Tata CLiQ invites shoppers to its ‘House of Utsav’ Durga Puja online store
Mumbai: Tata CLiQ, an Indian online shopping platform, has launched a social media campaign for Durga Puja, celebrating the festive spirit and inviting consumers to shop for festive curations on the platform. The social media campaign showcases a star-studded collaboration with renowned Bengali actor Madhumita Sarcar and popular fashion content creator Sonali Mitra, capturing the joy and excitement of their invitation to Tata CLiQ’s ‘House of Utsav’ as they browse and shop the festive curations from the Durga Puja online store, offering an extensive range of products across categories like fashion, home, and beauty, all designed for the season’s grand celebrations.
The concept of home is closely tied to the festive season, where people gather, reconnect, and celebrate. Tata CLiQ introduces ‘House of Utsav’, a curated shopping destination for the upcoming festivities. It blends the cultural significance of festivals with fashion, offering ethnic wear, fusion styles, serveware, makeup, and home décor. The Durga Puja edit features curated looks across various categories.
The video features Madhumita and Sonali showcasing a range of styles available at the ‘House of Utsav’ Durga Puja store on the platform, from classic ethnic wear to contemporary fusion, highlighting the outfits they would wear on different Puja days. Set against the backdrop of Kolkata’s iconic landmarks, the video captures the joy of the festival, weaving fashion into its rich cultural narrative.
Tata CLiQ CEO Gopal Asthana expressed his enthusiasm about the campaign, “We are excited to introduce ‘House of Utsav’, a theme that celebrates the cultural and emotional essence of festivals. With the launch of this curated destination, our aim is to become the preferred platform for consumers shopping for fashion, home, and beauty this festive season.

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.
