Pure and eternal Platinum Ganesha Pendants by ORRA
Mumbai: On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrated all over India, ORRA – India’s finest jewellery retail chain, offers a spiritually line of Ganesha pendants in pure and eternal white platinum. Captured in silhouette and delicate design forms this modern yet traditional interpretation of Lord Ganesh in precious platinum is the perfect gift of love for this season.
A pristine way to show love and devotion towards Lord Ganesh with an eternal metal that keeps its natural white colour for a lifetime and does not fade or tarnish with time and promises to stay with you always. In terms of purity, platinum jewellery is 95% pure, as compared to 18k gold, which is 75% pure. The colour white symbolises purity and the never-fading commitment of platinum is an important feature when capturing it in a sacred form.
Mr. Vijay Jain, CEO ORRA says, “Taking inspiration from divine symbols, our range of spiritual jewellery includes contemporary designs with a traditional influence. For consumers seeking to usher the festivities with the ultimate symbol of Lord Ganesh, spiritual platinum pendants are an ideal choice. Platinum demand in the market is on an upward trend, especially amongst the younger lot. The pure, rare and eternal qualities of the metal have a deep resonance with this set of consumers, who choose platinum for its inherent features.”

Network18 Q4 revenue grows 9.7 per cent, EBITDA at Rs 30 crore
PAT improves to Rs 306.6 crore, margins steady amid cost pressures.
MUMBAI: Not all news is breaking, some of it is quietly improving. Network18 Media & Investments Limited appears to be doing just that, tightening losses and stabilising margins even as costs continue to weigh on the business. For FY26, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 1,955.1 crore, up from Rs 1,896.2 crore in FY25, signalling modest top-line growth in a challenging media environment. Total income stood at Rs 1,978.2 crore, compared to Rs 1,913 crore a year earlier.
Profit after tax came in at Rs 306.6 crore for the year, a sharp turnaround from Rs 3,225.4 crore in FY25, largely reflecting the absence of large exceptional items that had inflated the previous year’s numbers. On a more comparable basis, the company’s operating performance showed signs of gradual stabilisation.
However, the quarterly picture remained under pressure. For the March quarter, Network18 reported a loss of Rs 53.1 crore, narrower than the Rs 98.1 crore loss in the same period last year, but still indicative of ongoing cost challenges.
Expenses continued to track high. Total expenses for FY26 stood at Rs 2,235.7 crore, up from Rs 2,197.8 crore in FY25. Key cost heads included operational expenses of Rs 765.9 crore, employee benefits of Rs 475.9 crore, and marketing, distribution and promotional spends of Rs 427.1 crore, underlining the continued investment required to sustain reach and engagement.
At an operating level, margins remained under strain. Operating margin stood at 2.33 per cent for FY26, marginally higher than 1.77 per cent in FY25, while net profit margin remained negative at -13.02 per cent, though improved from -14.89 per cent.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to Rs 8,957.6 crore as of 31 March 2026, from Rs 8,317.5 crore a year earlier. Equity strengthened to Rs 4,958.7 crore, while borrowings increased to Rs 3,112.8 crore, reflecting a higher reliance on debt to support operations.
Cash flows told a mixed story. While financing activities generated Rs 83.9 crore, operating cash flow remained negative at Rs -24 crore, highlighting ongoing pressure on core cash generation. Cash and cash equivalents, however, improved to Rs 33.9 crore from Rs 1.8 crore.
The numbers point to a company in transition growing revenues, trimming losses, but still grappling with structural cost pressures. In a sector where scale often comes at a price, Network18 seems to be inching towards balance, one quarter at a time.
