dishes,” said Bhau Kadam.
Tara Deshpande added, “‘Sahi Shuruaat’ nurtures a long-lasting bond that leads to great experiences and good health. It was such a fun experience working with the Godrej team and Bhau to bring to everyone the importance of using high-quality veg oils for everyday cooking for your families.”

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.
