Manyavar launches #RakhiKaBroCode campaign to showcase latest collection
Mumbai: Marking the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Manyavar announced the launch of two television commercials highlightings its new campaign #RakhiKaBroCode. The campaign is designed by creative agency Shreyansh Innovations.
The campaign encourages brothers to dress up in a cool and colourful celebratory kurta from Manyavar and make this Raksha Bandhan deeply special by surprising your sister with being festive-ready in Indian wear.
The two ad films depict the daily banter and instances between brother and sister duos, which is full of love. The sisters who are excited and dressed up to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with their brothers are frowning as they are not ready in Indian wear to celebrate the occasion. The brothers then get ready by donning a Manyavar kurta to celebrate the festivity of Rakhi with their sister. Now every time there’s a celebration, big or small, Roka or Rakhi, Ganpati or Gangaur, Manyavar would like to remind us to dress up for the occasion. Ab Jab bhi Koi Khushi ki Baat ho, pehno Manyavar!
Speaking about this campaign, Vedant Fashions chief marketing officer Vedant Modi said, “I personally believe that occasions are not just mere rituals that we follow but they are a celebration of love and bonds which keep us together. Manyavar’s philosophy is all about keeping our culture and heritage in mind and making them even more special by wearing our traditional Indian wear. With the #RakhiKaBroCode campaign we aim at spreading the message and getting more people to wear Indian wear on all occasions.”
Sharing the idea behind the campaign, Shreyansh Innovations director Shreyansh Baid said, “Manyavar as a brand, always wanted to be synonymous with all joyous occasions, big or small. Rakshabandhan was an opportunity for us to bring out the joy of celebrating the love between siblings. Through our communication, we have reflected that the true essence of this festival comes only when the brother too is dressed in an Indian attire!”

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks
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.
