From two lines to lifelines Cloudnine celebrates the rise of ‘Mom’
MUMBAI: It starts with two faint lines and ends with a lifetime of unconditional love. This Mother’s Day, Cloudnine Group of Hospitals is shining a tender spotlight on the identity shift that begins the moment a woman realises she’s expecting. With its 2025 campaign, India’s premier birthing centre traces the quiet, powerful transformation behind the most cherished title a woman can earn “Mom.”
From the heart-flipping joy of a first ultrasound to the silent strength of watching one’s body become a home, Cloudnine’s latest campaign captures the raw, real, and radiant moments that mark the path to motherhood. Each frame honours the woman behind the womb, acknowledging the emotional and physical metamorphosis that begins long before the baby arrives.
Cloudnine chief marketing officer and chief digital officer Suresh Pandiyan shares, “The title ‘Mom’ is beyond comparison. While women carry many titles in their lives Dr., Prof., Mrs. ‘Mom,’ expressed in various cultural forms like ‘Amma,’ ‘Ma,’ and ‘Aai,’ is uniquely powerful. It symbolizes unconditional love, sacrifice, and unparalleled joy. This campaign honors every woman’s sacred journey into becoming a mom, a transition that changes her life forever.”
Suresh Pandiyan added further, “#WeKnowMoms at Cloudnine. We are proud to be a part of every mother’s transformation, ensuring that women feel supported and empowered throughout their journey. Our Mother’s Day campaign is a tribute to every woman who embraces the beautiful title of ‘Mom,’ and we are privileged to walk with them every step of the way.”
Anchored by the hashtag #WeKnowMoms, the campaign weaves together poignant visuals and storytelling to reaffirm Cloudnine’s commitment to walking alongside every woman as she navigates the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
The message is simple but profound: every woman who steps into Cloudnine isn’t just getting clinical care, she’s stepping into a life-altering transformation. And on this Mother’s Day, Cloudnine is pausing to say what often goes unsaid: we see you, we honour you, and we know what it took to get here.

Jio Financial Services posts Rs 1,560 crore FY26 profit
Revenue rises to Rs 3,513 crore as investments and lending scale up.
MUMBAI: If money makes the world go round, Jio Financial Services Limited is quietly spinning a much bigger wheel. The Reliance-backed financial arm reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 1,560.9 crore for FY26, slightly lower than Rs 1,612.6 crore in FY25, even as revenue growth gathered pace.
Total revenue from operations rose sharply to Rs 3,513.3 crore in FY26 from Rs 2,042.9 crore a year earlier, driven largely by a surge in interest income, which more than doubled to Rs 1,901.9 crore from Rs 852.5 crore. Fee and commission income also saw a significant jump to Rs 597 crore, compared to Rs 155.2 crore in FY25, reflecting expanding financial services activity.
For the March quarter, profit stood at Rs 272.2 crore, broadly flat compared to Rs 269 crore in the same period last year. Quarterly revenue from operations climbed to Rs 1,018.5 crore, up from Rs 493.2 crore year-on-year, signalling steady momentum in core income streams.
Expenses, however, moved in tandem with growth. Total costs nearly quadrupled to Rs 1,982.9 crore in FY26 from Rs 524.8 crore in FY25, with finance costs alone rising to Rs 745.1 crore from just Rs 7.7 crore a year earlier, reflecting increased borrowing and scale of operations. Employee expenses also grew to Rs 387.3 crore, while other expenses expanded to Rs 755 crore.
Profit before tax stood at Rs 1,911.7 crore for the year, slightly below Rs 1,946.9 crore in FY25. After accounting for a total tax outgo of Rs 350.8 crore, the company reported its final net profit figure.
Beyond the income statement, the balance sheet tells a story of rapid expansion. Total assets surged to Rs 1,63,497 crore as of March 31, 2026, up from Rs 1,33,510 crore a year earlier. Investments alone stood at Rs 1,33,088.7 crore, underscoring the company’s strong focus on treasury and financial asset growth.
However, the year also saw sharp volatility in other comprehensive income, which swung to a loss of Rs 16,028.3 crore, largely driven by fair value changes in equity instruments. This dragged total comprehensive income for FY26 to a negative Rs 15,756.1 crore, compared to a positive Rs 14,870 crore in FY25.
On the capital front, the company’s paid-up equity share capital remained steady at Rs 6,353.1 crore, with other equity rising to Rs 1,27,500.5 crore.
The numbers reflect a business in transition scaling rapidly across lending, investments and fee-based services, but also navigating the volatility that comes with mark-to-market movements in financial assets. In other words, while the top line is accelerating, the fine print still carries a few swings.
