This Dhanteras, Indriya turns every click into a shimmer of gold. It began as a vision, where heritage could meet the heartbeat of innovation.  Where the grace of gold could move, respond, and come alive in motion. On Hindustan Times, that story unfolds: Indriya by Novel Jewels reimagined through a digital masterpiece. A cursor that transforms into a gazelle, gliding with elegance.  A masthead that flips, mirroring brilliance in every frame.  An ad that expands into full-screen radiance, turning every scroll into celebration. Because when craftsmanship meets code, luxury doesn’t just shine,  it moves you. A story of gold, told through pixels.

Festive work that travels in India runs on human codes like // the soundscape (aarti bells, dhol, shehnai), // language switches (Hindi-English-regional in one breath), // small social truths (neighbourhood mithai politics, pani-puri debates, who lights the first diya) AI is phenomenal at the many, versions, sizes, feeds, speed, but the line people repeat at dinner comes from insight, not inference. The sweet spot in 2025 is simple: human core, machine scale, meaningful context. Pair AI’s efficiency with publisher intelligence: print for authority, premium digital/CTV for emotion, performance for closure, so technology serves the story, not the other way around.

Everything’s incremental now.” says Bhuwaneshwari Lakudwan, Assistant Manager, Display, Programmatic & Social at Assembly Global Bhuwaneshwari is featured in Beyond the Brief: Season 3, our agency-first series that pulls practitioner lessons from live festive campaigns and turns them into testable tactics.

The answers: follow audience shifts, craft messages that genuinely resonate, and design contest-or play-first mechanics that convert curiosity into verified intent. These are practical moves you can add to a brief this week.

Hey everyone! We're looking to bring on board a Regional Sales Leader for the West at HT Digital — someone who can lead with insight, empathy, and a true consultative mindset. The role spans our full-funnel ad solutions — from display and content to mid and bottom-funnel offerings — across the entire HT ecosystem. I’m keen to meet someone who already understands the digital advertising landscape in India, is well-connected with clients and agencies, and enjoys playing the role of a trusted consultant rather than a transactional seller. If this sounds like you (or someone you’d recommend), I’d love to connect. #Hiring #DigitalAdvertising #SalesLeadership #HTDigital #AdSales #MarketingSolutions https://lnkd.in/drSzyPsC
