Reimagining brand storytelling: Amazon MX Player champions ‘Content Marketing 2.0' at Goafest 2025
Amogh delivered a compelling exploration of what's next for brands in the streaming era, challenging traditional ad formats and spotlighting the rise of intentional, content-driven engagement. With OTT platforms now reaching over 83% of India's connected audience, and 72% of viewers skipping conventional ads, Dusad made a persuasive argument for moving beyond the 20-second pitch to create deeper, more narrative-rich brand experiences.
'In an era of choice, viewers gravitate toward content that feels relevant, real, and reflective of their lives,' said Amogh. 'At Amazon MX Player, our content strategy is anchored in cultural authenticity and audience insight, which makes us a natural partner for brands looking to resonate in meaningful ways.'
The session offered a behind-the-scenes look into how Amazon MX Player builds its diverse slate — blending storytelling with sociology. From gritty tales of real-life resilience in Physics Wallah and Rakshak: India's Braves, to youthful narratives like Campus Diaries and Gutar Gu, the platform curates content with emotional and societal depth. Shows like Jamnapaar and Hustlers further emphasize themes of progress, identity, and aspiration — all fertile ground for authentic brand messaging.
Attendees were also treated to an exclusive preview of Rise & Fall, an upcoming reality series hosted by Ashneer Grover. Described as a fusion of survival grit and societal critique, the show signals Amazon MX Player's next step in creating brand-integrated, genre-pushing content experiences. With its dynamic format, Rise & Fall offers advertisers a new playground for curated, high-impact storytelling moments.
Amogh emphasized that the future lies in symbiotic partnerships, where brand objectives align organically with viewer expectations. 'When content and commerce converge with purpose, brands don't just get visibility—they gain memorability,' he noted. 'We've seen how thoughtful integrations across our originals amplify both viewer engagement and campaign performance.'
The masterclass reaffirmed Amazon MX Player's positioning not just as a content platform, but as a strategic partner for marketers navigating India's digital-first consumer landscape. With Content Marketing 2.0, the platform is paving a path where brand messages are not just seen—they're felt.

My mind feels 19, and so does my body: Jackie Shroff
Veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff continues to defy age and expectations as he takes on action roles with unwavering enthusiasm. Speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming action-thriller web series Hunter 2: Tootega Nahi, Todega, the 68-year-old star reflected on the physical toll of the genre, his enduring passion, and the importance of health and resilience. 'I've suffered fractures in my hand and leg, and even torn a muscle in my left hand. But by God's grace, I've grown tougher,' said Jackie. 'My mind still feels like I'm 19, and my body hasn't aged a day.' Recounting intense moments from the shoot, he recalled an incident where co-star Suniel Shetty was hit in the ribs with a real wooden prop. 'Action is such that it keeps your bones in check. You need to move. We've become so glued to our phones that our bones have stiffened,' he said, stressing the need to stay physically active. While Jackie did limited action in the series, he praised Suniel Shetty for doing 'even more' and added a heartfelt reminder: 'Take care of your health and look after your parents and loved ones.' Hunter 2 also stars Anusha Dandekar, Barkha Bisht, Anang Desai, Pramod Pathak, and Mazel Vyas. Directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra, the show is set to premiere on Amazon MX Player from July 24. Meanwhile, Jackie's latest film Tanvi The Great, directed by Anupam Kher, has been receiving praise. The story follows a 21-year-old girl with autism, who is inspired by her late father's dream of saluting the flag at Siachen and strives to join the army. Whether on-screen or off, Jackie Shroff proves he is still as vibrant and inspiring as ever.
