GTPL Hathway announces partnership with Aprecomm
Mumbai: Cable TV distribution and broadband service provider GTPL Hathway Ltd on Monday announced the investment in innovative technology to remotely optimise its residential Wi-Fi connections through a partnership with Aprecomm.
The technology will help GTPL bring down the customer issue resolution time and enhance customer experience on its network of 700K+ connected broadband households. Aprecomm’s AI engine allows GTPL to convert its household connections to AI-enabled smart Wi-Fi access points. Additionally, the technology offers proactive monitoring and measuring of the wireless experience of the connected devices and provides real-time insights to improve the reliability and performance of the network, said the statement.
“GTPL believes in continuous investments in technology to keep innovating and enhance the consumers’ delight,” said GTPL Hathway managing director Anirudhsinh Jadeja. “The partnership with Aprecomm will aid us in our efforts to ensure the best experience for our broadband consumers with a faster and proactive resolution of potential issues.”
“We are delighted to collaborate with GTPL and bring the latest technology into their network which can assist them with up to 50 per cent reduction in customer support handling time and phenomenal improvement to the customer experience,” said Aprecomm CEO Pramod Gummaraj. “We are looking forward to bringing more innovation in the Network Automation in the coming months.”
The measurable improvements offered by the integration between GTPL and Aprecomm also lead to lower maintenance costs and improved customer satisfaction for the internet service provider.
“With Aprecomm’s vendor-agnostic technology, GTPL is now able to manage and monitor ONUs through a unified interface, ensuring assured internet experience to their customers,” said Aprecomm CTO Guharajan Sivakumar.
“We have already started deploying this technology and could measure the customer experience with ease and take proactive actions to improve it,” stated GTPL Hathway CTO Prasad V. “Aprecomm’s technology immensely helps us to achieve network automation.”
MUMBAI: When margins wobble, liquidity talks and in Q3 FY25-26, cash did most of the talking. Den Networks Limited closed the December quarter with consolidated revenue of Rs.251 crore, marginally higher than the previous quarter but down 4 per cent year-on-year, even as profitability stayed resilient on the back of strong cash reserves and disciplined cost control.
Subscription income softened to Rs.98 crore, slipping 3 per cent sequentially and 14 per cent from last year, while placement and marketing income offered some cheer, rising 15 per cent quarter-on-quarter to Rs.148 crore. Total costs climbed faster than revenue, up 7 per cent QoQ to Rs.238 crore, driven largely by higher content costs and operating expenses. As a result, EBITDA dropped sharply to Rs.13 crore from Rs.19 crore in Q2 and Rs.28 crore a year ago, pulling margins down to 5 per cent.
Yet, the bottom line refused to blink. Profit after tax stood at Rs.40 crore, up 15 per cent sequentially and only marginally lower than last year’s Rs.42 crore. A healthy Rs.57 crore in other income helped cushion operating pressure, keeping profit before tax at Rs.48 crore, broadly stable quarter-on-quarter despite the tougher cost environment.
The real headline-grabber, however, sits on the balance sheet. The company remains debt-free, with cash and cash equivalents swelling to Rs.3,279 crore as of December 31, 2025. Net worth rose to Rs.3,748 crore, while online collections accounted for 97 per cent of total receipts, underscoring strong cash discipline across operations, including subsidiaries.
In short, while Q3 showed signs of operating strain, the financial backbone remains solid. With zero gross debt, steady profits and a formidable cash war chest, the company enters the next quarter with flexibility firmly on its side proving that in uncertain markets, balance sheet strength can be the best growth strategy.
