Reliance General Insurance launches its #BachaateRaho campaign
Mumbai: Reliance General Insurance, a general insurance company, has released a special film this Raksha Bandhan #BachaateRaho, that beautifully encapsulates the special bond between siblings.
The film showcases the promise of mutual care and support, shielding each other from life’s challenges. While grand gestures are cherished, the campaign highlights the sweet, everyday moments that truly define the sibling bond, the moments you’ll recall for life.
The film opens with a father and daughter engrossed in watching a cricket match. The younger brother enters the home panicked and approaches his sister for help. The sister then comes to his rescue in a relatable slice of life, everyday scenario, encouraging her father to prepare to make his son a cricket star in the future.
The film narrates the beauty of this unbreakable bond while subtly integrating the fact that relationships are more important than any circumstances. Like in the film, the car hit by the brother is protected by reliance general insurance, and the subtly integrates features, such as instant video claim assistance and door-to-door pick-up and drop services, positioning the company as a reliable partner. Just like how siblings have each other’s back, Reliance General Insurance has our back, too, offering support and convenience at every step.
Conceptualised and executed by SoCheers, the film is promoted across digital and social media platforms.
Reliance General Insurance chief distribution officer Prabhdeep Batra commented, “With #BachaateRaho, we aimed to strengthen the emotional bond with our audience by associating Reliance General Insurance to the dependable and caring nature of sibling relationships. Just as siblings always have each other’s back, we are committed to being there for our customers during life’s health emergencies, reinforcing our promise to protect and support them every step of the way.”
SoCheers Films director Jitendra Hirawat said, “When we talk about Raksha Bandhan, we immediately resonate with our sibling bonds and the playful banter. We crafted a heart-warming ad film that captures a relatable sibling moment, mirroring the familiar bond we share with them. By subtly integrating Reliance General Insurance’s services, we draw a parallel between these small acts of care and the brand’s commitment to supporting its customers throughout life challenges.”

Amazon Ads maps 2026 as AI and streaming rewrite ad playbooks
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.
