Oravel Stays Limited, which operates OYO, kicked off FY26 on a strong note with profits more than doubling in the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year. The report further highlighted that the company achieved an EBITDA of Rs 550 crore during the quarter, while revenues surged 47% year-on-year to Rs 2,019 crore. Its gross booking value (GBV) grew 144% YoY to Rs 7,227 crore, reflecting strong recovery and demand momentum across markets. Alongside the financials, the company’s board has also cleared a 1:1 bonus share issuance for existing shareholders. For the full year FY25, OYO reported a consolidated revenue of Rs 6,252.8 crore, 16% more than the previous fiscal, with an EBITDA of Rs 1,100 crore, and a consolidated PAT of Rs 2,448 crore.

The new identity will act as the corporate umbrella housing OYO and its other premium brands such as Belvilla, Palette, Clubhouse, and Sunday Hotels. The Gurugram-based company has also been pushing premiumisation while expanding globally. In FY25, it deepened its footprint in the US through the acquisition of Motel 6 and Studio 6, and scaled its home business under Belvilla, Dancenter, and CheckMyGuest in Europe. By March 2025, OYO’s portfolio included over 120,000 vacation homes and 21,000 hotels across more than 35 countries. Founder and chairman Ritesh Agarwal said in his letter to shareholders that the long-term goal is to transform the group into one of the world’s leading lifestyle companies under PRISM, leveraging technology, AI-driven revenue management, and diversified hospitality brands.

Slice Small Finance Bank records maiden profits in H1 FY26

Slice Small Finance Bank (SSFB), formed after the merger of fintech Slice and North East Small Finance Bank, has reported its first profit since the amalgamation. The lender posted a net profit of Rs 7 crore for the first half of FY26, marking a turnaround from a loss of Rs 217 crore in FY25 and Rs 153 crore in FY24, according to CRISIL’s latest rating report. During the April–September 2025 period, SSFB’s pre-ESOP profit stood at Rs 43 crore, of which Rs 36.5 crore was transferred to the employee stock option reserve. CRISIL noted that the bank’s profitability was better than anticipated, aided by net interest margins of 11.1% (annualised) and credit costs of 2.4%, even as the cost of funds rose slightly due to legacy high-cost borrowings inherited from North East Small Finance Bank. According to the report, the bank’s assets under management (AUM) jumped to Rs 3,759 crore as of September 2025 from Rs 2,954 crore in March 2025, showing rapid growth after the merger became effective in October 2024. The portfolio mix remained dominated by digital unsecured personal loans, which accounted for about 76% of AUM, followed by MSME loans (14%) and other lending categories. Deposits also saw strong traction, which rose 61% in H1 FY26 to Rs 3,896 crore, with a healthy CASA ratio of 27.5%, up from Rs 2,418 crore at the end of FY25. In line with this improved performance, CRISIL revised its outlook on the bank’s Lower Tier-II bonds to ‘Positive’ from ‘Stable’, reaffirming the rating at BBB-. The agency said “the outlook revision reflects SSFB’s strengthening market position, improved profitability, and adequate capitalisation”. As of September 2025, the lender’s capital adequacy ratio stood at 18.1%, supported by a net worth of Rs 891 crore, compared to Rs 849 crore in March 2025. While asset quality remains modest, its gross NPAs declined to 5.8% and net NPAs to 4.2%, down from 6.3% and 4.7% in FY25. CRISIL cautioned that the bank’s ability to sustain its profitability and maintain stable asset quality as it scales operations will be a key rating sensitivity going forward.

Oyo raises $65 Mn from Ritesh Agarwal’s Redsprig Innovation Hospitality major Oyo has raised Rs 550 crore (approximately $65 million) from Redsprig Innovation Partners, an affiliate entity of the company’s founder Ritesh Agarwal. The board at Oyo has passed a special resolution to issue 12,91,07,982 equity shares at an issue price of Rs 42.6 each to raise Rs 550 crore or $65 million, its regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies shows. After the recent funding injection, the company's valuation rose to $3.79 billion, reflecting a 59.2% increase from Oyo's previous Series G round, when the firm was valued at $2.38 billion. As per the filings, the company plans to use these funds for growth, supporting global expansion (including acquisitions), strengthening business strategies, and other corporate initiatives. The funding will also result in a 1.728% dilution of the company's total stake. This is the second major capital infusion by Agarwal in Oyo. In August 2024, he led a $175 million round through his Singapore-based fund, Patient Capital. Last month, a CNBC TV18 report suggested that Nuvama Wealth & Investment Limited (formerly Edelweiss Securities) purchased shares worth Rs 100 crore in Oyo’s parent Oravel Stays Limited. During FY24, IPO-bound Oyo posted a flat scale which stood at Rs 5,389 crore, as compared to Rs 5,464 crore in FY23. Despite the stagnant revenue, the company managed to control its expenditure by 16% which resulted in Oyo posting a net profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 230 crore in the last fiscal (FY24). In May, the Gurugram-based company withdrew its draft papers (DRHP) for the second time due to unfavorable conditions. The firm also said that it will refile the IPO papers after concluding a large funding round, which is about to close after the latest fundraises.

Smartworks cuts losses by 81% in Q2 FY26; posts Rs 425 Cr revenue Managed office space provider Smartworks has posted its quarterly results for the second quarter of the ongoing fiscal year. The firm recorded a sharp 81% cut in losses during Q2 FY26 alongside double-digit revenue growth. Smartworks’ revenue from operations rose 21% year-on-year to Rs 425 crore in the quarter ending September 2025 from Rs 350 crore in Q2 FY25, according to its unaudited consolidated financial statements filed with the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Smartworks generated most of its revenue from developing, designing, and licensing serviced office spaces and fit-out services, with additional income from other ancillary offerings. It also booked Rs 16 crore from non-operating activities, pushing total income to Rs 441 crore in the quarter, compared to Rs 361 crore in Q2FY25. On a half-yearly basis, revenue was up nearly 21% to Rs 804 crore in H1 FY26 from Rs 664 crore in H1 FY25. On the cost front, depreciation remained the largest expense at Rs 198 crore, followed by operating expenses of Rs 122 crore. Finance costs, employee benefits, and marketing took the total expenditure to Rs 445 crore, compared to Rs 382 crore in the same quarter last year. The decent growth in scale and cost control mechanisms helped the firm narrow its net loss to Rs 3 crore in Q2 FY26 from Rs 16 crore a year ago. For the six months ended September 2025, its losses were down by 82% to Rs 7 crore in H1 FY26 from Rs 39 crore in H1 FY25. Smartworks listed on the NSE earlier this year at Rs 435 per share, a 7% premium to its IPO price of Rs 407. The stock closed today at Rs 596, valuing the company at Rs 6,818 crore (approximately $769 million). Smartworks competes with Awfis, which went public in May 2024 and currently trades at Rs 595. Awfis posted Rs 355 crore in revenue and Rs 10 crore in net profit in Q1 FY26. The company is yet to file its return for the second quarter.
