Philips unveils its latest campaign #TenOnTenYou with Virat Kohli
Mumbai: With the influx of social media and the pressure laid on people to be presentable concerning societal benchmarks, millennials today tackle both physical and mental issues impacting their overall well-being. Keeping this thought in mind, Philips India has launched a new campaign called #TenOnTenYou with brand ambassador Virat Kohli.
The campaign video created by Philips takes you on a journey through the eyes of Kohli. It captures a day of his life starting from the stadium to his home. The focus of this video is to highlight how people around him are constantly judging him, shown through the analogy of holding up various scorecards.
The film parallelly puts into focus Philips BT3000’s innovative product offering of Power Adapt Sensor which demonstrates how no matter what happens in life, the only score those matters is the one you give yourself. The vision for this video is to talk about self-importance and confidence that people need to have within themselves, as nothing beyond that matters.
“In life, we often face the pressure of living up to certain expectations and always are under the radar of being judged by the people around us, leaving little room for self-confidence. Through the latest campaign #TenOnTenYou, we hope to create awareness around how individuals need not adapt to the standards set by society but have a certain level of self-confidence coming from how they perceive themselves,” said Philips Indian subcontinent head of personal health Vidyut Kaul. “This level of self-esteem can only come when they are vocal about their own needs and demands and look for a personalised experience. BT3000 series is Philips’ answer to all these desires of consumers to break free from the shackles of societal pressure. Have a journey for yourself, and an experience just like you wanted, which is exactly what our new product BT3000 offers which adapt to the hair density 125 times a second to give you the perfect trim and enables you to be the best version of yourself that works for you.”
The campaign breaks with a long-format digital film and extends to OTT (IPL on Hotstar) TV, outdoor, YouTube as well as social media influencer engagement.

Abhay Duggal joins JioStar as director of Hindi GEC ad sales
The streaming giant brings in a seasoned revenue hand as the battle for Hindi television advertising heats up
MUMBAI: Abhay Duggal has a new desk, and JioStar has a new weapon. The media and entertainment veteran has joined JioStar as director of entertainment ad sales for Hindi general entertainment channels, adding 17 years of hard-won revenue experience to one of India’s most powerful broadcasting operations.
Duggal is no stranger to big portfolios or bruising markets. Before joining JioStar, he spent a brief stint at Republic World as deputy general manager and north regional head for ad sales. Before that, he put in three years at Enterr10 Television, where he ran the north region for Dangal TV and Dangal 2, two of India’s leading free-to-air Hindi channels. The north alone accounted for more than 50 per cent of total channel revenue on his watch, a number that tends to get attention in any sales meeting.
His longest stint was at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, where he spent over six years rising to associate director of sales. There he commanded the Hindi movies cluster across seven channels, owned more than half of north India’s revenue across flagship properties including Zee TV and &TV, and closed marquee sponsorships across the Indian Premier League, Zee Rishtey Awards and Dance India Dance. He also handled monetisation for the English movies and entertainment cluster and the global news channel WION, a portfolio that would stretch most sales teams twice his size.
Earlier in his career Duggal closed what was then a Rs 3 crore single deal at Reliance Broadcast Network, one of the largest in Indian radio at the time, before that he helped launch and monetise JAINHITS, India’s first HITS-based cable and satellite platform.
His edge, by his own account, lies in marrying data and instinct: translating audience trends, inventory signals and client demands into long-term partnerships built on cost-per-rating-point discipline rather than short-term deal chasing. In a media landscape being reshaped by streaming, fragmented attention and AI-driven advertising, that kind of rigour is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
JioStar, which blends the scale of Reliance’s Jio platform with the content firepower of Star, is doubling down on its advertising business at precisely the moment the Hindi GEC market is getting more competitive. Bringing in someone who has spent nearly two decades doing exactly this, across some of India’s most watched channels, is a pointed statement of intent. Duggal has spent his career turning audiences into revenue. JioStar is clearly betting he can do it again, and bigger.
