Zyler.ai unveils smart marketing analytics for the post-cookie era
MUMBAI: Zyler.ai, has officially launched its innovative marketing analytics platform, designed to help businesses navigate the impending cookie-less digital landscape. With Google set to phase out third-party cookies by early 2025, Zyler.ai provides a cutting-edge alternative, enabling marketers to gain insights without relying on increasingly restricted tracking technologies.
Marketers currently juggle multiple analytics platforms, spending over six hours per week managing complex dashboards. Zyler.ai streamlines this process, consolidating various data sources into a single, intuitive interface powered by AI-driven analysis.
Zyler.ai growth lead & co-founder, Suryansh Jaiswal stated, “With 63 per cent of marketers lacking a clear strategy for a cookie-less future, businesses need solutions that are both simple and effective, without relying on intrusive tracking. Our platform reduces analytics effort and costs by up to 98 per cent, making advanced insights accessible to all, regardless of technical expertise.”
Zyler.ai offers a suite of powerful features to simplify marketing analytics. Its one-click AI analysis enables users to generate insights instantly from multiple data sources without complex configuration. The unified dashboard integrates data from Google Analytics, Meta Ads, LinkedIn, and other platforms, consolidating key metrics into a single, user-friendly interface. First-party data optimisation helps businesses maximise their owned data sources as third-party cookies are phased out, ensuring seamless continuity in analytics. Contextual Analysis shifts the focus from user-specific tracking to performance themes and topics, aligning with evolving privacy standards. Additionally, the platform’s self-serve integration allows users to connect data sources within minutes without requiring technical expertise.
Since its soft launch, Zyler.ai has seen rapid global adoption, attracting users from dozens of countries across six continents without major marketing expenditure. The platform’s debut on Product Hunt ranked in the top 10, highlighting strong interest from the digital marketing and analytics community.
Operating on a freemium model, Zyler.ai offers full-featured access at 79 pounds per seat, significantly undercutting enterprise alternatives that start at over 800 pounds per month.
As businesses brace for Google’s 2025 cookie deprecation, the need for alternative analytics solutions has never been greater. Zyler.ai addresses this challenge by focusing on actionable insights rather than data tracking.

Goafest 2026 set for 20–22 May in Goa
South Asia’s marquee advertising festival returns with ABBY Awards powered by One Show and promises bigger conversations on creativity and innovation
GOA: The advertising industry’s annual pilgrimage is locked in. The 19th edition of Goafest will take place in Goa from 20 to 22 May 2026, bringing together the biggest names in advertising, media and marketing for three days of ideas, networking and celebration.
Announced jointly by the Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI) and The Advertising Club (TAC), the festival will once again host the ABBY Awards powered by One Show 2026 — widely regarded as the region’s most coveted creative honours — recognising outstanding work across advertising and media.
Launched in 2006, Goafest has evolved into the industry’s marquee gathering, drawing more than 2,000 professionals each year. Beyond the awards, the event has become a forum for big debates, future-facing ideas and the occasional industry soul-searching.
Srinivasan K Swamy, president of the Advertising Agencies Association of India, said the festival remains a crucible for industry thought and collaboration. “Goafest has always been a melting pot of ideas, creativity and camaraderie. We aim to spark new conversations, fresh perspectives and fuel the future of advertising and marketing. It is an occasion for the industry to come together, celebrate excellence and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of our craft.”
Dheeraj Sinha, president of The Advertising Club, underlined the legacy of the ABBY Awards, now in their 57th year. “Goafest has always been synonymous with creativity, collaboration and industry excellence. The ABBY Awards powered by One Club continue to push boundaries and set new creative benchmarks year after year. In its 57th year, the awards continue to raise the bar, and this year’s edition will be even more inspiring, bringing together the brightest minds in the industry.”
For organisers, the festival has grown beyond a calendar event. Jaideep Gandhi, vice president of AAAI and chairman of the Goafest 2026 organising committee and founder of Another Idea, said the property has become a legacy for the industry. “In its 19th year, Goafest is no longer just an event — it is a legacy we are privileged to carry forward. It is a unifying force that brings together the various industry associations across advertising and marketing under one roof. I am deeply grateful to the stalwarts who envisioned this remarkable property, and it is heartening that some of them continue to be actively involved in its journey.”
The organisers promise that the upcoming edition will dial things up a notch. Mohit Joshi, co-chair of the Goafest 2026 organising committee and chief executive officer of Havas Media India, said the festival is gearing up for a bigger, more immersive format. “Over the past 18 editions, Goafest has evolved into a premier platform that celebrates creativity, innovation and the dynamic transformation of our industry. This year Goafest will be more impactful than ever. It will introduce new formats, immersive engagements and high-calibre discussions that have never been done before.”
“With a larger scale, an inspiring line-up of speakers and a focus on cutting-edge ideas,” Joshi added, “Goafest 2026 is set to redefine the way our industry comes together to learn, collaborate and celebrate.”
Co-hosted by the Advertising Agencies Association of India and The Advertising Club, the festival continues to position itself as South Asia’s premier advertising gathering — where ideas collide, creativity gets crowned and the industry takes a long, hard look at where it is headed next.
