WittyFeed launches social infotainment platform ‘CatchUp’
MUMBAI: WittyFeed has announced the launch of “CatchUp”, a social infotainment platform that will give users the opportunity to stay on top of trends online via an audio-visual format.
The company believes that new platforms will emerge by innovating on format and monetisation methods for publishers. Following the same reason, WittyFeed also decided to consolidate its India business in the new platform.
An essential offering of CatchUp is that the content is served to the user in nuggets of 3 sec to 3 minutes, making the platform a first-of-its-kind in India.
CatchUp co-founder and CEO Vinay Singhal said, “While building nine successful global digital media brands including WittyFeed over last four years, we realised that users’ content consumption behaviour has shifted majorly. Mobile devices allow users to consume content at their comfort and keep up with what’s happening around them. My time has become the new prime time.”
He added that with so much clutter that exists on new age UGC platforms, there is a space that exists for PGC-led UGC platform that delivers personalised content experiences while also allowing the user to express themselves. “We are looking forward to solving these inefficiencies with our new platform- CatchUp.”
The content on CatchUp is curated from across various publishers in different categories such as Bollywood, Politics, Sports, Lifestyle, Health & Fitness, and Social Media etc. CatchUp delivers a unique personalised experience for users (backed by proprietary algorithms) to kill FOMO and keep up with the latest and happening things on the Internet in the form of updates throughout the day.

MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year).

Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.
