Kesh King to launch TVC featuring Sania Mirza
MUMBAI: Kesh King, the ayurvedic hair care solution range, has announced that it will soon roll out a new television commercial featuring ace tennis player Sania Mirza. The TVC, being Sania’s first post-childbirth, will show her talking about how Kesh King helped in reducing post-pregnancy hair problems like rough and dry hair, and hairfall.
Commenting on the association, Emami Limited director Priti A Sureka said, “Kesh King is a trusted natural haircare solution. It has always been a reliable brand for its consumers over the years. We understand that post-childbirth most women go through both physical (hormonal) and mental changes that are unique to each woman. Hair fall is a major manifestation of that physiological upheaval causing a lot of mental distress to the new mother. Sania’s endorsement of Kesh King relieving her from her post-pregnancy hair fall is a big boost for the brand and vindicates our claim to be the ultimate solution to hair care woes. We are very happy to see Sania in her new role as a mother and wish both the mother and the child a very healthy and prosperous future.”
Kesh Kind brand ambassador and eminent tennis player Sania Mirza said, “Motherhood has truly been a blessing for me. But I experienced hair fall combined with dry, lifeless hair after the birth of my child. I then came to know that this is a common and persistent post-pregnancy problem that exists among women and I wish to sensitise them of the best solution available in the market. Kesh King has stayed true to its claims and my hair fall has reduced remarkably. It is nothing short of a miracle!”
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.
