Syska LED unveils ad campaign with Irrfan Khan
MUMBAI: Syska LED has launched its latest advertising campaign starring Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan. This campaign seeks to highlight Syska’s revolutionary move of introducing LED lighting in the Indian market few years ago and how since the brand has gone on to become a leading name in the LED light segment.
The advertisement is currently aired across popular TV channels and will also be aired on movie screens across the country.
Commenting on the launch of the new TVC, SYSKA Group chief marketing officer Amit Sethiya said, “Our latest TVC has been conceptualised keeping in mind Syska’s technology leadership in the LED lighting segment. Through our brand ambassador Irrfan Khan, we are trying to reinforce the message of Syska having the first-mover advantage in the LED lighting category. Additionally, we are driving home the message about how Syska as a brand is enabling consumers to shift from traditional CFL bulbs and embrace LEDs.”
Commenting on new campaign, IBD India Pvt Ltd chief creative officer Rahul Gupta said, “Irrfan has been Syska’s brand ambassador and voice of the company since its inception. His honest-to-goodness persona and matter-of-fact demeanor are qualities that resonate with Syska’s own belief of offering genuine high-quality products which are reliable and affordable.”
Syska as a brand strategically focuses on marketing and advertising. The company recently sponsored leading stand-up comedy shows such as Sony TV’s The Kapil Sharma Show, Zee Marathi’s ‘Chala Hawa Yeu Dya’ and Star Vijay’s ‘Kalakka Povathu Yaaru’. The group is also rapidly expanding and introducing new and innovative products under its LED lights, smart home devices, personal care appliances, and mobile accessories segment. In July 2018, Syska diversified into a new category by entering the wires and cables business and roped in Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador.
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.
