IBD India wins creative duties of Radius Infratel
MUMBAI: The integrated brand development division of Percept-Hakuhodo, IBD India, has won the creative duties of telecom infrastructure company, Radius Infratel.
IBD will provide 360 degree communication plan to position Radius Infratel as a preferred brand in the FTTH domain and then establish the solution NANO (Neutral Access Network Operations) as a future-smart move.
The basic plank for the entire communication plan for Radius is based on its proprietary and unique technology called NANO (Neutral Access Network Operations).
The concept of NANO is to provide a unified last mile solution on optic fiber that allows users to access internet speeds up to 1 Gbps, video intercoms, IPTV HD networks, home automation solutions and much more.
Radius Infratel MD H. S. Singh said, “When we set out to shortlist on an advertising agency for our growing communication requirements, we just had one dominant thought in our mind – comprehension and simplification. That’s because for the common man to benefit from Radius’ technology, it is important that it be taken to him in a lucid and insightful manner. After various rounds of scrutiny and discussions, we found IBD as a team of individuals who understood the nature of our business inside out and came up with simple but excellent solutions.”
IBD India COO Jyotsna Chauhan added, “The basic concept of NANO itself is pretty exciting to say the least. Imagine surfing the internet at speeds that we’ve seen only on papers. It’s a big world of possibilities hosted in a single strand of fibre. And that for us is a big talking point – one that gives Radius an edge in their communications strategy. With our unique communications plan we are sure to strengthen the presence of Radius Infratel in the market.”

Eternal posts Rs 54,364 crore revenue, up 168 per cent in FY26
Q4 profit rises to Rs 174 crore as firm streamlines District business
NEW DELHI: Eternal Limited reported a sharp surge in scale for FY26, with consolidated revenue rising 168 per cent year-on-year to Rs 54,364 crore, underscoring strong growth across its core businesses.
The company’s growth was mirrored in its bottom line, with a total annual profit of Rs 366 crore. The fourth quarter was particularly strong, contributing Rs 17,292 crore in revenue and Rs 174 crore in profit, a sharp rise compared to the Rs 39 crore profit recorded in the same period last year.
Key financial metrics from the report include:
- Total assets: Increased to Rs 40,736 crore from last year’s Rs 35,623 crore.
- Delivery charges: The company collected Rs 9,065 crore in delivery and related charges over the year.
- Employee costs: Staffing and benefit expenses amounted to Rs 3,536 crore.
- Liquidity: The firm maintains a cash balance of Rs 996 crore, supported by Rs 632 crore generated from operating activities.
On the strategic front, the company has approved the transfer of its District platform’s technology stack to its wholly owned subsidiary, Wasteland Entertainment Private Limited. The deal, valued at Rs 24.19 crore, will be completed in cash and is expected to close by May 1, 2026, along with the transition of select employees. The move is aimed at consolidating its entertainment and ticketing operations under a focused entity.
From a regulatory standpoint, statutory auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells issued an unmodified opinion on the financial results. However, they flagged an ongoing show cause notice related to GST on delivery charges, which the company continues to contest, citing a strong legal position.
With robust revenue growth and ongoing structural tweaks, Eternal is clearly sharpening its playbook as it expands beyond its core into a broader consumer services ecosystem.
