Oswaal Books puts a smile before the scorecard
MUMBAI: This exam season, Oswaal Books is asking parents one simple question, “Aaj din mein kitna muskuraye?” The learning brand’s new heartwarming campaign shines a light on the emotional rollercoaster students experience behind every report card.
Narrated by actor, writer, and poet Piyush Mishra, the short film captures the silent struggles children face, from performance pressure and peer comparison to parental expectations and teenage anxieties. Beneath every late-night study session lies an untold emotional story, and Oswaal Books wants parents to notice it.
With its powerful message, “While we check our children’s marks, let’s also remember to check their smiles,” the film invites parents and teachers to rethink what success truly means.
Speaking about the campaign, Oswaal Books CEO Prashant Jain said, “Every exam season, we see children preparing, but behind their determination lie emotions they don’t always share. This film reminds us that marks are only one part of a child’s journey. A confident and happy child performs better not just in one exam, but in life.”
Launched ahead of Children’s Day, the campaign aims to spark conversations around emotional well-being and holistic learning. Staying true to its mission of making education simpler and more student-friendly, Oswaal Books encourages families to celebrate effort, resilience, and joy, not just academic results.
The film will run across digital and social media platforms, alongside community initiatives designed to help parents connect more empathetically with their children. Because sometimes, the brightest report card is the one with a genuine smile.

year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
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). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
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.
