The Womb partners IGP.COM on global campaign to bring relationships closer
MUMBAI: IGP.com, one of India’s largest online gifting store—offering the best selection of curated gifts, flowers, cakes, and personalised products for all personal occasions and festivals to Indians around the world and in India, recently got The Womb on board as partners in its business and brand growth journey. The firm has a global footprint with almost half of its orders originating from outside of India and almost one-third of its orders getting delivered internationally to more than 100 countries across the globe.
The Womb partnered IGP.com to roll out its first multi-platform international campaign, for the upcoming festival of Rakshabandhan that celebrates the bond between a brother and a sister. The campaign was released across TV, digital as well as IGP.Com owned social media channels in India and international markets like USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Singapore.
IGP.com CEO and founder Tarun Joshi said, “Gifting is a huge thing in our country. People just love gifting for birthdays, festivals, anniversaries and just about any occasion. But when the near and dear ones are not in the same city, there is a certain inconvenience that comes in the way of gifting. This is where IGP comes in, as an enabler. To make the entire act of gifting easier by removing the inconvenience which distance brings in. Especially in today’s India, it is not uncommon for one to have their loved ones in faraway cities, be it any part of the world. And so, that’s IGP’s purpose, to simply make gifting to any part of the world easy and hassle-free.”
Commenting on the campaign, The Womb Communications co-founder Kawal Shoor said, “As the young migrate away from their homeland in search of prosperity and leave their dear ones behind, relationships feel the stress. Thankfully India has rituals like Raksha Bandhan in place that can keep the bonds strong. And now, modern, online brands like IGP are emerging to keep those rituals alive, and through that, reduce the emotional distances between people as they physically move apart.”
The Womb Communications co-founder Navin Talreja added, “India is a $30 billion gifting market and yet despite the advent of various e-comm portals there isn’t one that specialises in gifting. IGP.com has this opportunity and we intend to leverage with various pieces of occasion-based marketing. Rakshabandhan is our first campaign in making IGP.com synonymous with gifting in India and across the world. This film with the cultural angle of mooh bola bhai we felt would break the wall paperness of Rakhi advertising that has been done for years in India.”
The Womb Communications creative partner Suyash Khabya stated, “There are visual clichés in Indian festive advertising specially Rakhi. So, the attempt was to have something that would visually break the clutter and give the viewer a sweet surprise. The film has a certain charm that makes you want to watch it over and over. And a big thanks to Bob (the director of Good Morning Films) for making sure that the film was emotionally touching and didn't go 'funny'.”
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.
