Vi rolls out AI/ML based ad-tech platform 'Vi Ads'

Vi, the telecom operator, has announced the launch of its own world class ‘Ad-Tech’ platform - Vi Ads – an AI/ML driven adtech platform, that gives marketers a programmatic media buying platform that is cutting edge and ROI focused.

The company said that digital revolution in India has led to innovation and significant growth in the ad-tech industry, thereby, also increasing the volume of investments in the industry. Generating content and programmatic media buying on customised platforms will be the new normal. As the digital adex juggernaut moves ahead unabated, Vi aims to participate as a major player in multibillion dollar Indian advertising industry. 

Riding on Vi’s deep data science technology, ‘Vi Ads’ will enable marketers to engage with the operator’s over 243 million subscribers through multiple channels like Vi-owned digital media- Vi App, Vi Movies and TV App, and traditional channels like SMS, IVR calls.

One of the key differentiators of Vi Ads is that it will be media agnostic and empower marketers to engage with Vi users on external media channels and publisher partners of Vi Ads.

Additionally, Vi Ads will offer a self-serve interface enabling marketers with full control of their campaigns from campaign set up, tracking campaign performance to driving campaign insights. Since Vi Ads is built to achieve full funnel campaign objective, be it awareness, consideration or purchase - it caters to advertisers looking to drive reach, generate leads or drive sales. The combination of advanced features and ease of execution will appeal to large agencies and SMEs alike.

Programmatic media buying has firmly taken route in India and its share has been increasing year on year, now standing at 42%, as per Madison Advertising Report 2022.

Avneesh Khosla, CMO, Vi, said, “With our programmatic platform - Vi Ads, we will address two of the biggest challenges faced by marketers today - authentic insights and enhanced reach. Firstly, it offers marketers the benefits of unique audience segments, interest groups and targeting parameters derived using Vi’s deep insights of our consumers built on opt-in data. Secondly, it allows advertisers to not only reach their chosen audiences over Vi’s own Digital Media like Vi App and Vi Movies and TV app, but also on external third-party programmatic media and traditional channels of SMS and IVR calls. This is a simple, easy to use and highly efficient solution for marketers to effectively reach out to the right target group with the most relevant messaging at any given point of time, while also providing a monetisation opportunity to Vi as we aggressively build and scale our digital assets.”

The Vi Ads Platform has been built in partnership with TorcAi, a global provider of audience infrastructure and programmatic solutions, which leverages advanced data sciences and machine learning to stitch together legacy marketing & advertising technology platforms with new breed tech.

Rohit Verma, CEO TorcAi Digital, said, “This partnership, and the development of the Vi Ads platform, will enable Vi to connect their vast stores of customer insights with advertisers, and publishers, to deliver the right message, at the perfect time. We look forward to a long relationship with Vi and welcome the opportunity to deliver world-class products and technologies that will continue to revolutionise the way data is used to better engage with consumers across an ever-evolving digital backdrop.”
