Foxtale launches ‘No Fox Given’ comedy night to tackle stereotypes with punchlines, not platitudes
MUMBAI: When skincare meets stand-up, you know someone’s rewriting the script—and Foxtale just did. The homegrown beauty brand has taken its boldest leap yet with No Fox Given, a no-holds-barred comedy experience aimed at Indian women, launching 27 June 2025 at Balgandharva Rang Mandir in Bandra, Mumbai.
This isn’t a product plug in disguise. No Fox Given blends biting humour, candid conversation and unapologetic storytelling to call out the everyday judgments women face—from what they wear to how loudly they laugh. Foxtale is turning that noise into laughter and, in the process, building a stage that doubles as a megaphone.
Taking the mic for the debut show are two names that need no introduction on the Indian comedy circuit. Swati Sachdeva, known for her brutally honest humour and viral reels, joins Shashi Dhiman, whose razor wit spotlights the many contradictions of womanhood in India. Together, they promise a night packed with truth bombs and belly laughs.
“When women experience No Fox Given, I want them to shed the weight of expectations, judgment, and pressure that often come with simply existing as a woman”, said Foxtale founder & CEO Romita Mazumdar. “This isn’t just an event — it’s a statement. A cultural platform that reflects our brand’s purpose: to champion real voices and spark real conversations. Our hope is for No Fox Given to evolve into a cultural touchstone that continues to grow, year after year”.
With tickets starting at Rs 499 on District, the show is targeted at Gen Z and millennial audiences who prefer unfiltered storytelling to picture-perfect campaigns. In a world where digital ‘likes’ don’t always translate to real connection, Foxtale is betting on the ancient power of laughter—live and unedited.
“Building a brand today means showing up with purpose, not just products. No Fox Given is our response to the cultural and emotional realities our audience navigates every day. Comedy, when rooted in truth, becomes a powerful connector. This initiative turns consumer insight into a scalable cultural platform — one that celebrates identity, encourages self-expression, and moves the conversation forward”, said Foxtale CSO Anindita Biswas.
The event marks Foxtale’s evolution from a skincare brand into a culture-shaping platform. In an industry obsessed with appearances, No Fox Given offers something radical: a space where realness is the only beauty standard.

Prataap Snacks posts Rs 1.14 crore Q4 profit, EBITDA up 319 per cent
Yellow Diamond maker posts turnaround with Rs 1.14 crore profit, 10 per cent dividend proposed
NEW DELHI: Prataap Snacks Limited has staged a sharp turnaround in the fourth quarter of FY26, reporting a 319 per cent surge in operating EBITDA and a return to profitability after a challenging previous year.
The Indore-based company, known for brands such as Yellow Diamond and Avadh, posted income from operations of Rs 420.18 crore for Q4 FY26, marking a 5 per cent year-on-year rise. Operating EBITDA climbed to Rs 20.59 crore, while margins stood at 4.9 per cent.
Most notably, the company reported a profit after tax of Rs 1.14 crore for the quarter, reversing a loss of Rs 11.94 crore in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share improved to Rs 0.48 from a negative Rs 5.00 earlier, signalling a steady recovery in performance.
For the full financial year, consolidated income rose 1 per cent to Rs 1,724.65 crore. Annual operating EBITDA grew 68 per cent to Rs 81.81 crore, while the company posted a net profit of Rs 9.72 crore, compared to a loss of Rs 34.27 crore in FY25.
Reflecting this improved performance, the board has recommended a dividend of 10 per cent, equivalent to Rs 0.50 per share on a face value of Rs 5.
Prataap Snacks Limited managing director Amit Kumat said the recovery was driven by sharper execution and data-led decision-making, including the use of Sales Force Automation analytics. The company also expanded its distribution network to over 5,000 distributors and strengthened its presence on quick commerce platforms.
Looking ahead, the company expects double-digit revenue growth in FY27, though it remains cautious about inflationary pressures on key inputs such as packaging materials and edible oil. Management plans to offset these through tighter cost controls and calibrated pricing strategies.
With profitability back on track and operations stabilising, Prataap Snacks appears to be regaining its footing in an increasingly competitive packaged foods market.
