DSM Fresh Foods (brand Zappfresh) reported strong H1 FY26 (ended Sept 30, 2025) results with revenue from operations rising about 43% year-on-year to Rs 9,585 lakhs. Profit after tax jumped roughly 3.7x to about Rs 903 lakhs from Rs 244 lakhs in the comparable prior period, with EPS at Rs 5.51 (non-annualised) versus Rs 1.49 earlier. The Board also approved the appointment of Mr. Akhil Gupta as Chief Strategy Officer (Senior Management Personnel); he brings over 22 years of cross-sector experience from Indiabulls, ICICI Bank, Moser Baer, Ramco and Luminous, spanning finance, treasury, operations and sales. Additionally, Ms. Surbhi Bansal was appointed Secretarial Auditor and M/s A H S G & Co. LLP was appointed Internal Auditor, both for FY 2025-26.
Sharp revenue and profit growth in H1 FY26 signals a strong operating momentum for the small-cap Zappfresh, and the addition of an experienced strategy head from large financial services groups suggests management is preparing for the next phase of scale. The new auditor appointments are routine governance steps and not expected to affect the stock materially.
