Kushal’s fashion jewellery launches digital film for Varamahalakshmi campaign
Mumbai: Kushal’s, a fashion and silver jewellery brand, unveils its Varamahalakshmi Vratam campaign under the theme celebrate The Goddess In You. This campaign aims to honour the strength, beauty, and grace inherent in every woman, invoking a sense of prosperity.
The centrepiece of this campaign is a 60-second digital film that opens with the protagonist emerging from a watery abode. Water is often associated with abundance and prosperity. The protagonist then enters the home which symbolises the flow of wealth and luck, depicting the divine essence of Goddess Lakshmi entering the everyday life of a woman. These visual metaphors suggest that qualities such as prosperity, grace, and strength are inherent in every woman, and she brings these attributes into her home and daily existence. Emerging from water also represents rising above challenges and embracing one’s inner power, while entering the house signifies grounding this power in her life.
Throughout the video, the protagonist is adorned in Kushal’s Varamahalakshmi Vratam collection, which features an exquisite array of curated Temple jewellery, meticulously crafted in antique finish and in 92.5 Silver. The brand has launched a carefully curated collection of over 200 designs, including stunning chokers, short necklaces, long haar, statement pieces with medallions, and layered chains.
“The film will be amplified through a digital campaign across platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Google, and more,” said Kushal’s director of marketing Ankit Gulecha. “We are well poised to see a 40 per cent growth over last year this Varamahalakshmi, a festival celebrated with much fanfare in South India. Our collection this year which is available across our brand stores in the South perfectly captures the essence of the modern Indian woman, embodying the spirit of Goddess Lakshmi.”

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.
