Reliance Jewels video shows how Rakhi brother makes up for her loss
MUMBAI: This August, India’s fine jewellery brand Reliance Jewels will complete a grand decade long run and is all set to celebrate its 10th anniversary on 15 August, 2017. The aim of these films is to resonate with every Reliance Jewels customer’s souls as the films capture moments from our customer’s lives recreating their stories. The campaign created by Kaleido Communications & the 1st Film in the series #ReshmaThakursMemorableMoment will be launched on digital platforms such as YouTube, Facebook & Instagram.
The brand will also have a campaign announcing special anniversary offer for their patrons starting 5 August.
It was two years ago when Reliance Jewels embarked on its new brand campaign lead by the thought “Be the moment” which advocated celebrating every moment like an occasion than waiting for an occasion to celebrate life. The brand ideology of “Be the moment” is taken a step further by celebrating the memorable moments of their customers that shaped Reliance Jewels the brand it is today for over 10 years. The campaign thought “10 Saal. Unginnat Pal. Har Pal Anmol” that is- “10 Years. Infinite Moments. Every Moment Priceless” expresses the brand’s journey over these years through customer stories that capture the moment behind their memorable occasions.
The story of #ReshmaThakur’sMemorableMoment played by Actors Tanvi Pallav- Sister & Anuj Rampal –Brother revolves around a heartwarming moment based on the festival of Rakshabandhan. This film captures unique bond between a girl who receives earrings as a gift on tying a Rakhi on her brothers wrist. The usual emotion a sister jumping with glee is not displayed, instead the girl is hesitant on receiving such a precious gesture. The brother then moves to stand in front a photograph on a wall. It is when we come to know that the girl has lost her real brother on the battle front and the Rakhi brother is making up for the loss. The moment that makes this occasion special is not because the Rakhi brother gifted her an expensive earring, but the fact that he never let her feel the absence of her real brother.
Reliance Jewels CEO Sunil Nayak said “Through this film, we at Reliance Jewels want to acknowledge the countless moments close to our customers hearts and it has been a part of. We aim at celebrating the beauty of those countless unique moments on our 10th anniversary. We are truly looking forward to tapping into the pulse of the population with our new campaign”
Kaleido Communications (Creative Agency) along with Red Arrow Productions (Production House) & Pooja Khemani (Director) has succefully weaved the Brand’s Customer Stories beautifully. (The details of the complete Team is below)
Kaleido executive director Kumar Ganesan says, “The highlight of this campaign are the stories and in their storytelling. We have spared no efforts in ensuring that they bring out the moments in the occasions. From the cast to art, music and finer production values, every film speaks for itself.”

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.
