Word of Mouth media launches new digital series ‘The Quintessential Sunshine Man Rd Burman – Lessons for Lockdown’
Word of Mouth of Media launched its 7th project recently ‘The Quintessential Sunshine Man Rd Burman’. In this digital series Vineet KKN 'Panchhi’, Founder, Word of Mouth Media talks about some ‘Lessons for Lockdown’.
“I grew up listening to RD Burman Saab's music, collecting anecdotes about his life, and positivism. For the last few weeks, his music has been my constant in these uncertain times. I believe that RD Saab’s life and what he stood for has served a great lesson for all of us and we have tailor-made some of these in the latest series,” said Vineet.
In this context, Word of Mouth Media started ‘The Sunshine Project’ to help people stay positive during these tough times. While the website is a repository and not a destination in itself, the team constantly brainstorms on various items that can help people cope during this difficult times.
“Sunshine in so many ways is the closest Metaphor to what we are trying to do. We want people to stay positive and hopeful especially during current circumstances when we know that our problems are way bigger than we can handle. Our latest initiative is more about bringing sunshine to ourselves, our minds, and our communities,” He added.
Through the latest project, Word of Mouth Media is trying to spread smiles by putting up podcasts, interviews with stimulating people, and a few initiatives that can support. It’s an ongoing project that will continue to build more positivity and bring a ray of sunshine to people’s lives.

Bajaj Consumer Care FY26 profit rises to Rs 193.7 crore
Revenue climbs to Rs 1,092 crore as profit grows 49 per cent YoY
MUMBAI: Hair today, growth tomorrow Bajaj Consumer Care Limited seems to have found its shine again, posting a sharp jump in profitability even as it doubled down on brand spends and expansion. The company reported a net profit of Rs 193.7 crore for FY26, marking a strong 49 per cent rise from Rs 130.1 crore in FY25. Revenue from operations also grew to Rs 1,092.2 crore, up from Rs 942.8 crore a year earlier, signalling steady demand momentum across its portfolio.
For the March quarter, profit stood at Rs 64.1 crore, compared to Rs 31.5 crore in the corresponding period last year, while revenue rose to Rs 308.3 crore from Rs 243.5 crore.
The performance came despite a notable increase in spending. Advertising and sales promotion expenses climbed to Rs 168.3 crore in FY26, up from Rs 137.8 crore in FY25, reflecting continued investment in brand building. Other expenses also rose to Rs 151.3 crore from Rs 134.2 crore, indicating a broader push towards growth.
Operating efficiency, however, held firm. Profit before tax increased to Rs 234.8 crore in FY26 from Rs 157.7 crore a year earlier, supported by disciplined cost management across materials and inventory.
On the balance sheet, the company’s total assets expanded to Rs 959.1 crore as of March 31, 2026, compared to Rs 931.9 crore a year earlier. Other equity rose to Rs 780.3 crore, reinforcing a stronger financial base.
Cash flow from operations saw a significant uptick, reaching Rs 196.9 crore in FY26, nearly three times the Rs 67.9 crore recorded in FY25, highlighting improved working capital management.
However, the year also saw aggressive capital allocation. The company spent Rs 190.2 crore on share buybacks, contributing to a net cash outflow of Rs 196.5 crore from financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents stood at Rs 6.8 crore at the end of the year, down from Rs 25.6 crore.
Even as investments in subsidiaries and assets continued, the numbers suggest a company balancing growth ambitions with shareholder returns keeping one eye on expansion and the other on efficiency.
With margins improving and revenue steadily climbing, Bajaj Consumer Care appears to be combing through the competition with renewed confidence.
