Thought Bubbles expands portfolio with Bubble TV
MUMBAI: Thought Bubbles Advertising has launched its new video content creation arm Bubble TV. The new arm has begun operations with work on Ganeshotsav in the form of a festive promo for Zee Talkies.
To be headed by founder and chief creative Manoj Motiani, the outfit will create videos with message plug-ins woven around fun, humour, ideas, emotions, opinions, spoofs, even social messages.
The agency will be based out of Mumbai and currently has a team of four professional across design, craft and film-making functions.
“Bubble TV is an acknowledgement of the dramatic rise of mobile, web and social networks towards brand awareness, consideration, purchases, and loyalty. With the kind of reach, innovation, experimentation, and cultural influence, they are no longer are a support medium, they are THE medium. Again this calls for new fresh content for consumer engagement and talking to them in a way they like to be spoken to,” said Motiani who has worked with agencies like Euro RSCG (now Havas Worldwide), O&M and iB&W.
The central idea is to have brands use entertaining ways of on-screen consumer engagement on smart phones, tablets, social networks and other digital media.
Bubble TV is an open format idea which will develop as it goes along. The focus will be on providing interesting content to electronic channels / networks.
“We may also launch our own digital TV soon, or create brand messaging which is free from the rigidity of brand manuals to be more democratic with colloquial ways of brand connect,” adds Motiani.
Started in 2009, Thought Bubbles has worked for several clients like Donear Suitings, RR Kabel wires, Gadgetsguru.com, Franklin Templeton, Hex City builders, RIOT clothing, Indian Health Organisation, Jawed Habib Salon Singapore.

Hiili names Sanjay Hemady as country manager India
Media veteran to drive digital decarbonisation push
MUMBAI: Climate tech firm Hiili has announced its entry into India, appointing industry veteran Sanjay Hemady as India country manager to steer its growth in one of the world’s fastest-expanding digital markets.
Hemady, a familiar name across India’s media and consulting circles, will lead Hiili’s India operations from Mumbai. His mandate is clear: help Indian companies measure, manage and reduce the carbon emissions generated by their digital services.
Hiili offers a scientifically validated platform, certified by the UC3M-Santander Big Data Institute, that enables businesses to improve the efficiency of their digital infrastructure while cutting emissions. As organisations race to meet ESG targets, the company positions itself as a practical bridge between climate pledges and measurable action.
“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as country manager, India at Hiili,” Hemady said in a LinkedIn post, adding that the company aims to move beyond broad sustainability promises towards precise, science-based decarbonisation.
Hemady brings more than three decades of experience spanning print, television, radio and digital media. He has previously served as chief executive officer at HIT 95 FM, assistant general manager at CNBC TV18, and held leadership roles at MTV India and The Indian Express, among others. Most recently, he worked as an independent business consultant advising firms across media and technology.
With India’s digital economy expanding at pace, the environmental cost of data, streaming and online services is climbing quietly in the background. Hiili’s bet is that carbon efficiency will soon sit alongside cost efficiency in boardroom conversations.
For Hemady, the move marks a shift from selling airtime and ad inventory to championing climate accountability. If successful, Hiili’s India play could make digital growth not just faster, but cleaner too.
