Mumbai: Signify, the world leader in lighting, is thrilled to announce the launch of its Philips Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) website, a groundbreaking initiative that promises to revolutionize the way customers experience lighting. With an extensive selection of over 1000 consumer products across various categories, Signify India’s new platform, In.shop.lighting.philips.com, is designed to provide unmatched ease, convenience, and accessibility for its valued customers.

Festive Season Delights: As the festive season approaches, customers can look forward to exciting offers and promotions on the website.
Digital Success: Signify India has experienced substantial growth through digital platforms like Amazon, Blinkit, Myntra and Flipkart. The new D2C website, with its extensive range of products, is set to further enhance this growth as it complements the limited product offerings on these platforms.
Virtual store: Customers can look forward to a seamless shopping experience with the potential integration of virtual stores, enhancing the product exploration journey. At our Virtual Store, customers can delve into the details of each product. Learn about their features, materials, and the inspiration behind their designs.
Company Warranty: In recognizing the evolving landscape, the prevalent dominance of the market by Chinese imports, tends to be devoid of warranties and spares availability, significantly undermining the overall product quality. The allure of these products may be deceptive, as they often fall short of delivering the promised quality and longevity. This influx of substandard products poses a significant challenge to consumers seeking reliable and enduring lighting solutions. Signify’s commitment is to provide an alternative that stands in stark contrast to these challenges.
Signify India CEO Sumit Joshi shared his excitement: “We are delighted to announce our presence now on our own D2C website. Our Philips D2C website is a testament to our commitment to delivering superior lighting experiences. We have meticulously studied consumer behaviour, trends, and patterns to ensure unmatched customer satisfaction. Our way of working with modern trade concepts in the electrical industry has borne fruit, and we aim to replicate this success in the realm of e-commerce.”
With this groundbreaking E-Shop, Signify reasserts its commitment to pioneering innovation in the electrical and digital building infrastructure industry, setting new standards for customer satisfaction and convenience.

Instamart and Duolingo launch street spell check campaign for Instaprint
Duo the owl fixes signboard typos across cities to showcase instant printing.
MUMBAI: If spelling mistakes had a sworn enemy, it might just be a bright green owl with a printer. Instamart has teamed up with language learning platform Duolingo for a quirky nationwide campaign that turns everyday spelling errors into a public spectacle while promoting its instant printing service, InstaPrint. The playful activation takes aim at the many misspelled shop boards and public signs scattered across Indian streets. From “saloons” that promise haircuts rather than drinks to menus and posters peppered with punctuation mishaps, the campaign sends Duolingo’s mascot Duo on a mission to restore linguistic order.
Armed with Instamart’s instant printing feature, Duo prints corrected versions of the mistakes on the spot and pastes them over the originals. The result is a series of humorous street interventions that have quickly begun circulating on social media.
Photos and videos of the grammar correcting owl have been widely shared online, with amused users reacting to the unexpected spell check patrol. One user joked, “Ab ayega na maza bhidu,” capturing the internet’s delight at the unusual campaign.
Behind the humour lies a practical message. The activation is designed to showcase the capabilities of Instaprint, Instamart’s printing service that allows users to print documents and posters almost instantly.
The company says the feature is meant for everyday needs such as printing resumes, visa documents or last minute posters without the usual scramble to locate a print shop.
Instamart introduced Instaprint in 2025 across select metropolitan cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi. The service allows users to order printed materials directly through the platform, extending the quick commerce model beyond groceries and household essentials.
By combining Duolingo’s famously persistent owl with India’s street level spelling quirks, the campaign taps into the internet’s long running fascination with grammar mistakes while demonstrating a real world use case for instant printing.
After all, in a world full of typos, sometimes what you really need is a quick printer and a very determined language teacher.
