Frost and Sullivan to host “Digital Enterprise Transformation Summit 2015” in June
Mumbai: Increasing high speed broadband penetration and social media along with digitization is driving many growth opportunities in the Indian market. An empowered and connected environment can increase efficiency and boost business profitability for enterprises. With the promise of such benefits, digital transformation is slowly becoming the top agenda for most organizations. However, as technologies are rapidly changing, the challenge faced by organizations is aligning their internal and external business needs to the next generation IT transformation.
Frost & Sullivan will host its inaugural edition of the “Digital Enterprise Transformation Summit 2015” on June 18th at Hotel Le Meridien, New Delhi. The summit will allow business leaders, analysts, and experts to explore the possible opportunities in digital transformation and means to address the challenges. Frost & Sullivan’s analyst team will evaluate elements such as cloud, social, analytics, marketing automation, mobility, and collaboration.
On the occasion, Frost & Sullivan, Global Innovation Center , Digital Media, Director, Vidya S. Nath said, “Digital transformation has evolved into a must-have strategy for enterprises across verticals in India. While digital platforms are a priority for consumer-facing sectors such as e-commerce, banking and financial services, medium and large enterprises in ICT, healthcare, etc., the manufacturing sector is also making fast strides to transform itself to embrace social, mobile, analytics and cloud (SMAC). Such transformation can help businesses gain significant efficiencies while boosting their revenue. However, such initiatives can fail without informed decisions aligning operational goals with business implications.”
At the summit, Frost & Sullivan will release a whitepaper on Digital Enterprise Transformation and share key findings in terms of growth areas, leading market participants, and successful case studies from banking, healthcare, and IT. The summit will also have insightful keynote presentations on the roadmap for next generation IT automation in enterprises, and include collaborative panel discussions on the significance of cloud computing and leveraging advanced analytics to derive insights on customer engagement.
In addition, the summit will include strategy workshops for CXOs to empower them in critical decision-making tools, methodologies, and best practices to accomplish growth in today’s highly competitive market. It will also present an opportunity for the participants to interact with Frost & Sullivan’s industry experts such as Mukul Krishna, Senior Director, Digital Media; ICT Practice, Industry Manager, Thejaswi Parameshwaran; Vidya S. Nath, along with others, to examine a 360-degree perspective on their digital strategy in enterprises, as well as global and regional Mega Trends that will govern the market growth in the near future.
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.
