Mumbai: Techno Gamerz aka Ujjwal Chaurasia launched his new rap song: “Life” in collaboration with Sez on the Beat also known as the man behind the sound of Indian hip-hop and Hustle 2.0’s Panther. After the phenomenal success of his first rap- Game On, which crossed 90 million+ lifetime views, the trio have published this new track, which is visioned to take the Indie-music industry to new heights.
The track encapsulates Techo’s remarkable journey. A middle-class boy from Delhi who turned his passion for gaming into a career that broke all records and became Asia’s most-watched gamer with a cumulative subscriber base of 50 Mn. He is also one of the few Indians to have his gaming character. Now, stepping into the world of music with his second track, Techno is ready to push the boundaries and redefine the hip-hop landscape in the country.
His commitment to his craft shines through in every aspect of his new rap. The video is a visual spectacle, demonstrating an elevated production quality that mirrors the song’s intensity. This artistic harmony between audio and visuals promises a sensory experience like no other. With his signature lyrical prowess and charismatic presence, he is sure to leave fans and music enthusiasts eager for more.
Expressing his excitement about the release, Ujjwal said, “I’m thrilled that my fans can finally experience this new rap. It’s a high-energy track that’s been in the works for months, and I believe it will take the world of Indie rap music to new heights. Working with Sez on the Beat has been an incredible experience, and I’m delighted we could share it with the world through the music video. I am sure the audience will enjoy the song as much as Sez and I enjoyed making it, and I’m looking forward to seeing their reaction.”
Commenting on his collaboration with Techno Gamerz, Hip-hop sensation Sez on the Beat, said, “I applaud Ujjwal’s passion and commitment for his art. I have worked with artists across the globe, and he is one of the very few who gives such attention to detail in his work. After the immense success of Game On, I am ecstatic to see the response and reactions from the fans. I’m confident that “Life” will leave the audience amazed as we try to elevate every aspect of it.”
As the “Life” music video captures the internet’s attention, it’s evident that Techno’s passion for music and gaming has led him to a unique intersection where he can genuinely express himself and connect with his audience on a profound level. He will also be performing at the most anticipated YouTube Fan Fest this month in Mumbai, where he will perform and engage with fans from across the country.

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.
