Mr. Hardik Joshi was appointed as the new Company Secretary and Compliance Officer (KMP). Smt.

Likely market impact

Strong quarter with significantly higher profits driven mainly by investment gains rather than core media operations, which is worth noting for sustainability. Shareholders on the record date of August 22, 2025 will be eligible for the Rs. 2.50 final dividend. Management continuity is preserved with the promoter-led leadership continuing and a smooth KMP transition at the secretarial level.
