NTPC kickstarts campaign for Vigilance Awareness Week 2024
Mumbai: The three-month-long campaign in the run-up to the Vigilance Awareness Week 2024 at NTPC was launched by NTPC’s chief vigilance officer Rashmita Jha at New Delhi on 16 August 2024. Vigilance officers posted across NTPC participated in this programme through video conferencing.
Speaking on the occasion, Jha appealed all vigilance officers to work on areas outlined by the Central Vigilance Commission for the three-month-long campaign. She asked all the vigilance officers for extensive outreach through various methods such as plays, quizzes, informative videos, audios, jingles, and vendor meetings. She also encouraged exploring innovative approaches to enhance vigilance awareness during the interaction.
She also urged the vigilance officers to continuously strengthen the culture of integrity both within the organisation and in the broader community for the nation’s prosperity. All senior officials of corporate vigilance were present on this occasion.
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.
