Vega comforts young girls with #FlauntYourBefikar campaign
Mumbai: Grooming accessories and beauty brand Vega has come up with a #FlauntyourBefire campaign featuring Bollywood actor Ananya Pandey. The brand campaign was launched on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
Ananya’s zesty campaign reel spells out her #Befikar mantra reflecting a free-spirited and happy-go-lucky vibe centred on embracing one’s true self.
The brand tells young girls to be comfortable in their skin. “The campaign is all about owning one’s day and attitude by not getting swayed by perspectives catapulted at the speed of light. Rather it’s about celebrating the individual for who she is and what she stands for,” said Vega in a statement.
“The campaign strives to reinvigorate the equilibrium between the multiple roles played by women in their lives and living their true self,” commented Vega CMO Eiti Singhal. “It emphasises how women can be #Befikar version of themselves and define their ideal of beauty and be comfortable with it.”
“In a world that’s getting increasingly shadowed by opinions and outlook, it’s time to look within. What you have to prove to you, yourself. With #FlauntYourBefikar, we wanted to shift the needle to be confident and comfortable in your skin,” stated Liqvd Asia’s NCD Sunil Gangras. “We wanted to tell women to squash all expectations and live up to their own, in a unique, #Befikar way.”
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.
