Pakka launches artful cleanliness brand campaign in Ayodhya
Mumbai: Pakka Ltd, formerly known as Yash Pakka Ltd, a manufacturer of compostable packaging solutions, has launched a unique, art-centric brand campaign in Ayodhya. Ahead of the much-anticipated Ram Mandir inauguration, the campaign aims to raise awareness about cleanliness in the holy city. Themed around ‘Cleanliness is Service’ and ‘Cleanliness is Abundance’, the campaign echoes the Indian Government’s “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” initiative spearheading UP government’s single-use plastic free Ayodhya campaign – RACE.
Pakka’s campaign is centered on adorning Ayodhya with vibrant illustrations depicting the ‘Swachhta hi Seva’ motif. These eye-catching visuals will strategically be placed on hoardings, painted police booths, and bio-toilets, reinforcing the message of responsible waste management and environmental stewardship.
In a significant move, Pakka has collaborated with the Ram Mandir Trust to further improve the campaign’s impact. Pakka’s flagship brand, CHUK, known for its compostable tableware, will exclusively distribute tableware before and after the Ayodhya Mandir inauguration event. This collaboration is a testament to Pakka’s dedication to promoting and spreading the message of sustainability.
Pakka Ltd executive director Gautam Ghosh said, “The Ram Mandir consecration is undoubtedly one of the most momentous occasions in the history of the country. With this illustrative campaign, we aim to create awareness on the menace of single-use plastics that would benefit the community and city. The overarching goal of the campaign is not just solving end-to-end needs for disposables throughout the event but also cementing our position as the flag-bearers of sustainability originating from Ayodhya.”
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.
