Tokyo Olympics: INOX Group unveils new campaign to support Team India
Mumbai: As the official sponsor of the Indian Olympic Team, INOX Group on Tuesday unveiled the ‘Aayega India’ campaign to support and cheer Team India ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics slated to begin 23 July.
The campaign featuring boxers MC Mary Kom & Vikas Krishan Yadav along with Table Tennis player Manika Batra honors the unflinching and unwavering pride prevalent in the hearts of billions of Indian sports fans who firmly believe that ‘India will arrive’ at the 2020 Olympics. The campaign also pays rich tributes to the athletes’ resilience & the determined spirit to succeed against all odds.
“When it is about Olympics, there is a tremendous sense of pride, which gets awakened in the hearts and minds of every Indian,” INOX Group director Siddharth Jain said. “With our campaign Aayega India, we aim to take this emotion to an all-new level. It is an honor for Brand INOX to have athletes like Mary Kom, Manika Batra, and Vikas Krishan Yadav, featuring in its campaign, and we are grateful to them. With the anthem, we aim to let Team India know that the entire country takes pride in all their endeavors and stands with them as they set themselves up for this momentous event. We are proudly looking forward to the Indian contingent scaling new heights at Tokyo 2020.”
The ‘Aayega India’ anthem, conceptualised and developed by EBC Originals, is produced in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages and rolled out on the social media handles of INOX Group’s ventures, INOX Leisure Ltd, INOX Air Products, and INOXCVA.
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.
