Banking on attention: The need for BFSI marketing to engage customers between UPI and Instagram

Banking on attention: The need for BFSI marketing to engage customers between UPI and Instagram

The financial services sector is at a pivotal juncture as India moves closer to its Digital Bharat vision, with the expectations of a generation of digital natives reshaping legacy institutions. The FINIXX Summit & Awards 2025, which has as its forward-thinking topic "Reimagining BFSI: Powering Digital Bharat Goals," put this change front and center.In order to examine the changing relationship between technology, trust, and consumer engagement in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) industry, a diverse group of marketing experts, digital strategists, and financial innovators convened for the summit.Experts discussed how rapidly changing consumer behavior is upending traditional marketing strategies in a fascinating panel titled "The Next-Gen BFSI Consumer: Understanding & Engaging Digital-First Audiences." They also discussed what it will take to foster trust, loyalty, and meaningful engagement in an increasingly app-first and attention-deficit world. The panel, which was presided over by Teamology Softech and Media Services Vice President of Growth and Strategy Lawrence Suchitha, included marketing directors from top BFSI institutions: VP of Digital Marketing at HDFC Bank, Aashir Allana AVP of Social Media Marketing at Tata Capital, Nikita Dilip Gupta SBI General Insurance's Head of Marketing and CSR, Rathin Lahiri Varun Mundra, Motilal Oswal Financial Services' Head of Media & Innovations Vishal Lohia, Hybrid Associate Director of Sales."The BFSI landscape has decisively moved from branch-first to app-first engagement," said Lawrence Suchitha, who opened the debate. Consumers of today need digital experiences that are quick, simple, and integrated—all while maintaining the transparency and trust that have traditionally characterized our industry. "The next-gen customer has never seen a passbook or stepped inside a branch," said Aashir Allana of HDFC Bank, emphasizing the point. They view the bank as an app rather than a physical establishment.Allana asserts that modern consumers evaluate their banking experiences by comparing them to Netflix, Amazon, and Zepto rather than other banks. "They want Zepto-level speed and Netflix-level personalization." Despite their impatience and impulsivity, they have a strong research bent. They expect the application procedure to take three minutes, but they will spend hours comparing credit cards. He pointed out that because of this behavioral mismatch, marketers must reach users "somewhere between Instagram and a UPI app."

As Q3 growth jumps 5.7%, Arthur Sadoun praises Publicis' AI-powered pace.

Building on its impressive organic growth of +5.7% for the third quarter of 2025 (Q3'25), Publicis Groupe has increased its prediction for organic growth for the entire year. The quarter's great performance outperformed the first half of 2025's high growth of +5.4%.The business has increased its forecast for organic growth in the full year (FY) 2025 to a new range of +5% to +5.5%. This represents an improvement over the original estimate of +4% to +5%. A number of factors, including consistent client spending (without any significant budget cuts or slowdowns) and growing demand for its AI-powered goods and services, underpin the decision to increase the outlook. Long-term scope development with current clients, a robust business environment for new ventures, and a more advantageous competitive environment are all important growth drivers.Arthur Sadoun, Publicis Groupe's chairman and CEO, "Q3 was yet another excellent quarter, exceeding forecasts, with no slowdown in customer demand.  At Publicis, we are proving that artificial intelligence is not a pipe dream but rather a current reality that is propelling our expansion. We are demonstrating once more how our distinct AI-powered methodology may help us acquire market share and establish ourselves as a Category of One.  We achieved organic growth of +5.7%, which significantly widened the gap with our counterparts by over 700bps2. In addition to not seeing any significant reductions in marketing expenditures, we also witnessed a surge in demand for our AI-powered goods and services. This was evident in our Epsilon-powered Connected advertising initiatives, which had high single-digit growth as a result of our capacity to use AI to link influencers, commerce, and paid advertising. Due to the growing demand for customized content, our AI production platform experienced double-digit growth. Additionally, Publicis Sapient maintained its favorable results for the second consecutive quarter thanks to our capacity to create agentic networks for clients that are looking to de-silo their own businesses.We anticipate that this upward trend will continue throughout Q4. Because of this, we are comfortable raising the higher end of our prediction to +5.5% for our 2025 organic growth guidance. Additionally, we are reporting that our already industry-leading margin has improved to just over 18% throughout the course of the year. With net new billings for the first nine months of the year already surpassing our 2024 total, we are now planning for 2026 because of our unparalleled new business track record. For the seventh consecutive year, we anticipate outperforming the industry the following year. I want to express my gratitude to our teams for their exceptional work in getting us to this point and to our clients for their ongoing trust.

A government agency in India invested millions in endorsing BJP election slogans.

A government agency in India invested millions in endorsing BJP election slogans.

The goal of the Central Bureau of Communication is to advance governmental initiatives. Rather than using catchphrases from Modi's party, the agency became the largest Google ad spender prior to the election.As the Indian election campaign got underway in November, a slogan created by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, began to acquire popularity.The governing party presented "Modi ki guarantee" (also known as "Modi's guarantee") as the widely popular prime minister's personal pledge to Indian voters in an effort to set itself apart from the opposition parties' obviously disorganized coalition. Using that phrase, the BJP started running Google ads in the third week of November.However, at the same time, a another organization began investing millions of rupees in a campaign that had a nearly identical name: "Modi sarkar ki guarantee" (the guarantee of the Modi government). Throughout the campaign's months-long run of videos, "Modi's guarantee" was frequently mentioned.In one such commercial, which aired on February 23, an actor who plays a young businessman tells a worried father, "Papa, there's Modi's guarantee," as a way to reassure him about his son's career decision. Modi ji has pledged to elevate India to the top among nations with the highest number of unicorn businesses. He states at the end with confidence that "every startup will start in India thanks to Modi's guarantee."These were the only ads that weren't from the BJP. They were a part of a campaign run by the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), the advertising agency for the Indian government, and were funded by Indian taxpayers. At least one additional campaign mimicked the style and phrasing of the BJP's election slogans, releasing a number of advertisements in March. The biggest opposition party in the nation, the Indian National Congress, complained to the Election Commission of India (ECI), the constitutional body in charge of conducting the elections, on March 22. The complaint stated that these CBC commercials breached election regulations by misappropriating public funds for the governing party's campaign. The amount of money the CBC spent on government ads that seem to match the BJP's campaign themes has now been made public by an Al Jazeera investigation. Critics claim these ads cast doubt on the ability of non-partisan organizations to maintain impartiality during the election. From November, when it began running regular ads on the internet platform, until March 15, the government's communication agency spent around 387 million rupees ($4.65 million) on Google AdWords.  

While he was away, Sanjay Leela Bhansalis Heeramandi ADs would film a single page in 12 hours. Actor Mark Bennington pondered Is this a joke

While he was away, Sanjay Leela Bhansalis Heeramandi ADs would film a single page in 12 hours. Actor Mark Bennington pondered Is this a joke

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is listed as the only director of the Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, with a few other directors receiving credit at the conclusion of each episode. Actor Mark Bennington, who portrayed the evil British officer Henderson in the show, disclosed in a recent interview that his aides would shoot for hours on end on days when Bhansali wasn't there in order to await the director's permission. He revealed that Bhansali would receive specific footage, which he would either accept or reject. However, on the days when Bhansali directed himself, scenes would be completed in three to five takes.During his first day on the Heeramandi set, Mark noted in an interview with Showsha that Bhansali wasn't there. They were emailing Bhansali clips, which I'm not sure he approved or disapproved of. They would merely email him the clips, not every clip. I'm not sure. Anyhow. We ultimately did fifteen to twenty-five takes for each arrangement. On a wide picture, it took about 19 takes. "Are you guys kidding me?" I thought. Is this a practical joke? I mistook it for a candid camera. There must be a joke in this. We are unable to perform that many takes. When we come to the close-up and there are two takes, I believed everything would be OK.

MeitY Secretary Indias AI Regulations Won	 Stop Innovation

MeitY Secretary Indias AI Regulations Won Stop Innovation

OVERVIEW According to S Krishnan, the government would prepare the legislation for artificial intelligence using the same methodology used to draft the DPDP Act. According to the MeitY secretary, India may have an advantage over other countries by enacting AI legislation later since it may examine and absorb the lessons from the mistakes made by others. The proposed AI legal framework is expected to be published by July of this year, according to statements made earlier this year by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the minister of state for MeitY.Artificial intelligence (AI) would be regulated by the Center so as not to inhibit innovation in the field, according to S Krishnan, secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).Before being made available to users on the Indian internet, all large-language models (LLMs), software that uses generative AI, artificial intelligence (AI) models, and algorithms that are being tested, in beta testing, or unreliable in any other way are required to obtain the "explicit permission of the government of India."On March 1, the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) released a late-night advisory—a first for the entire world. It requested that all platforms make sure that their use of AI, generative AI, LLMs, or any other kind of algorithm "does not permit any bias or discrimination or threaten the integrity of the electoral process."Friday's advise, though not legally obligatory, is "signalling that this is the future of regulation," according to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the union minister of state for electronics and information technology. "We are requesting that you (the AI platforms) abide by it as an advisory today."  

Weve always considered whats best for the team, Virat Kohli said in reference to MS Dhonis tactical skill prior to their IPL match.

Weve always considered whats best for the team, Virat Kohli said in reference to MS Dhonis tactical skill prior to their IPL match.

A picture can be interpreted or misinterpreted in a thousand different ways if it truly speaks a thousand words. It is well-known to Virat Kohli. An image of the Indian captain bending down in front of MS Dhoni during a 2016 World T20 match against Australia was posted on Twitter on Thursday along with the words, "A game I can never forget." unique evening. The rumors were circulating nonstop after this man forced me to run like it was a fitness test. Was that a sign that MS Dhoni would be retiring? The tweet gave the already-hot debate even more gasoline. It got so bad that Sakshi, Dhoni's wife, had to make a rare appearance on Twitter to try to stop it with a tweet of her own.Many believe that Dhoni's absence from the Indian dressing room since the World Cup in England and the ascent of young Rishabh Pant signal the beginning of India's most successful captain gradually fading out of the game, one year ahead of another T20 World Cup in Australia. On the eve of India's first Twenty20 match against South Africa, Kohli left the question open-ended.When asked if Dhoni will be a part of India's plans for the 2020 World T20, Kohli responded, "I think that when you decide to stop playing is an absolutely individual thing, and no one else should have an opinion on it." "Dhoni will be extremely, extremely valuable as long as he is available and plays," Kohli remarked.An instruction for Kohli The idea that Dhoni's tweet revealed where his career would be going in the near future was quickly refuted by Kohli. "There wasn't anything on my mind," said the man. I was at home when I usually posted a photo online and it made headlines. I believe that experience taught me that not everyone thinks the same as me," he remarked.

Hardiks sluggish over-rate ban will cause him to miss the opening IPL 2025 match.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, has been punished for his team's poor overrate in Friday's (May 17) IPL 2024 final match against the Lucknow Super Giants.Similar to the one imposed on Rishabh Pant earlier in the season, Hardik has been suspended for one match because this is the third time MI has been found guilty of the same offense. Hardik's suspension will, however, extend to the 2025 Indian Premier League since MI has already qualified for the competition and played its final league game last night.Regardless of where Hardik plays in the IPL 2025 after the huge auction, the suspension will remain in place. 50% of the match money, or INR 12 lakhs, has been penalized to the remaining members of the squad.Following his comeback to the team, Hardik had a dismal first season as the Mumbai Indians captain. Even more significantly, the five-time champions finished the season as the only team to finish with fewer than ten points, finishing in last place. He averaged just eighteen at bat.

Including a scoop of collagen every day in your routine to achieve flawless fitness and beauty? This is what to search for:

Including a scoop of collagen every day in your routine to achieve flawless fitness and beauty? This is what to search for:

Supplementing on collagen every day can improve your appearance and level of fitness. Here are some things to consider when selecting the ideal choice:Even though collagen supplements have become more and more popular in the cosmetics and wellness industries in recent years, a sizable portion of the population is still unaware of the benefits of collagen and how it can improve one's general health. For those who don't know, collagen is the most prevalent protein in mammals, making up 30% of all the protein in our bodies and 70–80% of the protein in our skin.One-third of the proteins in the human body are made up of the stiff, fibrous protein collagen, which is primarily composed of molecules arranged in long, thin fibrils that support one another and keep our skin, joints, and connective tissues robust, elastic, and healthy. Nevertheless, our body begins to lose 1% of its collagen annually in the mid-to-late 20s and early 30s when collagen production begins to decline.A low amount of collagen in the body can cause a number of problems, including weakening blood vessels, bone and muscle weakness, and joint pain and stiffness. Dr. Shareefa Chause, a dermatologist and cosmetologist at Shareefa's Skin Care Clinic, stated in an interview with HT Lifestyle that "most importantly, insufficient collagen levels can also result in skin issues like wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and poor wound healing."The dilemma is how to choose the best collagen supplement, as collagen is crucial for general health. Experts concur that with so many options available, selecting the best collagen supplement can be overwhelming. While type 1, 2, and 3 collagen supplements are commonly mentioned, there is no proof that these types of supplements benefit different body parts; instead, this is merely a marketing gimmick.The source of collagen must be identified, as marine collagen has the highest bioavailability and guarantees 1.5 times better absorption than collagen from other sources. Experts concur that bovine collagen might be less expensive, but they also advise you to take your dietary choices and any potential sensitivities into account before choosing a collagen source.Meanwhile, because collagen supplements are invariably sourced from animal sources, vegetarians have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to collagen intake. "That is not true anymore," says Bhavesh Sheth, founder of INJA Wellness, because pure-veg collagen is now sold in India in flavors like green apple, blackcurrant, and natural. It is also gluten-free and keto-friendly collagen that is designed for fitness, wellness, and beauty.Certain types of collagen promote healthy skin, hair, and nails; others guarantee youth and inner peace; still others are intended for joint health and muscle repair. Because they are simple to use, readily absorbed by the body, and have a quicker potency than other types, experts recommend collagen supplements in powder form.Additionally, they advise that it is critical to select collagen supplements that have been approved by experts and that ensure the highest standards of quality and the greatest possible outcomes. So, in order to get that glowing beauty and fitness, are you using a scoop of collagen in your daily routine?

A hit movie starring Salman, Aamir, and KRK is not a guarantee. Sehwag demands that Mumbai Indians release well-known players.

A hit movie starring Salman, Aamir, and KRK is not a guarantee. Sehwag demands that Mumbai Indians release well-known players.

Virender Sehwag believes that the Mumbai Indians, who are now bottom of the IPL 2024 points standings, may decide to bench both Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya for the upcoming campaign. With all ten teams free to keep any players they choose, the IPL 2025 super auctions are set for later this year. Given MI's disappointing season this year, it's possible that the team will join the league without Rohit and Hardik.Since MI's opening match of the season, Hardik, the team's new captain, has been completely out of it. He has amassed 200 runs and taken 11 wickets while doing little to improve. Conversely, Rohit had a great start to the IPL, smashing his second century, but he quickly faltered. The former MI captain's performance has declined to such an extent that Team India is worried about him ahead of the T20 World Cup. Additionally, Sehwag feels that Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are the only two players MI can now rely on for next year's IPL because both Rohit and Hardik are struggling with bad form amidst the whole captaincy transfer controversy.Tell me something, please. Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan together won't make a movie a success. Will it not? I take it you'll have to put on a show? Have a strong screenplay. In a similar vein, all these well-known figures will need to unite and play live. MI lost despite a century from Rohit Sharma. "Where are the remaining performances happening?" Cricbuzz was told by Sehwag."Ishan Kishan participated in every game of the season, but he was unable to go past the Powerplay. For MI, at this point, just two names are definite: Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav. The top two names will remain unchanged. And we'll see if it ultimately comes down to the third or fourth option."Tiwary and Sehwag click. Former Indian batsman Manoj Tiwary reiterated Sehwag's remarks, advising the MI team management to consider Bumrah or SKY for their future captain. While Suryakumar was named captain of a T20I series against Australia and in South Africa shortly after the World Cup last year, Bumrah has led India in three T20Is against Ireland and a Test match against England.With 20 wickets taken, Bumrah stands second in the Orange Cap standings, while Suryakumar has amassed 345 runs, including a century. Tiwary is certain that Rohit won't return for a second season, thus MI would be wise to invest in any of the two."Bumrah and SKY are the two players that I believe the Mumbai Indians will keep." No one outside of them, no outsiders either. Tim David has failed to live up to expectations. I would advise the management to name one of the two players as captain and to keep only Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. Seeing as how he seems to not want to be retained, I am not keeping Rohit either," Tiwary continued.
