Zoop by Titan rebrands to connect with new-age kids
Mumbai: Kids’ watch brand Zoop from Titan Watches India unveiled its brand identity by drawing design inspiration from the world of ‘modern imagination’ and encouraging children to express themselves in fun and fascinating ways.
With this revamp, the brand is reaching out to young storytellers in an effort to connect with kids who are utilising new-age mediums and technology to express their creativity and talent.
As part of its rebranding initiative, Zoop announces the launch of “Hello Imaginators,” a nation-wide hunt for the next set of imaginators, in association with the World Cadet Chess Champion 2022 in the under-8 category, Charvi Anilkumar, on the occasion of Children’s Day.
From a children’s brand that bubbled with gleeful energy, Zoop has transformed its brand identity into one that is modern and innovative while being fun and fashionable at the same time. Zoop, in response to the changing preferences and evolving aspirations of children, presents a visual world in the form of a creative imagination playground to daydreamers, allowing them to express themselves.
Titan Company Ltd. marketing head of watches and wearables division Sirish Chandrashekar said, “We are excited to launch Zoop with innovative messaging that will connect deeply with the new-age kids. Introducing vividness and magic with its transformation, the brand acts as a badge of creative imagination for kids who think beyond the boundaries to create a world they imagine by using advanced technology. We have also launched the “Hello Imaginators” programme for the same, to recognise the young imaginators from across the country who truly represent what the brand stands for and encourage them to pursue their desired fields.”
“I am thrilled to be associated with the “Hello Imaginators” programme by Zoop. Just like me, there are so many children in India who are dreaming big, striving every day to make their dreams come true across different fields. This is a wonderful initiative by Titan to recognise and reward such talents and bring them to light,” added Anilkumar.
“Hello Imaginators” programme is inviting applications from kids between seven and 14 years of age who have excelled in fields such as the arts, academics, sports, social studies, science, and technology. The top three winners of the programme will be granted a scholarship worth Rs 50,000 each, along with other Zoop goodies. The programme is live at https://www.titan.co.in/zoop-hello-imaginators-2022, and children from all over India can participate by clicking on the link.
The winners will be announced on 15 January 2023.

Angel One Q4 profit surges 83 per cent to Rs 320cr
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.
