Tata AIA partners with its consumers to make them“HAR WAQT KE LIYE TAIYAAR”
Mumbai: Tata AIA Life Insurance (Tata AIA), one of India’s leading life insurance companies, has launched its new brand positioning theme, ‘Har Waqt Ke Liye Taiyaar’. The new theme highlights its focus on partnering with its consumers through diverse solutions and enabling them to lead a fikar-free life. The new positioning expands the brand’s focus on protection, effectively conveyed by the earlier theme of ‘Rakshakaran Ki Reet’. It thus enables Tata AIA to become a lot more relevant and add value to consumers across the many special moments in their lives.
The new positioning was finalised after multiple consumer research exercises that captured the macro trends as well as targeted surveys to gauge response to specific positioning options developed. ‘Har Waqt Ke Liye Taiyaar’ stood out as the preferred choice for most of consumers across geographies, gender, age groups etc. It especially resonates with the young and middle age groups. It is perceived as lively, action-oriented, and positive and projects a ‘with you’ attitude. Most importantly, the fact that ‘Har Waqt Ke Liye Taiyaar’ has been crafted in Hinglish and 6 other languages, the connection it establishes with people from different regions of Bharat is very encouraging.
To deliver this new brand theme, Tata AIA invited creative ideas from multiple agencies, eventually shortlisting the creative approach shared by Ogilvy India. The campaign centers around its Brand Ambassador, India’s legendary athlete Neeraj Chopra. In an unusual storyline, Neeraj is seen in multiple avatars of Fortune Tellers. They are ranting about losing business since consumers are now far free about their future with Tata AIA Life Insurance solutions. The creative has a tone of humour to it and beautifully conveys the brand’s message of empowering its consumers to be always prepared and fulfil their aspirations, while Tata AIA has their back. A consumer survey conducted post-release of the campaign shows 96 per cent of the 500 respondents really liked/ loved the campaign’s creative and messaging.
Commenting on the new brand philosophy/theme, Tata AIA chief marketing officer Girish Kalra said: “‘Har Waqt Ke Liye Taiyaar’ is a clear, impactful and inspiring theme that effectively communicates our focus on partnering with our consumers, enabling them to lead a fikar-free life. It resonates with our endeavour to offer innovative insurance, wealth creation, wellness and retirement solutions coupled with ‘best in class’ service to our consumers, always.”
Girish adds, “The creative is quite unique since it showcases our Brand Ambassador, Neeraj Chopra, in a ‘never seen before’ avatar. Our association with Neeraj over the last two years has been very exciting and fulfilling for both partners. We are committed to building on this further in the years to come. He is an inspirational personality, rooted in his behaviour and an amazing human being.”
Ogilvy India CCO Sukesh Nayak added, “Tata AIA’s unique offerings are designed to keep people ‘Har Waqt Ke Liye Taiyaar’. Building on this platform, the campaign takes a tongue-in-cheek view of how fortune-tellers would react to a world in which everyone is fikar-free for their future – thanks to TATA AIA’s life insurance plans. And who better to bring this alive than an elite athlete like Neeraj Chopra for whom being prepared makes all the difference. The country has time and again seen Neeraj’s talent with the javelin, but in this campaign, we hope his masterful acting – pulling off 4 different avatars, will wow audiences.”
To promote the new brand theme campaign, TATA AIA has taken a multimedia approach focusing on OTT, TV and music Apps. The brand has tied up with Disney Hotstar and will be displaying the campaign creatives more than 500 million times during the India-played matches as well Semi-finals and finals of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The campaign will also be telecast on 25 TV News channels in seven languages across 14000 ad spots spread over a period of 45 days. Additionally, the brand has also allied with Jio Saavn for video ads to be played with song lists.
Tata AIA Life Insurance is a leading brand in the market. It offers diverse solutions including Term Insurance, Guaranteed Income plans, and health and wellness solutions as Retirement products for a diverse set of consumers including Women, HNI, NRI, MSME, and pre-retirees across the length and breadth of India.
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.
