The campaign features actor Mamta Mohan Das, who offers a fresh perspective on how cooking can be easy and enjoyable with Havells Kitchen appliances such as the Heavy-Duty Mixer Grinder Hexo Series, Silencio mixer grinder, OTG, and induction cooktop.
Havells India’s executive vice president-electrical consumer durables Rajiv Kenue said, “Kitchen is the heart of every Indian household. In India, food and festivities go hand in hand. Every occasion is celebrated with a distinct set of delicacies from each region. Onam is the biggest festival in the state of Kerala, and we are proud to welcome such a talented celebrity, Mamta into the Havells family at this auspicious time.”
He further added, “With our latest digital campaign around Onam, we aim to celebrate the true taste and essence of good food by showcasing how cooking can be effortless and full of fun, with the help of kitchen appliances.”
A series of four digital films are part of the campaign, and they are being promoted across several websites & social media networks like YouTube and Instagram.
The video and display campaigns have already begun and will run through mid-September 2022.
The campaign beautifully demonstrates how Havells’ multi-purpose kitchen appliance range, with its superior product design and dependable quality, improves our daily lives & kitchens.
Havells India executive vice president-marketing Rohit Kapoor said “With Onam around the corner, we are delighted to introduce our latest campaign with Mamta, a talented celebrity, and a trendsetter in the target market.

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.
