Maxus Bangalore devises campaign for Tanishq with Maa TV
MUMBAI: Tanishq has joined hands with Maxus to capture the Southern market as the must-have jewellery brand for weddings through the agency’s innovative campaign. Tanishq has been integrated with Maa TV.
“Tanishq has an extensive range of regional wedding jewellery for all different communities – a little known fact and essential to communicate. The brand TVC does try to address this, but only that much can be said in a single TVC. The Maxus content team created a win–win association with Maa TV’s editorial team and created a coup of sorts – getting the channel’s most popular faces to create a stunning showcase of the Telegu brides’ must have Telegu jewellery pieces, assuring Andhra/Telengana women that they will get the most spectacular regional range at Tanishq. The Maa protagonist giving their assurance adds immediate believability and trust, something that would otherwise take long to create,” said Maxus India South head Sanchayeeta Verma.
Speaking about the initiative, Titan jewellery division general manager – marketing Deepika Tewari added, “We are delighted to be a part of this one-of-a kind initiative by Maxus in collaboration with Maa TV. Over the years, we have built a very strong bond with the Telegu community and look forward to growing our relationship by continuing to offer best-in-class jewellery. The Telegu wedding collection by Tanishq brings to life the ancient traditions of the Telegu community in true Tanishq form. We understand the importance of jewellery pieces like Vaddanam and Vanki for a Telegu bride, and are proud to showcase our wedding collection spread across traditional gold ornaments to deck the bride in her finest.”
The campaign featured various soap actors who are big decision influencers in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana market. Furthermore Maxus Bangalore also co-created integrated branded content with the Maa TV.
As a part of the integrated brand campaign Maxus ESP along with Maa TV selected the three most popular faces of the channel namely Jyoti (Ashta Chamma), Sirisha (Kanchana Ganga) and Meghna (Sasirekha Parinayam) to create a vignette. Maxus was involved in the entire creative process of casting, scripting and production of the vignette. The vignette will be promoted by Tanishq exclusively on the digital platform.

Gurpreet Singh named President of DishTV Alumni Network
Former Dish TV executive to lead community building and collaboration.
MUMBAI: Back to the dish, but this time it’s about connections, not channels Gurpreet Singh is returning to familiar territory with a new mandate that swaps subscribers for relationships. Singh has been appointed President of the DishTV Alumni Network, a move aimed at strengthening ties among former employees and building a more engaged professional community around the Dish TV ecosystem. The initiative reflects a growing trend among large organisations to formalise alumni networks as platforms for collaboration, mentorship and business opportunities.
The appointment draws on Singh’s deep-rooted history with Dish TV, where he held multiple leadership roles over nearly a decade. As National Business Head between June 2019 and September 2020, he oversaw profit and loss as well as operations, managing revenues of Rs 6,000 crore and leading a team of around 1,250 employees across the country. His tenure included working alongside two regional business heads and 16 circle heads, underscoring the scale of operations he handled.
Prior to that, Singh served as Executive Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue from 2016 to 2019, and earlier as Senior Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue. He also briefly led international operations as Country Head for Sri Lanka, further expanding his exposure across markets.
His broader career spans leadership roles across telecom and consumer businesses, including a stint as Chief Operating Officer at Bharti Airtel’s Malawi operations, senior leadership roles at Reliance Communications, and earlier positions at Hindustan Sanitaryware and Kodak India, where he spent over a decade.
In his new role, Singh is expected to focus on reconnecting former employees, fostering collaboration, and building a structured alumni ecosystem that leverages shared experience and industry networks. As companies increasingly recognise the long-term value of their extended workforce, the DishTV Alumni Network appears set to turn nostalgia into a strategic asset, one connection at a time.
