Financial Performance (Q2 FY26 vs Q1 FY25): IndusInd General Insurance reported a moderated financial performance in Q2 FY26, with total revenue declining by 5.7% to ā¹2,166 crore, compared to ā¹2,296 crore in Q1 FY25. The dip suggests a slight contraction in top-line growth during the period. Profit After Tax (PAT) declined by 9.6% to ā¹120.5 crore, compared to ā¹133.36 crore in Q1 FY25. Consequently, Earnings Per Share (EPS) decreased by 10.3% to ā¹4.51, from ā¹5.03 in the previous period. The simultaneous decline in revenue and profitability points to potential pressures on premium collections or investment income, impacting the overall bottom line.
Operational Metrics (Q2 FY26): Operational performance highlights a substantial volume of business activities. The total number of policies issued during the current year stood at 49,70,736, indicating a very strong market presence. Claims activity was also significant, with 27,13,250 claims registered during the current year. Service efficiency metrics showed 1.16 policy-related complaints per 10,000 policies and 4.44 claim-related complaints per 10,000 claims. The grievance redressal mechanism appeared robust, with the majority of pending complaints (1,205) being less than 15 days old, reflecting a focus on timely resolution.
Strategic Developments: The company is operating under a new identity, having transitioned from Reliance General Insurance Company Limited to IndusInd General Insurance Company Limited. This rebranding likely marks a significant strategic pivot, possibly aligning with broader group objectives or ownership changes. The high volume of policies and claims underscores the company's continued operational scale despite the financial dip. While specific capital allocation details for this quarter were not highlighted in the snippets, the operational data suggests a continued emphasis on maintaining service levels and managing a vast customer base amidst the corporate transition.

For decades, Studds has been synonymous with affordable, mass-market helmets.Ā
Studds Accessories LimitedĀ formally an Indian manufacturer of two-wheeler helmets and motorcycle accessories has been a dominant name in head protection for riders.
Founded in 1983 by the Khurana family, with Madhu Bhushan Khurana and Sidhartha Bhushan Khurana in leadership roles, Studds Accessories has spent nearly four decades building Indiaās largest helmet manufacturing business. The companyās portfolio spans full-face, open-face, flip-up helmets and a range of riding gear marketed under its own brand names: Studds and SMK.
From Mass to Premium: The Strategic Shift
Indiaās largest two-wheeler helmet maker is accelerating its shift up the value chain, aiming to double the share of premium helmets in its revenue mix over the next two years, a move that signals changing consumer behaviour as much as corporate strategy.
According to industry commentary and statements from the companyās Managing Director, Studds Accessories expects to double the revenue share of premium helmets from around 15.5% to ~30% within the next two years.
ā
The backdrop is compelling. India remains the worldās largest two-wheeler market, but helmet consumption is evolving beyond basic compliance. Rising disposable incomes, stricter safety awareness, and aspirational buying especially among urban riders are pushing demand toward higher-priced, feature-rich helmets. Studds is positioning itself right at this intersection.

What began as a ā¹75-lakh funding pitch on Shark Tank India has translated into tangible market gains for investors. Ravelcare, the personal-care brand that gained early visibility through the show, delivered a ~55% listing premium on its SME IPO turning a televised pitch into a real capital-market outcome.
About Ravelcare
Ravelcare began as a digital-first beauty and personal care brand founded in 2018 by Ayush Varma, offering personalised haircare, skincare, and bodycare products through its own website and major marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra. Its early strategy combined data-driven formulation with direct-to-consumer engagement, a model that helped it carve out a niche in a highly competitive category.Ā
Shark Tank India Spotlight
RavelCare IPO Performance
The IPO drew exceptional investor interest, with overall subscription reaching 437.6 times, led by retail, NII, and QIB bids. Anchor investors had already committed ā¹6.83 crore before the public bid opened.
On December 8, 2025, Ravelcare debuted on the BSE SME platform at around ā¹201 per share, roughly a 55% premium above its ā¹130 issue price, marking a rare and strong listing performance for an SME consumer brand.
The Shark Tank appearance served more as a brand catalyst than a traditional funding milestone. Its real value for investors lies in the companyās execution track record, retail traction, and how effectively it deploys capital toward deeper penetration, distribution, and manufacturing integration.

Do you know Indiaās first indigenous thrombectomy device is being built by S3V Vascular?
Itās the same company that secured Indiaās first licence for an expandable titanium spinal cage, placing it at the frontier of neuro-spine innovation.
S3V Vascular Technologies, the Mysuru-based med-tech manufacturer, is emerging as one of Indiaās most ambitious players in neurovascular and cardiovascular devices. The company has spent the past decade building capabilities across stents, balloons, microcatheters, and guidewires.
S3Vās product family includes coronary devices (PTCA balloon catheters; 3V Paulo), stent systems (3V Siris/3V Neil), hydrophilic PTCA balloons, and newer neurovascular lines (Krome, clot-retriever concepts). The company is explicitly pursuing patents on key thrombectomy and catheter-construct innovations. That IP push is central to its strategy to move up the value chain, from contract manufacturing to proprietary, higher-margin devices.
S3V raised significant private capital (reported ~ā¹300 crore in a recent funding round) from high-profile investors and industrial backers, and has committed capex for an integrated manufacturing unit, previously reported as a ā¹70ā300 crore scale investment depending on the phase of facility buildout.

OYOās rebound will ultimately be judged by its ability to turn improving occupancy into steady, year-round margins only then will public markets may reward it with a valuation grounded in fundamentals rather than optimism.

PharmEasy was once heralded as Indiaās health-tech unicorn, a one-stop digital pharmacy + diagnostics + tele-health platform.Ā
But by 2024, heavy losses, falling valuations and management changes had shaken investor confidence.Ā
API Holdings (the parent) had grown aggressively through acquisitions like Thyrocare, but the integration was messy and cash burn worsened.
Now, under its new CEO Rahul Guha, PharmEasy is making bold moves to shift from āgrowth at any costā to āprofitable, sustainable scale.
And the numbers now reflect a business that is finally pulling itself back.
So, while top-line growth is modest, bottom-line stress has eased and thatās a critical first step for any turnaround.
Itās fair to say, based on the latest data that PharmEasy is showing margin improvement and financial stabilization. The internal procurement, cost control, and debt / expense rationalization have helped reduce burn and shrink losses.
But the business remains loss-making as of FY25. Until EBITDA turns positive and the core pharmacy business becomes cash-flow positive, the margin story remains cautiously optimistic.
Now, PharmEasy is no longer the high-burn startup chasing growth at any cost. Itās trying to become a lean, recurring-revenue healthcare services engine with scale, sustainability, and clarity.
