Chandigarh, November 13, 2025: – Uber today announced that teens in India can now sign themselves up on the app by linking their accounts directly, making the process faster and more flexible for the use of its Uber Teens product in India. The update is part of a broader set of enhancements to Uber’s Teens and Family features, aimed at making travel safer, simpler, and more inclusive for families across generations.

With this new self-onboarding process, teens gain the independence to manage their own Uber accounts while guardians retain full visibility and control. Uber has also extended Uber One membership benefits to teens, ensuring that if a guardian has an active Uber One Membership, the teen enjoys the same perks, with cashback accruing in the family’s member hub. More people in the family using Uber now means more savings for those with Uber One membership.

These updates to Uber for Teens have been made keeping in mind how tech-savvy and independent today’s teenagers are. Young users are often early adopters who lead the way in exploring new apps, digital services, and features, often influencing how their families use technology. By allowing teens to sign themselves up on the platform with guardian approval, Uber is making it easier for them to experience safe and supervised travel while building familiarity with the app. The change aligns with how teens engage with technology today and helps foster responsible mobility habits early in life.

For families, Uber has made it easier to stay connected by removing the need for a shared payment method. Users can now create a Family profile without a common credit card, making it simpler to add multiple members – each of them using their own payment method, cash or digital.

Speaking on the updates, Shiva Shailendran, Director, Consumer Growth, Uber India and South Asia, said, “We understand that every family is different, and the needs within a household can vary widely. Teens today are far more independent, and we wanted to give them the flexibility to manage their own Uber accounts in a safe and supervised way, with approval from their guardians. At the same time, we are making it easier for families to stay connected on the platform and ensure that everyone, from teens to seniors, can travel comfortably and confidently.”

Uber has also introduced a dedicated Seniors profile in India, designed for older users who prefer a lighter, more accessible experience. Guardians can track rides, request trips, and manage saved places for their loved ones, while seniors benefit from an automatic switch to simple mode, which features larger text, fewer buttons, and easy-to-follow screens.

Nisus Finance Reports H1 FY26 Results; Consolidated Revenue at INR 142.3 Crore, Higher Than FY25 Full-Year Revenue of INR 67.3 Crore

Mumbai, November 13, 2025: Nisus Finance Services Co. Ltd. (BSE: NISUS) has delivered its strongest half-yearly performance to date, with H1 FY26 results surpassing full-year FY25 metrics and signalling a new scale of growth for the business. The company posted INR 74.89 crore in revenue from its core operations during H1 FY26, already exceeding the full FY25 revenue of INR 67.30 crore. The company achieved consolidated revenues (including New Consolidated Construction Co. Ltd. or NCCCL) of INR 142.30 crore in the first half, up sharply from INR 34.36 crore in H1 FY25, representing exceptional year-on-year expansion.

The sequential momentum remains robust: Q2 revenue stood at INR 46.17 crore, up 61% over INR 28.72 crore in Q1 FY26, driven by realisation of investment gains, increased transaction flow and enhanced contributions from both Indian and UAE operations. EBITDA for the half year reached INR 62 crore consolidated, with the ex-NCCCL margin hovering around 74%, one of the highest in the industry. Profit after tax (PAT) reached INR 35.6 crore, reflecting disciplined cost management, high operating leverage and diversified income streams.

Commenting on the results, Amit Goenka, Managing Director of Nisus Finance, said: “Our H1 results reflect the disciplined execution of our growth strategy and the value of our diversification across geographies, asset classes and business models. The acquisition and integration of NCCCL, the Dubai expansion and the strengthening of our capital base have positioned Nisus as a genuinely diversified alternative-investment and infrastructure platform with a global edge. We enter the next phase with clarity of purpose and confidence.”

The acquisition and integration of New Consolidated Construction Co. Ltd. (NCCCL) marked a significant milestone in Nisus’s growth journey, creating a fully integrated urban infrastructure platform with financing, asset management, and execution capabilities. NCCCL brought in FY25 revenue of INR 608 crore and an order-book of over INR 2,350 crore across 30+ projects with AAA developers. With a targeted 2× increase in its order-book to INR 5,000 crore with higher margin order book mix including— data centres, hospitals, institutional buildings, Grade-A offices, and industrial facilities, the platform provides significant scale potential and operational diversification.

Internationally, Nisus made its largest global investment to date in a 24-storey residential tower in Dubai’s Motor City — for INR 525 crore. Acquired at a deep discount to market value, the asset delivers a rental upside of ~38% and projected IRR in the range of 24%–32%. The transaction reinforces Nisus’s GCC strategy and positions Dubai as a core investment hub for its global real-estate business.

Complementing these strategic moves, Nisus achieved a landmark credit-rating milestone by becoming the first Indian AIF business to secure a BBB+ rating from CareEdge, signalling institutional-grade governance standards, zero-loss investment history and consistent investor returns. Balance-sheet indicators are equally compelling: the INR 110 crore facility raised for NCCCL’s acquisition has already been partly repaid by INR 60 crore via stake sales and internal accruals, share pledge levels have been reduced to ~18-19% and the company’s own capital contribution in investments has increased from INR 48 crore to INR 106 crore, indicating promoter conviction and financial discipline.

On the people and culture front, Nisus has introduced an ESOP programme to reward top performers, was awarded by prestigious Global Real Estate Institute in the “Fundraising of the Year” category for a uniquely structured INR 145 crore investment by our Fund and has earned the Great Place to Work® certification for 2025, reinforcing its commitment to culture, talent and performance.

With a high-quality platform, expanding footprint, strong balance sheet and a scalable business model, Nisus Finance is well-positioned to sustain momentum and deliver differentiated value to investors, partners and stakeholders.

Mumbai, India, November 13, 2025: – Nazara Technologies Limited (“Nazara”), a diversified global gaming platform, announced its financial results for Q2 and H1FY26, supported by sustained momentum across mobile gaming, PC/console publishing, and offline interactive gaming.

For H1FY26, Nazara reported revenues of INR 1,025.2 crore, growing 80.2% year-on-year, and EBITDA of INR 109.4 crore, an increase of 118.5% year-on-year. Core gaming EBITDA margin expanded to 23.2%, reflecting the strength of Nazara’s diversified portfolio. In Q2FY26, the company delivered revenues of INR 526.5 crore, up 65.1% year-on-year, and EBITDA of INR 62.0 crore, growing 146.4% year-on-year. Growth during the quarter was led by improving retention, deeper LiveOps engagement, and cross-platform distribution across mobile, console, and PC.

Mobile gaming remained the strongest contributor, led by global franchises such as Love Island, Big Brother, Kiddopia, Animal Jam, and WCC, supported by recurring content seasons and strong engagement metrics. Nazara’s PC/console publishing business continued to perform steadily through evergreen global titles like Human: Fall Flat, alongside incremental gains from catalogue monetization and platform expansion. Offline interactive entertainment brands Smaaash and Funky Monkeys delivered profitable growth driven by standardized centre playbooks, growing repeat footfall, and disciplined expansion.

Nazara’s Centers of Excellence in User Acquisition, Analytics, AI, and Growth are now deployed across multiple studios and franchises, improving LTV/CAC, retention, and marketing payback periods, while enabling faster and more data-led decision-making across the portfolio.

During the quarter, new regulations in India’s online skill-based real-money gaming space prompted Nazara to record an impairment on its investment in Moonshine Technologies (PokerBaazi) based on fair valuation as per accounting standards. Also, Nazara’s stake in Nodwin Gaming reduced below 50%, resulting in de-subsidiarization of the business. Consequently, Nazara measured its retained stake in Nodwin Gaming at fair value, leading to a one-time gain.

Commenting on the results, Nitish Mittersain, Joint Managing Director & CEO of Nazara Technologies, said: “Nazara continued strengthening its position as an IP-led, global gaming platform. In H1FY26, core gaming revenues grew 159% and EBITDA grew 253%, driven by deeper LiveOps engagement, global scale, and strong unit economics across mobile, console, and PC. We are evolving from publishing individual games to building and scaling long-term franchises. Our Centres of Excellence in UA, Analytics, AI, and Growth are creating portfolio-wide operating leverage. The accounting adjustments this quarter, including the Moonshine impairment and NODWIN fair value gain, are one-time items and do not impact operating cash flows or the momentum of our core business. As we complete 25 years, we refreshed our brand identity, including a new logo and our brand positioning line ‘Enter. Magic.’ in step with our commitment towards delivering magical, interactive gaming experiences to our global player base.”

Event was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, in the presence of the Nobel Laureate Professor Andre Geim from the University of Manchester.

Alongside, we have launched the Research Development and Innovation Scheme with a budget allocation of ₹1 lakh crore.”

During a panel on Artificial Intelligence, Prof. P. Venkat Rangan, Vice Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, highlighted the university’s human-centred approach to AI, stating, “Artificial Intelligence enhances human intelligence and addresses large-scale societal challenges such as healthcare delivery, disaster prediction, education, and sustainable development.

Hyderabad/Delhi, 13th November 2025: Mahindra University’s School of Law has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Arbitration and Mediation (IIAM) to establish the Seeding Centre for Peace and Justice, which is essentially an Institutional Arbitration and Mediation Centre on its campus.

The initiative forms part of IIAM’s ‘Gateway to Justice’ (G2J) project, a nationwide initiative that aims to set up these centres at law schools across India. The project’s goal is to enhance access to justice and promote a culture of amicable dispute resolution.

The Mahindra University Seeding Centre for Peace and Justice will serve as a consortium partner of the IIAM G2J project and function as an affiliated centre under IIAM’s online dispute resolution platform, ‘Peacegate’. Through this collaboration, students, faculty, alumni, and the community will have access to real-time dispute resolution, mediation, arbitration, and case management, integrating practice with legal education.

According to Dr Yajulu Medury, Vice Chancellor, Mahindra University, “With a strong focus on interdisciplinary education and experiential learning, our collaboration will enable the exchange of knowledge and broaden their perspectives while preparing them to become industry-ready professionals. The establishment of the “Seeding Centre for Peace and Justice” at Mahindra University marks a significant milestone in experiential legal education in institutional arbitration and mediation. It reflects our commitment to creating a learning ecosystem that goes beyond theoretical understanding. We aim to nurture practical competence and social responsibility by bringing real cases into our education system. We are not only enhancing the professional readiness of our students but also contributing meaningfully to bring accessible justice for the community.”

This JDC will also be complemented by the Mahindra International Dispute Resolution Centre, which will operate as a full-scale institutional ADR facility housed on the university campus. The Mahindra International Dispute Resolution Centre will serve as a training ground for students and young professionals to manage real cases, offering a vital resource to the community.

Anil Xavier, President, Indian Institute of Arbitration and Mediation (IIAM), said, “Law schools have always been justice training centers and not delivery centers. By establishing these Centers, we are enabling students to undertake real-time work so that by the time they graduate, they are industry-ready and equipped with real-world experience. We aim to transform law schools from mere training grounds into active hubs of justice delivery, where students and young professionals manage real cases, offering a vital resource to the community. This initiative will also benefit the public at large, as they won’t have to go to court for adjudication and dispute resolution—they can instead approach the law schools.”

The centres will host institutional and ad-hoc arbitration and mediation, provide training programmes in accordance with IIAM’s approved schedule, and help cultivate a panel of student, faculty, and professional mediators and arbitrators. The initiative also aims to benefit the broader community by offering accessible dispute resolution beyond traditional courts.

“This MoU is a pathbreaking initiative as it offers our law students professional training, a significant change from the typical simulations or mock exercises. This partnership is a crucial step in bridging the gap between classroom theory and professional practice. The programmes’ focus on mediation advocacy, arbitration advocacy, case management, and adjudication in real-world settings provides students with a distinct readiness advantage, preparing them for the challenges of the legal profession. It is a paradigm shift in law education,” emphasised Dr E.R. Jayram, Dean, School of Law, Mahindra University.

Under the collaboration, Mahindra University and the Indian Institute of Arbitration and Mediation (IIAM) will organise joint workshops, seminars and research projects, all aimed at further promoting ADR practices.
