MTR Foods launches new advertising campaign for their new launch – 3-minute Seviyan Upma
MUMBAI: MTR Foods Pvt. Ltd, the pioneer of packaged food products in India, today unveiled an advertising campaign for the new quick-to-cook breakfast option – 3 Minute Seviyan Upma. MTR has given one of the most popular Indian breakfasts, a 3 Minute spin. The all-inclusive mix, packed with the natural goodness of wheat, flavourful mix of perfectly roasted vermicelli, right blend of masala and cashews needs to be cooked in boiling water for only 3 minutes. The new campaign conceptualised by Ogilvy & Mather shows how 3 Minute Seviyan Upma seamlessly fits into the morning madness where the homemaker has to multitask to cater to her family’s needs.
The campaign is based on the simple insight that in the morning rush, the homemaker usually times her every task. But with 3 Minute Seviyan Upma, at least the family’s favourite breakfast is sorted.

Keeping this in mind, we have launched this new campaign to showcase how MTR 3 Minute Seviyan Upma gives Indian families a tasty & wholesome start while easing out the modern’s woman’s time in the kitchen.”
Promising to bring this popular breakfast option in a 3 Minute avatar, MTR Seviyan Upma is also a healthier alternative to many deep fried-maida-laden noodle brands currently available in the market. Loaded with goodness of wheat and no maida, it is a made of the choicest of ingredients with no added preservatives.
Tithi Ghosh, Managing Partner, Ogilvy South said, “A homemaker’s day starts off with the hustle and bustle of getting everyone ready for the day.

This TVC positions MTR’s 3-minute Seviyan Upma as the preferred breakfast choice for the multi tasker of today, allowing her to constantly delight her family.”
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.
