Mumbai : Put on your dancing shoes, set your SWAG LEVEL high as the sensational HAR GHOONT MEIN SWAG ANTHEM is here to rock your next party.
PEPSI® is all set to celebrate the spirit of the new generation with a PEPPY, FOOT-TAPPING NEW SONG this summer. Part of the brand’s HAR GHOONT MEIN SWAG campaign, the anthem features THREE OF THE BIGGEST MILLENNIAL ICONS OF TODAY – DISHA PATANI, TIGER SHROFF AND BADSHAH. Choreographed by the inimitable AHMED KHAN, the Har Ghoont Mein Swag anthem will give today’s generation a soundtrack that defines their life and times. The anthem is a part of Pepsi’s 2019 campaign and follows the successful Har Ghoont Mein Swag TVC.
The anthem was launched at a STAR STUDDED EVENT at Mumbai’s iconic PVR JUHU. Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani set the stage ablaze as they grooved to Badshah’s beats.
Speaking about the song, Tarun Bhagat, Director-Marketing, Hydration and Cola, PepsiCo India, said, “Pepsi has always had a close connection with music, and has worked with the most iconic superstars to create powerful pieces of culture around the world. This summer, it’s bringing that same magic alive here – creating an anthem for India’s super confidence, it’s unshakeable self-belief, it’s unassailable SWAG. With Badshah dropping the bass on our baseline #HarGhoontMeinSwag, Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff burning up the screen with their dance moves, and Bollywood heavy hitter Ahmed Khan directing the video, we’re hoping to have India singing the song right back at us.”
Disha Patani said, “Everything about Pepsi’s Har Ghoont Mein Swag reflects the cool attitude and Swag of the youth. The song is effortless, peppy and extremely relatable. The dance steps, the music, the colours and the costumes all come together to add to the perkiness of the song. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed shooting for a song so much in my life. I hope people enjoy watching the song as much as I have enjoyed performing for it!”
Sharing his excitement on the Har Ghoont Mein Swag anthem, Tiger Shroff said, “I am confident that Pepsi’s Har Ghoont Mein Swag anthem is going to be the next chartbuster. It is a supercool dance number that perfectly defines today’s generation – its uninhibited, confident and full of swag. I can’t wait to showcase the magic which Badshah, Disha, Ahmed and I have created together with Pepsi”
Badshah echoed his thoughts and said, “I am thrilled to be continuing my association with Pepsi. This year, we have built on Pepsi’s philosophy of self-belief and are celebrating the self-confidence of India’s youth through our new song. At the core of it, ‘Har Ghoont Mein Swag’ is a party anthem that is going to set the dance floors on fire throughout the country. It was a lot of fun performing with Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani and I am confident that our fans will love watching us groove to the anthem.”
Director of the music video, Ahmed Khan said, “Har Ghoont Mein Swag is exactly what it sets out to be – a youth anthem. Today’s new generation is armed with self-belief and Swag, they’re effortlessly cool and don’t hesitate to stand up for what they believe in. We have showcased this very attitude in the music video. I had an absolute blast working with Disha, Tiger and Badshah and that fun translates on screen. Stay tuned, Har Ghoont Mein Swag is all set to rock India.”

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.
