D-Link sees revenue growth amid boardroom change
MUMBAI: D-Link (India) Limited isn’t just keeping the world connected; it’s currently rewiring its own leadership circuits. While the company’s latest financial results show a high-speed data stream of rising revenues, the boardroom is dealing with a significant disconnection.
In a move that’s more about personal bandwidth than technical glitches, Ching Chun Yang has officially opted to unplug from her role as an independent director. Effective 5th February 2026, Yang submitted her resignation, citing a need to focus on increasing personal priorities and other professional commitments.
The company confirmed there are no material reasons behind her exit other than her desire to explore new horizons. Consequent to this move, she also ceases to be a member of any Board Committees.
Despite the boardroom shuffle, the financial signals remain strong. For the quarter ended 31st December 2025, D-Link’s standalone operations reported a revenue from operations of Rs 39,358.84 lakhs, a healthy jump from the Rs 32,972.84 lakhs recorded in the same period last year.
The broader group picture is equally vibrant:
. Total income (Consolidated): Clocked in at Rs 39,885.41 lakhs for the quarter.
. Profit for the period (Consolidated): The group netted a profit of Rs 2,669.36 lakhs.
. Earnings per share (EPS): The basic EPS stood at Rs 7.52 for the quarter on a consolidated basis.
Investors already received a bit of a cache boost earlier this year; the Board previously declared an interim dividend of Rs 6/- per equity share (300 per cent), which was paid out in November 2025.
It’s not all smooth sailing, however. D-Link is currently dealing with a Rs 611.49 lakh demand order from the Commissioner of Customs (Adjudication). The dispute involves royalty payments to its Taiwanese parent company, and while D-Link has already made a voluntary payment of Rs 100 lakhs, it is evaluating an appeal to the Cestat.
Furthermore, the implementation of the New Labour Codes on 21st November 2025 has led the company to recognise incremental estimated obligations of Rs 192.41 lakhs (standalone) for gratuity and leave encashment.
Despite the boardroom change and ongoing regulatory matters, D-Link’s strong financial performance signals resilience and steady growth. With revenues on the rise and strategic initiatives continuing, the company appears well-positioned to navigate challenges while maintaining its focus on connecting India and beyond.

Google completes $32 billion Wiz deal to boost AI and cloud security
Wiz joins Google Cloud but keeps multi-cloud support across rival platforms
NEW YORK: Google has completed its $32 billion acquisition of cloud security company Wiz, marking the biggest deal in the tech giant’s history and signalling a major push to strengthen security in the era of artificial intelligence and multi-cloud computing.
The New York-headquartered cybersecurity firm will join Google Cloud while continuing to operate under the Wiz brand. Crucially, the company will maintain support for multiple cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud, reflecting the reality that most large organisations run their systems across several cloud providers.
Google said the acquisition is designed to help organisations build and scale applications more securely as businesses and governments increasingly move critical systems and data to the cloud. At the same time, the rapid adoption of generative AI has introduced new cybersecurity risks, with attackers also using AI to launch faster and more sophisticated attacks.
Wiz has built a reputation for simplifying cloud security. Its platform maps entire cloud environments, identifying vulnerabilities, potential attack paths and misconfigurations before they can be exploited. By connecting insights from code, cloud infrastructure and runtime environments, it allows security and engineering teams to detect and fix risks early in the development cycle.
Bringing Wiz into Google Cloud will create what the company describes as a unified security platform capable of detecting, preventing and responding to threats across cloud and AI environments. The combined offering will also integrate Google’s own security capabilities, including threat intelligence tools, security operations platforms and the cybersecurity expertise of Mandiant.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the move reflects the growing importance of security as more organisations rely on AI and cloud technologies. “Keeping people safe online has always been part of Google’s mission,” he said, adding that the partnership will help organisations innovate with greater confidence.
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, said the goal is to make security an enabler rather than a roadblock for businesses building modern applications. He noted that the combined technologies will simplify the complex task of protecting hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
For Wiz, the acquisition opens the door to global scale while keeping its core philosophy intact. Co-founder and CEO Assaf Rappaport said the company remains committed to an open, multi-cloud approach and will continue supporting customers regardless of where their workloads run.
Over the past year, Wiz has expanded its platform to address emerging risks tied to AI applications, including tools that help organisations monitor AI usage, detect AI-specific vulnerabilities and secure AI workloads during runtime.
With Google’s infrastructure, artificial intelligence capabilities and security ecosystem now behind it, Wiz plans to accelerate development of its platform while continuing to serve enterprises, governments and start-ups operating across different cloud environments.
For Google Cloud, the acquisition adds a powerful piece to its security puzzle as competition intensifies among global cloud providers. For customers, it promises a future where building fast in the cloud does not have to come at the expense of staying secure.
