Hindware unveils Aqua Pro water-saving nozzles in latest ad campaign
Mumbai: Hindware Ltd, the country’s bathware brand, launched its new television commercial campaign, #TapIntoTheFuture, featuring some of the biggest cricket icons from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team. Conceptualised and created by Mullen Lintas, the campaign seeks to raise awareness about water conservation for a sustainable future, placing the spotlight on the brand’s latest innovation – the Aqua Pro Water-Saving Nozzles. The campaign aims to inspire and encourage viewers to take actionable steps towards reducing their water footprint.
The Aqua Pro Nozzle, a revolutionary product developed in collaboration with Swedish innovation company, Altered, is designed to set new benchmarks in water conservation. These ground-breaking nozzles provide an astounding capability to save up to 98% of water usage, engineered to fit seamlessly into any regular tap. Aqua Pro Nozzle’s Swedish Atomisation Technology transforms water flow into three modes – “Spray, Dome and Mist,” drastically reducing water usage without compromising on functionality, ensuring that water is used to its utmost efficiency, leading to significant savings in water.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Sudhanshu Pokhriyal, CEO – Bath & Tiles Business, Hindware Limited, said, “In our continuous endeavour to redefine bathroom solutions and contribute to a sustainable future, we have introduced Hindware Aqua Pro Water Saving Nozzles. This is a testament to our commitment, to offering a revolutionary solution to the looming water crisis. Through our partnership with cricket’s most celebrated stars, we aim to amplify the message of water conservation and inspire widespread adoption of eco-friendly solutions and practices.”
Ms Arunima Yadav, VP & Head of Marketing-Bath & Tiles Business, Hindware Limited, further added, “As a brand we are committed to bringing innovative solutions to our consumers and communicate them in an interesting manner. Our latest ad campaign draws the parallel between technology used in cricket with technology used in Aqua Pro water-saving nozzles and how one saves the day for our cricket players while the latter will help to save our tomorrow by saving water. Our partnership with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team adds a powerful endorsement to our commitment to inspire the young generation to join us in preserving our most precious resource – water.”
Ram Cobain, Chief Creative Officer, Mullen Lintas shared, “Cricket uses a lot of technology to save its players from getting out. But what’s bigger than a wicket saved? Water. We partnered with the RCB team to show how a simple nozzle can save up to 98% of the most precious liquid on Planet Earth. The Aqua Pro 98 water-saving nozzle is not only a game-changer; it is a true team player. It’s from Hindware but it works perfectly with most common taps as well.”
The TVC campaign has been conceptualized by Mullen Lintas, one of India’s leading creative agencies, and will be aired on leading television channels and digital platforms across the country.
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.
