Mumbai: Legrand India, a global leader in electrical and digital building infrastructure solutions, has successfully launched a series of innovative activities aimed at maximizing engagement during the festive period across India. The initiatives focused on amplifying the launch of two new products, the Desktop Power Center and the Dizly Distribution Board, leveraging the festive season to enhance market presence.
As part of this campaign, Legrand has initiated an engaging retail activity named ‘Legrand Ke Superstars,’ targeting retailers in 50 cities, starting with Delhi. This initiative will take place through Navratri onwards until Diwali and aims to build awareness of the Lyncus range, the Dizly Distribution Board, and the Desktop Power Center, reinforcing Legrand’s commitment to innovative solutions in electrical infrastructure.
Rath Yatra Celebration in Puri
To ensure a seamless and worry-free experience for travellers during the Rath Yatra in Puri, Legrand installed 10 Allzy-powered charging stations at the Puri railway station and around the Mela booking areas in July this year. These stations allowed travellers to stay connected with their loved ones and capture special Rath Yatra moments, showcasing the versatility of Allzy, the all-rounder switch.

Visitors had the opportunity to engage with an innovative display featuring the Kamaal Ka Switch – Lyncus, a light and shadow art installation at Lalbaug Cha Raja pandal, captivating devotees as they waited in line for darshan.
Onam Celebrations in Kerala
Legrand celebrated the spirit of Onam in retail stores across Trivandrum, Kottayam, Calicut, Thrissur, and Kochi by engaging with over 300 people across more than 90 counters.

The activity entailed showcasing the new product launches – Dizly Distribution Board and Desktop Power Center along with the Kamaal Ka Switch, Lyncus range.

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.
