EC requires pre-certification on all platforms and tightens regulations on digital ads ahead of state elections.
With the announcement of the Assembly election schedule for Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry, as well as by-elections in six states, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has implemented a more comprehensive regulatory framework to control political advertising, emphasizing digital platforms, transparency, and the control of misinformation.A pre-certification requirement for all political advertisements in electronic and online media is at the heart of the directive. The action is a reflection of the Commission's effort to stay up with the quickly changing political landscape, where voter perception is now significantly shaped by social media amplification and digital outreach.Before distributing commercials, all political parties, candidates, and affiliated organizations must first receive approval from the Media Certification and Monitoring Committees (MCMCs), according to the new regulations. This holds true for a variety of digital channels, such as social media platforms, e-papers, bulk SMS, voice messaging, and public audio-visual displays, in addition to more conventional electronic media like radio and television.While recognized political parties can apply for certification through state-level committees, candidates and individuals must apply to district-level MCMCs. To examine disputed rulings, an appeals process has also been established, with each state's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) serving as its head. The Commission has effectively extended regulatory authority deep into the digital ecosystem by making it plain that no political advertisement may be published or distributed on internet-based platforms without prior approval.In addition to certification, MCMCs have been assigned to monitor suspected "paid news" situations more closely, which has long been a problem in Indian elections. When content is discovered to be promotional but presented as editorial, the committees are supposed to keep a careful eye on media outputs and take appropriate action. Candidates are now required to disclose all official social media accounts in their nomination papers as part of a concurrent push for transparency. In online campaigning, where unofficial or proxy accounts have frequently been used to reinforce narratives without credit, this rule aims to ensure traceability and responsibility.

IPL 2026 Cultural Toolkit for Brands Folk Frequency Releases
BARC India and Nielsen have jointly announced the launch of BARC | Nielsen ONE Ads, a first-of-its-kind cross-media advertising measurement solution that combines digital and linear television data into a single, unified framework, marking a significant milestone for the Indian advertising sector. The absence of a unified, single-source view of campaign effectiveness across screens is a persistent problem in the advertising ecosystem that the new approach seeks to solve. In order to maximize media spending, marketers and agencies need more integrated measuring solutions as media consumption continues to split across platforms and devices.BARC | Nielsen ONE Ads integrates Nielsen ONE Ads' digital measuring capabilities with BARC's linear television viewership statistics. Advertisers can assess actual campaign reach and frequency across the whole media landscape thanks to the platform's deduplicated view of audiences across various screens, including Linear TV, Connected TV (CTV), Mobile, and Computer/Desktop. JioHotstar will be the first platform to use the framework, starting with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup India & Sri Lanka 2026. The partnership is a major step toward measuring premium internet and television content across platforms. Further industry-wide cross-screen coverage may be possible in the future with further involvement from other broadcasters.

How CTV can prevent repeating the ad errors of linear TV for living room monetization
Connected TV live sports are about to enter a crucial period of recalibration. The medium is plagued by an old broadcast reflex: more advertisements equal more money, despite its promises of scale, accuracy, and living-room supremacy. A fundamental concern for the ecosystem is raised by the growing need to profit from every stop as live matches draw enormous concurrent audiences. To what extent can ad loads be increased before fandom becomes transactional and viewer immersion breaks down? Tolerance is a delicate currency in an environment where control and choice are paramount. This unique research explores what sustainability actually means during live sports by bringing together voices from the CTV, ad-tech, platform, and agency sectors. Beyond simple inventory counts, topics like experience design, temporal intelligence, creative ecosystems, and attention economics are covered. The emphasis is on creating a model where monetization does not come at the expense of loyalty, taking into account factors like the unpredictable nature of live broadcasts and the potential to increase interaction after the final whistle. The fundamental conflict is obvious: how well the ecosystem learns to use the screen, rather than how much advertising it can accommodate, will determine the direction of CTV sports in the future.

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
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.
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.

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.

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?

New Delhi: The Supreme Court is now scrutinizing other sponsors and advertisers of dishonest food and health product ad campaigns, after Patanjali.Advertisers shall submit self-declaration forms certifying their compliance with cable TV laws and advertising standards prior to airing adverts, according to a bench made up of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice A. Amanullah that declared this on Tuesday. It stated that before the advertisements air, these statements had to be filed to the Broadcast Seva webpage.Additionally, it forewarned that promoters of false goods and services, such as celebrities and influencers, would be held equally accountable.The consumer affairs ministry was ordered by the court to set up a system that would allow advertisers to submit self-declarations for print media ads in four weeks.The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) took action against deceptive or fraudulent advertisements, especially those that pertain to food and health, and the court requested that the ministry provide a new affidavit detailing these steps.

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.
