Paisabazaar adds Tamil to its new campaign
MUMBAI: Paisabazaar.com, a marketplace for loans and cards, has launched a new TV campaign on its free credit score feature. Along with three new commercials in Hindi, Paisabazaar.com has also launched its first regional campaign in Tamil. The regional campaign features popular actor Arjun Chidambaram, talking about the relevance of checking credit score.
Paisabazaar.com CEO and co-founder Naveen Kukreja says, “While in the last one year, we have run nation-wide campaigns through TV and digital, we now have also begun focusing on specific geographies for a better and deeper impact. We have started this strategic campaign from Tamil Nadu, one of our biggest markets and are already seeing great results. Arjun Chidambaram is an extremely popular actor among the youth and one of the future stars of Tamil cinema. We hope that making him the face of our free credit score campaign in Tamil Nadu will help us reach out to the millennial population in the state and help them get more credit-savvy.”
Paisabazaar.com offers a credit report along with monthly updates at no cost. The free credit score feature on Paisabazaar.com, built in partnership with Experian Credit Information Company, is easy, instant and completely online.
Paisabazaar.com chief product officer Radhika Binani adds, “We are running India’s biggest credit awareness programme, which is not only enabling customers to choose the right credit products and lenders, but also helping them improve their credit score for better credit offerings in the future. With our regular campaigns on TV, we hope to spread the free credit score message further and wider.”
This is Paisabazaar’s second big TV campaign on their free credit score feature in less than six months. The national campaign is already on air on Star Sports HD, Star Sports SD, Sony Max, Aaj Tak, NDTV India, etc. The Tamil commercial is being aired on Tamil channels like Sun TV, KTV, Jaya Plus, News18 Tamil Nadu and others.
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.
