India’s Broadband Surges 0.37 per cent to 1007 Million
Telecom adds 8.53 million users; total subs hit 1306 million.
MUMBAI: Clouds may part for some, but Amagi Media Labs just turned its own silver lining into a proper gold rush. The cloud-native media-tech specialist delivered a blockbuster December quarter, posting a consolidated net profit of Rs 30.94 crore for the three months to 31 December 2025, a massive 292 per cent leap from Rs 7.89 crore a year earlier, according to the results filed on 11 February 2026.
Revenue from operations jumped 22 per cent year-on-year to Rs 403.81 crore (from Rs 330.02 crore), while total expenses rose more modestly to Rs 379.93 crore (up from Rs 335.83 crore). Employee benefits expense, the biggest chunk, climbed to Rs 204.13 crore from Rs 175.72 crore.
The real operating magic showed in adjusted EBITDA, which hit Rs 58 crore, a clear sign that as top-line scale kicked in, margins widened nicely thanks to improved leverage.
For the nine months to December 2025 the picture was even brighter: revenue reached Rs 1,108.64 crore and net profit stood at Rs 37.41 crore, swinging impressively from a Rs 58.11 crore loss in the same period of the previous year.
Amagi Media Labs managing director and CEO Baskar Subramanian called it a “strong quarter” with “meaningful profitability expansion”, pointing out that higher revenue naturally flowed through to better adjusted EBITDA and bottom-line numbers.
Since its 2008 founding, Amagi has built a global footprint helping media and entertainment companies launch, distribute and monetise live and on-demand content across cable, OTT and FAST channels, all without the heavy lifting of traditional broadcast gear.
The commercial momentum, however, has yet to fully translate to the share price. Amagi listed on 21 January 2026 after its IPO priced at Rs 361 per share, but the stock opened weakly at Rs 317 on the BSE, a 12.19 per cent discount to the issue price.
Still, with profitability accelerating and the cloud-streaming world only getting bigger, investors may soon find the debut dip looks more like a launch pad than a landing. In a sector where content is king, Amagi appears to be quietly claiming its throne.

KKR sixes to power EV charger rollout under VIDA campaign
Cricket meets clean mobility as big hits spark India’s charging growth
NEW DELHI: VIDA, the electric mobility arm of Hero MotoCorp, has teamed up with Kolkata Knight Riders to launch a campaign that turns cricketing flair into real-world impact.
Titled ‘6 for 6’, the initiative promises to install a 6kW fast EV charger for every six hit by KKR during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The idea is simple but powerful, as each big hit on the field contributes directly to expanding India’s fast-charging infrastructure.
The campaign builds on VIDA’s growing network, which already spans over 5,300 fast-charging points across more than 430 cities. With EV adoption gaining pace, the brand is using cricket’s mass appeal to accelerate both awareness and infrastructure growth.
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hero MotoCorp emerging mobility business unit chief business officer Kausalya Nandakumar said, “Cricket has an incredible ability to unite and inspire millions across the country. With the ‘6 for 6’ campaign, we are turning every big hit on the field into a step towards a cleaner and a more accessible mobility future.”
She added that VIDA’s expanding fast-charging network and removable battery technology are designed to make EV ownership more convenient and practical for everyday users.
From the franchise’s side, the campaign is also about giving on-field moments a larger purpose. Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “The ‘6 for 6’ campaign exemplifies the potential of sport as a platform for meaningful, real-world impact. By linking every six to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, this partnership transforms fan excitement into tangible progress.”
As part of the rollout, VIDA has introduced co-branded charging stations in KKR’s signature colours, with a flagship installation unveiled alongside team players. The chargers are designed for quick top-ups, powering VIDA scooters from zero to 80 percent in about an hour, while also being positioned along key highways to support longer journeys.
The initiative also taps into VIDA’s removable battery system, which allows users to charge using standard household plug points, adding flexibility to the charging ecosystem.
By blending the thrill of cricket with the urgency of clean mobility, VIDA and KKR have found a neat way to make every six count twice, once on the scoreboard and again on India’s road to an electric future.
