Mumbai: Omaxe Group, North India’s leading real estate developer, sets yet another benchmark with the overwhelming success of its latest marketing campaign for Omaxe Chowk, the most premium organised shopping destination in the heart of the traditional market of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk. The campaign has garnered an extraordinary response from social media users, with over 11mn. views on Instagram and noteable and continuously increasing views on other social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube & LinkedIn in a short span of time.
The trending video shares a quick view of the essence of Old Delhi, offering diverse amenities from multiple genres in the heart-throbbing voice of the popular Indian actor and director Vijay Raaz. It depicts how every section of the city holds a unique story from the past and is soulfully cherished by visitors even today. The video features the introduction of Omaxe Chowk, a prominent organised retail zone set amidst the traditional market of Old Delhi, staying en route to our traditional and heritage values. The video depicts the introduction of an entirely modern structure in the city, ‘PuraniDilli Me Kuchh NayaSaa Hone Waala Hai’, that has already crossed more than 11 million views.
Omaxe Chowk, situated in the historic and bustling Chandni Chowk, is set to captivate the attention of shoppers and tourists alike. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, contemporary design, and a range of premium shopping stores, Omaxe Chowk has established itself as the ultimate shopping destination in the heart of the city. One of the key highlights of Omaxe Chowk is its breathtaking terrace, offering a scenic view of the entire Old Delhi. Visitors can soak in the panoramic vistas while enjoying their favourite cuisines at Dawatpur – City of Food (India’s Biggest Food Court).
Omaxe Ltd promoter & executive director Jatin Goel expressed his delight, saying, “We are thrilled to witness the incredible response to our latest campaign for Omaxe Chowk.

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.
