Cyberpowerpc India launches ‘Play Guarantee’ to reboot gamer trust in custom PC market
MUMBAI: Buying a gaming rig shouldn’t feel like rolling the dice. Cyberpowerpc India has unveiled its new ‘Play Guarantee’ campaign, a consumer-first initiative aimed at putting an end to performance guesswork in India’s custom PC market. Launched on 20 May 2025, the campaign sets a new benchmark by offering a 30-day satisfaction assurance across its Play Ready systems.
In a market flooded with high-ticket machines and variable specs, Cyberpowerpc is flipping the script by backing its products with transparency, testing, and on-ground support. Every Play Ready PC will be built with 100 per cent brand-new parts sourced from authorised manufacturers, and pre-installed with a genuine, BIOS-activated version of Microsoft Windows — ensuring no hidden licensing fees or grey market surprises.
“As more Indian gamers upgrade to high-performance PCs, trust becomes a critical factor. Gamers shouldn’t have to take a leap of faith when buying a PC. They should know what they’re getting and know it works right out of the box. We at Cyberpowerpc India always believed in transparency, may it be sharing FPS benchmarks before purchase or building with only brand-new components. The ‘Play Guarantee’ campaign aligns perfectly with our commitment to building a credible, consumer-first ecosystem in Indian PC gaming, especially as the community becomes more competitive and discerning”, said Cyberpowerpc India COO Vishal Parekh.
Each unit under the campaign undergoes rigorous stress testing using global benchmarks to validate GPU, CPU, thermal and memory stability before shipping. Buyers also get one year of on-site support, with certified technicians available for repairs or replacements — eliminating the usual post-purchase logistical hassles.
A Neogrowth study cited by the brand revealed that 54 per cent of Indian consumers still prefer offline purchases due to trust in authenticity. Cyberpowerpc India aims to bridge this trust gap in online PC buying through guaranteed clarity and post-sales assurance.
The Play Guarantee follows Cyberpowerpc India’s recent collaboration with esports organisation Orangutan to power ApeCity, a competitive gaming arena in Navi Mumbai. The company is actively investing in India’s gaming ecosystem while democratising access to high-performance systems.

Bluestone FY26 revenue rises to Rs 2,436 crore, turns profitable
Q4 profit at Rs 31 crore, full-year profit at Rs 13 crore vs loss last year.
MUMBAI: From sparkle to numbers, Bluestone seems to be polishing more than just jewellery this year. Bluestone Jewellery and Lifestyle Limited reported a sharp turnaround in FY26, with revenue from operations rising to Rs 2,436 crore (Rs 24,364 million), up from Rs 1,770 crore (Rs 17,700 million) in FY25. The company posted a full-year profit of Rs 13 crore (Rs 131.79 million), a significant recovery from a loss of Rs 222 crore (Rs 2,218 million) a year ago.
Total income for the year stood at Rs 2,486 crore (Rs 24,860 million), compared to Rs 1,830 crore (Rs 18,300 million) in the previous year, reflecting both topline growth and improved operational momentum.
The March quarter, however, told a more nuanced story. Revenue from operations came in at Rs 681 crore (Rs 6,814 million), down from Rs 748 crore (Rs 7,486 million) in the year-ago period, though higher than Rs 461 crore (Rs 4,613 million) in the preceding December quarter. Net profit for Q4 stood at Rs 31 crore (Rs 311.81 million), compared to Rs 68 crore (Rs 688 million) a year earlier, but a clear reversal from a loss of Rs 51 crore (Rs 512 million) in Q3.
Margins were shaped by higher input costs, with raw material consumption rising to Rs 2,204 crore (Rs 22,043 million) for the full year, alongside employee benefit expenses of Rs 282 crore (Rs 2,824 million) and finance costs of Rs 210 crore (Rs 2,104 million). Other expenses came in at Rs 371 crore (Rs 3,715 million), slightly lower than Rs 393 crore (Rs 3,938 million) in FY25.
On the balance sheet front, total assets expanded to Rs 4,961 crore (Rs 49,610 million) as of March 31, 2026, from Rs 3,532 crore (Rs 35,322 million) a year earlier, driven largely by a surge in inventories to Rs 2,672 crore (Rs 26,718 million). Equity also strengthened to Rs 1,803 crore (Rs 18,030 million), nearly doubling from Rs 911 crore (Rs 9,107 million).
Cash flows reflected the cost of growth. Net cash used in operating activities stood at Rs 199 crore (Rs 1,990 million), while investing activities saw an outflow of Rs 239 crore (Rs 2,392 million). Financing activities, however, generated Rs 497 crore (Rs 4,971 million), helping the company end the year with cash and cash equivalents of Rs 108 crore (Rs 1,075 million), up from Rs 49 crore (Rs 487 million).
Earnings per share for FY26 came in at Rs 1.10, a sharp improvement from a negative Rs 79.74 in FY25, underlining the shift from losses to profitability.
With revenue scaling up, costs still glittering on the higher side, and profitability finally back in the black, BlueStone’s FY26 performance suggests a business mid-transition less about shine alone, and more about sustaining it.
