Mother’s Recipe unveils its Summerwala Sharbat DVC campaign
Mumbai: Sharbat, the sweet and refreshing drink has the power to bring back memories of childhood. The tradition of having sharbat in summer always strikes nostalgia. In Indian households, making sharbat is a family affair, with everyone pitching in to help prepare the drink. Grandmothers are often the ones who pass down their traditional recipes and techniques for making sharbat. In the summer season, tea gets replaced with sharbat while welcoming guests. Sharbats are offered as a thirst quencher to beat the scorching summer heat. As the temperatures rise and people begin to seek out refreshing drinks to quench their thirst, Mother’s Recipe, one of India’s food brands, has launched a DVC campaign for its newly launched Summerwala Sharbat.
This delicious and refreshing range of Mother’s Recipe sharbat is perfect for those hot summer days. We have all seen our mothers indulging in the process of making khus, aam panna and many other drinks at home. Whether we returned from school or came back from playing, or it was a special occasion or a family gathering, one thing common for the summer season was the cooling, refreshing sharbat. With the concept of reminiscing childhood memories, Mother’s Recipe has replicated the same in their latest DVC for Summerwala Sharbat.
The new television advertisement for Summerwala Sharbat is based on a beautiful voice-over capturing vibrant visuals of a mother giving sharbat to kids and different people enjoying the drink in various settings which will surely take you back down memory lane. Each of the sharbat is depicted as a journey back to our childhood or a special occasion Jab khel se break leke Ma ka pallu khichate, Toh woh samajh jati ki ye pyaas kuch khaas hai, Woh Aam Paane ki khati mitti yadee dil se leke zuban par aajati. The advertisement captures the essence of summer and highlights the refreshing taste of Summerwala Sharbat. Mother’s Recipe sharbat has launched five new range refreshing flavours Mango Panna, Rose Sharbat, Jeera Masala, Khus Syrup and Lemon Ginger. Khus sharbat, made with khus extract, Lemon sharbat, made with lemon juice and ginger extract and Mango Panna sharbat, made with mango pulp and Jeera & mint.

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.
