Senco Gold & Diamonds celebrates Durga Puja with Gossip campaign
Mumbai: It’s that time of the year when people across India, especially Bengalis, travel back home to be together with their loved ones and to celebrate the biggest festivity of the year – the Durga Puja. It’s the time of homecoming not only for Goddess Durga but for non-resident Bengalis too. It’s also the time to dress up and celebrate the festive spirit.
In keeping with this spirit, Senco Gold & Diamonds, a leading pan-India jewellery retailer with a legacy of over five decades, announced the launch of a new Durga Puja campaign to promote its festive collection under its Gossip brand of fast-moving, fashionable and easy-to-wear silver jewellery.
The new campaign film captures the homecoming spirit and passionate exuberance of Bengalis during Durga Puja, highlighting the perfect blend of tradition and modernity that is reflected in the celebrations as well as in the jewellery designs. The campaign film follows a trendy young woman who lives and works in a different city, but comes home to Kolkata during Durga Puja to celebrate her Bengali roots, bringing with her Senco Gold & Diamonds’ Gossip jewellery as presents for her family members with a memorable music in the background which is a refreshing take on a classic Rabindra Sangeet.
Senco Gold & Diamonds director and head of marketing & designs Joita Sen said, “Durga Puja is more than just a festival, it is an occasion which unites Bengalis across India. The beauty and the spirit of Durga Puja is such that it is best enjoyed when spent together with families and friends. Our Gossip campaign and collection is dedicated to all those daughters and women who would be reuniting with their families and loved ones, coinciding with Maa Durga’s descent to Earth.”
Bang On Content director and cinematographer Piyash Ghosh said, “Making a Durga Puja film is always a joy, especially when it’s for a brand like Senco Gold & Diamonds, which always encourages us to push the boundaries of storytelling & creativity. As an artist, it is a pleasure to showcase products that celebrate artistry, while capturing the spirit of our favourite festival!”
To add to the festive spirit, Senco Gold & Diamonds has the following on offer for its customers: –
● Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer – Customers can buy three and get one piece of jewellery absolutely free (lowest price free) on the Gossip range.
● Making charges discount – Customers can avail 10 per cent discount on making charges on Silver jewellery items
These offers will be available at all Senco Gold & Diamonds showrooms and on its online platforms sencogoldanddiamonds.com and mygossip.in
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.
