    Taneira wraps the festive season in ‘The Gift of Pure Love’

    MUMBAI: Taneira, the ethnic wear brand from the House of Tata, is weaving emotions into every fold this festive season with its touching new campaign, ‘The gift of pure love’: a celebration of relationships, memories, and the timeless elegance of the saree.

    Rooted in the belief that true love should be felt, not just seen, the campaign highlights how a thoughtfully gifted saree can carry far more than aesthetic value, it carries intention, memory, and meaning. A Taneira saree is crafted with the purity of natural fabrics, the gentle shine of silk, and the soul of Indian handcraft traditions. It’s more than a gift, it’s an embrace.

    Through two emotionally resonant films, Taneira brings alive everyday stories: a husband’s quiet gesture, a sister’s heartfelt surprise, all wrapped in the grace of a saree. These vignettes aren’t about grand declarations, but about quiet, personal acts of love that make festivals truly special.

    “Our campaign beautifully captures the spirit of festive gifting and meaningful bonds,” said Taneira, chief sales and marketing officer, Somprabh Singh. “With the Miara collection, we’re offering not just sarees, but heirlooms of love and craftsmanship.”

    Alongside the campaign, Taneira launches its ‘Miara’ collection, a festive range designed for today’s woman, marrying traditional artistry with a modern twist. From delicate cottons to lustrous silks, Miara sarees start at Rs 6,499, offering versatility for every festive mood, whether as a cherished gift or a personal indulgence.

    Ogilvy South, executive creative director, Aarti Nichlani, summed it up and said, “These aren’t just pretty colours and textures. These sarees tell stories – honest, real, and deeply Indian. Just like the moments we’ve captured in the campaign.”

    In an era of fast fashion and fleeting trends, Taneira’s campaign is a reminder that some gifts never go out of style, especially when they come from the heart, stitched with meaning, and steeped in tradition.

     

  • 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.
