  • Influence, inbox, impulse buy: Meta’s new-age retail mantra

    Influence, inbox, impulse buy: Meta’s new-age retail mantra

    MUMBAI: The good old kirana might still stand, but what’s driving shoppers to the shelf is now happening on screen. A new Meta-commissioned study by GWI has revealed just how deeply influencers, reels, and dms are reshaping retail habits across India.

    According to the survey — conducted among 2,548 Indian internet users aged 16–64 — nearly eight in ten shoppers discover new products via social media, with a staggering 96 per cent of that discovery happening on Meta’s platforms, namely Facebook and Instagram.

    “Indian shoppers today are social-first, mobile-first, and video-first irrespective of whether the purchase happens offline or online” said Meta India director, e-commerce & retail, Meghna Apparao, “With consumers increasingly relying on Reels, messaging, and influencer content to discover and evaluate products, offline retailers have an opportunity to reach their customers across multiple touch points simultaneously and harness the power of our platforms to build unique online and phygital experiences that also move metrics across the funnel.”

    Even shoppers physically browsing aisles are scrolling first — using social media to discover, research, and decide, often before they even set foot in a store. Retail displays may still exist, but the real pitch now happens on feeds.

    Short-form video is turning scrolls into sales. Around a third of users reported purchasing products they saw in 2–3 minute brand videos or reels, especially in premium and luxury categories, where visual storytelling has a strong influence.

    Influencer clout continues to soar. Six in ten shoppers follow national influencers, whose opinions now weigh heavily on both what to buy and where to buy it from — online or offline. Their reach is no longer just virtual; it’s walking customers right into stores.

    Meanwhile, WhatsApp is becoming the new storefront. Nearly 60 per cent of users said they are likely to purchase a product after seeing an offer on the messaging app — making it a silent but powerful sales channel.

    In step with these shifts, Meta has launched new omnichannel advertising tools designed to bridge the digital-physical divide. These enable brands to not just chase clicks but track real-world impact — from boosted footfall to ringing tills.

    Tanishq CMO Pelki Tshering said, “We’ve always believed in meeting our customers where they are — both online and offline. Meta’s solutions like Click to WhatsApp (CTWA) have helped us in that journey. By combining conversational commerce with tailored messaging, we’ve seen over 14x offline ROAS. What’s even more exciting is the potential of Meta’s omnichannel ads — allowing us to drive both online and in-store sales through a single, unified campaign. As one of the first to test the solution with offline CAPI, we’re seeing a 40% jump in ROAS for online purchases and an improvement in offline purchases. Meta’s retail solutions are helping us not just drive omni sales — but truly connect with our customers, wherever they are in their buying journey.”

    Taneira head of marketing  Aishwarya Omprakash, “In our pilot campaign utilising Meta’s omnichannel ads, we observed a significant boost in performance, achieving 3.5x higher purchase conversions and 4.3x higher Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) compared to campaigns optimized solely for purchases. This encouraging outcome reinforces the value of a multi-touchpoint strategy, and we’re excited to take this experiment further in the coming year.”

    For Indian retailers, the message is clear: to win offline, think online first — especially if you’re not in the reel game yet.

  • All that glitters floats as Tanishq debuts 40-foot holographic showcase

    All that glitters floats as Tanishq debuts 40-foot holographic showcase

    MUMBAI: Mumbai’s skyline got a shimmering makeover and this time, it wasn’t from the stars. In a dazzling fusion of tradition and tech, Tanishq lit up Bandra Bandstand with a 40-foot holographic projection that brought its new Kundan Stories collection to life. The towering display, India’s tallest of its kind, mesmerised passers-by with floating filigree, mid-air meenakari, and a jewellery showcase like no other.

    The large-scale outdoor activation, executed in partnership with Laqshya Media Group, wasn’t just another billboard campaign. It was a storytelling spectacle in 3D light, where ghungroos glimmered mid-air and delicate kundan motifs pirouetted above the crowd all thanks to Holo Mesh Projection Technology. Think laser light show meets heirloom artistry.

    Tanishq chief marketing officer Pelki Tshering said, “At Tanishq, every piece of jewellery is a story shaped by the hands of our karigars and inspired by the Tanishq woman. This season of new beginnings, our Kundan Stories collection brings heritage and modern elegance together, celebrating craft from the beauty of takkar ka kaam to the delicate lace of filigree. And now, we bring these stories to life with India’s tallest Holo stand—an immersive, one-of-a-kind tribute to intricacy, craft, and the jewellery that adorns the modern Indian woman.”

    Laqshya Media Ltd COO Amarjeet Hudda added, “This was a chance to do something the industry had never attempted before. Tanishq gave us a full creative room, and the result is something that goes beyond regular brand launches. It’s storytelling in mid-air. For us at Laqshya, it’s a proud milestone in blending tech, media, and emotion.”

    “The activation uses Holo Mesh Projection Technology, where a translucent mesh acts as a nearly invisible canvas for high-powered light mapping. Suspended in open space, it creates a surreal illusion where each design detail from ghungroos to flowing filigree appears to hover and move. The visuals were set to a specially composed sound design, turning the skyline into a moving story of craftsmanship and beauty. Every element was custom-built to perform in outdoor conditions, making it a true feat of execution,” said Inventech CEO Sommnath Sengupta.

    The installation was more than just a visual delight. The visuals were paired with custom-composed audio, transforming Mumbai’s breezy promenade into an open-air theatre of sparkle and sound. From tasselled necklaces to talaf-inspired motifs, each element was designed for the sky and for smartphones, as awestruck onlookers captured the show on social media.

    Timed with Akshaya Tritiya and wedding season, Kundan Stories dives deep into India’s rich jewellery traditions from die-stamping to pearl bunching with each piece demanding over 200 hours of painstaking craftsmanship. But while the collection honours age-old artistry, the campaign launches it in an entirely new idiom.

    With this bold activation, Tanishq has turned jewellery into theatre, blending cultural memory with cutting-edge innovation. In doing so, the brand hasn’t just launched a collection it’s set a new benchmark for how stories of heritage can shimmer in the digital age.

    Tanishq unveils its festive campaign ‘Nav-Raani’

    Mumbai: Indian jewellery brand – Tanishq has launched its festive campaign ‘Nav-Raani’ with a film directed by international filmmaker Mira Nair, marking her first Indian TV commercial. Conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, the campaign celebrates modern women, portraying them as “queens” who embody grace, strength, and confidence.

    The Nav-Raani collection features intricately handcrafted jewellery, merging traditional designs with contemporary flair. Set against a Diwali backdrop, the film showcases women in festive moments, wearing the collection to enhance their elegance and power, reflecting their ability to balance family and professional life with ease.

    Tanishq CMO Pelki Tshering said, “This Diwali, we are excited to bring to you ‘Nav-Raani’ – royal jewellery for modern-day queens. In true Tanishq tradition, our campaign celebrates the brilliance of women who wear their grace, warmth, and elegance like a crown, effortlessly winning hearts and shining in every aspect of their lives. It reflects Tanishq’s enduring belief that every woman is a modern queen, deserving of jewels that mirror her inner beauty and strength. Through her deeply personal and nuanced storytelling, Mira captured the essence of Tanishq and modern royalty in a truly compelling manner.”

    Speaking about the campaign, Lowe Lintas president (creative) Vasudha Misra added, “The age of royalty may well have set in India, but if you look closely, you will still find many queens ruling, nurturing and expanding their kingdoms. These are the Nav-Raanis that Tanishq seeks to celebrate through this campaign. Queens who might not be at their resplendent best every day of the year. But come Diwali, she adorns herself with the jewels that befit her inner beauty and strength. The grand empress of cinema, Mira Nair, has infused each sequence with splendour of course, but also with a personal, intimate touch that makes each woman in the film, identifiable to every woman who’ll watch them.”

    Tanishq has consistently connected with women through campaigns that go beyond jewellery, reflecting their lives and stories. The latest campaign reinforces the brand’s belief that every woman is a queen, deserving of jewellery that reflects her strength and beauty. As Diwali approaches, Tanishq encourages women to embrace their inner Nav-Raani and adorn themselves with the season’s unique jewels.

  • Tanishq’s new film celebrates equal partnership in marriage

    Tanishq’s new film celebrates equal partnership in marriage

    Mumbai: Rivaah by Tanishq, a wedding jewellery destination from the house of TATA, launches a heart-warming campaign that celebrates the modern bride who charts her narrative. conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, the campaign highlights her progressive mindset, and beliefs, and how it holds for her wedding as well. Marking a new milestone, Tanishq is launching its first-ever 3-minute-long multilingual film on Television, representing India’s diversity and adding to the brand’s legacy of compelling and expansive storytelling. This multi-starrer film features actors from various regions, further emphasizing Tanishq’s deep connection and resonance with diverse audiences from across states in India.

    For Marriages Crafted by You is the essence of this campaign, underscoring the idea that the modern bride plays an active role in shaping her wedding journey. Today’s bride is a trailblazer, merging the old with the new, placing herself at the heart of her story. Embracing traditional values and modern upbringing in equal measure, she steps into this new chapter with her groom as an equal partner. Together, they share the journey of adaptation and change, thus reflecting the shifting landscapes of modern relationships and marriages. The film celebrates not just the warmth and relationships shared by the bride and her family but also shines a spotlight on the bride’s agency in navigating her wedding journey. In true Tanishq style, the storytelling remains charming, endearing, and filled with emotion, continuing the brand’s legacy of crafting heart-warming narratives with a modern, progressive take on traditional values and this time in the wedding context.

    This film, through a poignant yet subtle narrative, makes a bold and powerful statement and challenges expected societal norms. As the bride reflects on the changes marriage brings forth, she poses a question: why should the responsibility of adapting and adjusting fall solely on her? The film then reveals the groom as an equal partner, ready to share the responsibility and navigate their new life post-marriage, together. Through a light-hearted yet emotional tone, the film thus portrays marriage as a beautiful union of equals, where both partners embrace change. It establishes the deeper message of equal marriages and focuses on the new-age bride charting her own narrative.

    As the guiding force of her wedding, the bride takes her loved ones through a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, crafting a day that reflects her unique journey – for marriages crafted by you, for you.

    The narrative features brides and jewellery from across major regions of India and highlights not only the rich diversity of traditions and cultures but also the shared emotions of love, understanding, and playful banter between the bride and her family.

    The film features an ensemble cast including Tanishq’s brand ambassadors, Nayanthara for the Southern region and Mimi Chakraborty for Bengal, as well as the acclaimed veteran actor Shobha Khote.

    Tanishq CMO Pelki Tshering said, “Rivaah by Tanishq sees marriage through the eyes of modern brides from regions across India. Today, with the evolving dynamics of relationships, our brides play an active role in crafting marriages that are uniquely theirs. Our campaign highlights the significance of equal partnerships, where both individuals embrace change together. Through this narrative, we celebrate every bride’s ability to create a marriage that reflects her identity, her path, and the future she and her partner will build together.”

    Speaking about the campaign, Superfly Films founder & director Kopal Naithani said “The new Rivaah film raises the question of what modern marriages should look like. Traditionally, the burden of change and adjustment in a marriage has often been placed on the bride, reflecting societal expectations of women. However, the Rivaah film reimagines these norms by suggesting that the responsibility of change should not rest solely on the bride. Instead, it presents a more balanced and equitable vision of marriage, emphasizing mutual respect and shared responsibility.”

    Lowe Lintas head of creative  Arpan Bhattacharyya Bangalore said, “A marriage is a new chapter for all involved. Why then should the onus of changing, adapting, and compromising rest with the woman and her side of the family? A marriage of equals should mean that both sides take up the responsibility for change. Equally. That’s the message this campaign is designed to convey.”

    Rivaah by Tanishq’s latest collection features stunning wedding trousseaus for all regional brides, beautifully balancing traditional charm and contemporary appeal. For brides in metro regions, the collection showcases some stunning modern polki and diamond designs.
