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.

In a strategic move to sharpen its identity as a lifestyle and hospitality tech conglomerate, Oravel Stays has introduced a new parent brand PRISM Life (shortened as PRISM). 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
Medial

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.

Medial

Digital investment platform Groww on Wednesday reported its first set of quarterly results since listing on the stock exchanges. The company posted a 25% rise in revenue during the third quarter, although its profit declined by 28% over the same period. The company’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 1,216 crore in Q3 FY26 from Rs 974.5 crore in the same quarter last year, according to its financial statement sourced from NSE. Other income contributed an additional Rs 45 crore, which drove its total income to Rs 1,261 crore for the quarter. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the company’s income rose by 19% from Rs 1,019 crore in Q2 FY26. However, for the nine months period ending December 2025, the firm’s revenue remained flat at Rs 3,139 crore. On the expense side, employee benefit was the largest burn which accounted for 30% of the total expense at Rs 157 crore in Q3 FY26. Finance cost stood at Rs 10 crore, while depreciation cost added Rs 9 crore to the total expense which stood at Rs 515.5 crore in Q3 FY26. Groww’s net profit decreased by 28% to Rs 547 crore in Q3 FY26 as compared to Rs 757 crore in Q3 FY25. For the nine months period ending December 2025, the company reported a profit of Rs 1,397 crore. Sequentially, Groww reported a 16% surge in net profit (PAT) to Rs 547 crore in Q3 FY26 from Rs 471 crore in Q2 FY26. The year-on-year decline was largely due to a one-time gain (net of taxes) of Rs 315 crore booked in Q3 FY25. Groww made a strong debut on the Indian stock exchanges in November last year, listing at Rs 114 per share on the BSE, a 14% premium over its issue price despite a muted grey market premium (GMP) of around 3%. On the NSE, the stock opened at Rs 112. Groww India’s share is trading at Rs 158 (as of 12:51 PM), giving the company a total market capitalization of Rs 97,595 crore ($11.21 billion).
