Iss Baar Diwali Sabki Hai! with Roadcast’s new QR code campaign
Mumbai: As the shimmering lights of Diwali draw closer, RoadCast, India’s leading innovator in automotive technology, unveils an extraordinary solution to combat the common issue of double parking during the festive season in India.
With their new campaign -“Iss Baar Diwali Sabki Hai!” RoadCast is on a mission to redefine Diwali celebrations and wave goodbye to the inconveniences of parking mayhem.
Diwali, the grand festival of dazzling diyas, sweet treats, and heartfelt gatherings, is not all smooth sailing. The shopping trips can often turn bitter due to the infamous conundrum of double parking. This is where Roadcast has stepped in to save the day with its QR code solution!
The consumer can download the app, generate their very own QR code, and affix it to their vehicle. This simple step will allow people to promptly scan this QR code on your vehicle and get in touch with you in case they are inconvenienced by your parked car. Similarly, you can also scan the QR code on the other person’s vehicle in case you are the one stuck with their haphazard parking!
One of the major advantages of this solution is privacy and safety. The QR code allows drivers to reach out to each other without the need to reveal or know any personal information.
“Today the number of vehicles on the road has increased drastically. During festivals, this number increases multifold. This issue of inconveniences like double parking is an everyday issue but even more frustrating during festivities. The idea of this QR code is not just about technology, it’s about bringing convenience, safety and harmony to the festivities. It is safe as no one has to give out their personal information like contact number and it is convenient because it takes just seconds to scan the code and contact the driver”, shared Roadcast co-founder Vishal Jain.
After all, Kyunki sabka hai tyohar, kisi ko kyu pareshan karna yaar? Chota sa hi toh hai, lagale na QR!”
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.
