Nestle ties up with Snapdeal for new coffee launch with exclusive offering
MUMBAI: Nestlé India announced the launch of a new coffee -Nescafé Sunrise Insta-Filter, adding to its range of coffee and beverages. Nestlé India has partnered with Snapdeal for an exclusive offering of this product starting April 30. The exclusive pack from Sanpdeal comes with a traditional South Indian steel tumbler.
The company says that Nescafé Sunrise Insta-Filter provides the taste of filter coffee and yet does not require a filter and is specially made from 100 per cent Indian coffee beans, handpicked from Coorg and Chikmagalur.
Announcing the launch Nestlé India General Manager – Beverages Nayla Sioufi said, “Traditionally, the coffee market in India is divided into two segments which include the instant and roast & ground coffee. Observing a trend of dual usage we realized that consumers want a product offering which provides the best of both worlds- the taste of filter coffee with the convenience of instant coffee. With the introduction of Nescafé Sunrise Insta-Filter we aim to create a whole new segment expanding the overall category in India while enhancing consumers coffee experience.”
Nescafé Sunrise Insta-Filter will be available in the market at the cost of Rs 60 for a 24 gram pack that contains 15 sachets of 1.6 gram each as well as a 100 gram pack (tin) for Rs 225.
Earlier this month, the Indian part of the largest food company in the world, launched a brand new exotic range of Greek Yoghurt under the brand name of Nestlé a+ Grekyo.
For damage control and rebuilding of trust for its noodles products, Nestlé India hired McCann World Group for the Maggi Noodles relaunch, with the agency’s India unit chief executive Prasoon Joshi in charge of the creatives for the campaign. ZenithOptimedia handles the media buying duties for the company.
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.
