Legrand India & Liqvd Asia say #ComeHometoPujo
MUMBAI: Legrand India and Liqvd ASIA partnered to bring vibrancy associated with Pujo for people living outside their home town.
Legrand India, an electrical and digital infrastructures company along with its digital partners Liqvd Asia, plans to create a real-time experience for the citizens around the country and elsewhere. Building on the excitement around the Pujo and allowing the people away from their hometown feel the pulse of the Pujo, the company has created an online destination — http://www.comehometopujo.com/ dedicated to festive happenings.
The agency created an Instagram account ComeHomeToPujo which functions just like a regular website. It has 6 image tabs displaying the different aspects of Pujo, like a virtual library. Clicking on a category leads to the pictures within the category), all of which have their own Instagram accounts. Like Legrand_pandals, Legrand_Food, Legrand_Moments, Legrand_Pujo, Legrand_idols and Legrand_Colourred The tagging feature on the app has been used to enable easy navigation and involvement from their users — https://www.instagram.com/comehometopujo/
“We wanted to create something really cool. And then, we noticed similarities between Instagram tags and website links. And then was ComeHomeToPujo Instragram introduced. The account makes use of Instagram’s tagging features and grid structure in an unconventional way to simulate a website,” said Liqvd Asia MD Arnab Mitra.
The campaign also includes a photography contest as the country is slowly decking up for DurgaPujo. The contest is open for fervent and passionate photographers to capture the spirit of pujo through their eyes.
Legrand India has been associating themselves with DurgaPujo pandels in Kolkata for almost a decade now. Last year #ComeHomeToPujo campaign generated prodigious response receiving over 1000 entries. This campaign helped citizens from far-flung regions connecting themselves with their favourite festival. Taking a cue from the popularity last year, Legrand has made this year’s campaign bigger and better by expanding the reach of the campaign.
To make this experience unique, the company will organise Flash Mobs which will be performed at 20 different locations starting from Soshthi (The sixth day of Durga Puja).
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.
