Chairperson's Message

"In the last fiscal, your Company witnessed a growth in its top-line, which came after two pandemic-impacted years that saw a broad industry-wide slowdown. As a whole, our businesses saw an improvement in the year, despite concerns arising from sustained input cost inflation and supply chain bottlenecks.

Geopolitical strife hampered supply lines across businesses and impacted raw material costs, especially in the first half of the year. The second half of the year witnessed a relatively subdued festive season on account of sluggish retail spending but the year ended with an uptick in business sentiment in our key segments and a slight softening in raw material prices.

On a full year basis, our Print business posted revenue growth on the back of an improvement in advertising as well as circulation revenue. The revenue of our Radio business has also seen robust growth owing to sustained strength in FCT and improvement in non-FCT performance. Our Digital business performance was at par and this business remains a key focus area for further innovation. Profitability, however remained subdued due to elevated input costs, led by newsprint, and business development expenses in the Digital business.

Indian OTT space is one of the fastest growing pillars of the Media & Entertainment industry. Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd. looks to tap this potential with the launch of OTTPlay.com, a platform which aggregates OTT content, with focus on abundance, convenience, personalisation and affordability.

In the current fiscal, we are focused on building on our growth momentum from last year as we navigate the larger macro environment as well as the evolving media ecosystem. As always, our endeavor is to be a source of credible news and engaging content for our audiences."
