New Delhi, Feb 13:  Osho Dham observed Disciple Day with devotion and reflection, of the birth anniversary of Ma Yog Laxmi, the first disciple and first secretary of Osho. The day is dedicated not to personality or position, but to the essence of discipleship. Seekers and meditators gathered to honor her life as a living example of surrender, trust and total alignment with the Master. The morning featured a book reading and sharing session on The Only Life by Rashid Maxwell, offering insights into Ma Laxmi’s journey of ego-transcendence and unwavering commitment to Osho’s vision.

Throughout the sessions, participants reflected on what it truly means to be a disciple. Ma Yog Laxmi’s life was remembered as one of devotion without doubt, work without ego and awareness in action. Osho had described her as a “perfect vehicle,” acknowledging her ability to function as a transparent medium for his work. Her simplicity, tireless energy and absolute faith remain an inspiration for seekers navigating the path of inner transformation.

Speaking on the occasion, Ma Dharm Jyoti, a long-time disciple of Osho, said, “Disciple Day is not only about remembering Ma Laxmi; it is about rediscovering the disciple within ourselves. She showed us that discipleship is not blind obedience, but deep harmony, a courageous inner ‘Yes’ to the Master and to existence. Her life reminds us that surrender, when rooted in awareness, becomes a doorway to immense strength and grace.”

The celebration concluded with the inauguration of the art exhibition “Divine Intervention” by young Osho sannyasin Ma Prem Arpita (Hiral Singhal). Her meditative and intuitive paintings, reflecting innocence and inner trust, were unveiled by Ma Dharm Jyoti. The exhibition added a creative dimension to the day’s events, reinforcing the spirit of offering and presence. Through meditation, remembrance and art, Disciple Day at Osho Dham reaffirmed the timeless bond between Master and disciple, a celebration of the transformative power of a total inner “Yes.”

Pune/Mumbai, Feb 13: SportsSkill has announced a lead investment from Mr Nirav Mody for its newly launched venture, SportsSkill Ladder—a technology-enabled community platform designed to bring structured, competitive sports to players across skill levels through an innovative ladder-based ranking system.

The investment marks Mr Mody’s expanded commitment to the SportsSkill ecosystem. As one of the early investors in SportsSkill, Mr. Mody has significantly increased his stake to serve as Lead Investor in SportsSkill Ladder, a newly registered LLP focused on building scalable sports communities across multiple disciplines. His continued backing demonstrates strong confidence in the founding team’s vision and execution capabilities.

Addressing a Growing Market Opportunity

India’s sports ecosystem is witnessing unprecedented growth, with approximately 23% of the population—over 300 million people—actively participating in sports and fitness activities. The sports technology market is projected to reach ₹49,500 crore (USD 5.70 billion) by FY29, growing at a CAGR of 13%, while the broader sports and fitness goods market is expected to reach USD 3,851 million by 2033.

Despite this massive participation, community-level competitive sports remain largely unorganized. Government initiatives such as the National Sports Policy 2025 and the Khelo India programs have significantly boosted grassroots infrastructure and participation, allocating ₹3,794 crore for FY 2025-26 toward sports development. However, recreational athletes continue to struggle to find consistent competition, access transparent skill-based rankings, and track measurable progression—challenges that technology can uniquely address.

Racquet sports and team sports are experiencing significant growth across India, with tennis, badminton, table tennis, cricket, football, and emerging sports like pickleball gaining rapid traction in metro cities and tier-2 urban centres. The racquet sports equipment market in Asia-Pacific is forecast to grow at 8.52% CAGR, reflecting surging participation rates across multiple sports disciplines.

Technology-First Approach to Community-Driven Sports

SportsSkill Ladder leverages technology to solve longstanding challenges in recreational and competitive sports—such as inconsistent competition, opaque rankings, and difficulty building engaged sports communities. The platform’s innovative ladder-based ranking system empowers players to:

• Create custom ladders for their society, recreational club, or friend groups
• Invite friends or teams to join and compete within structured formats
• Build and engage with verified competitive communities
• Track transparent, skill-based rankings across multiple sports
• Access organized match play and competition—all at their fingertips

The beta version of the SportsSkill Ladder platform is currently live on Android and iOS, enabling users to experience the product firsthand and explore how customizable ladders can transform their sports communities.

Investment to Drive Product Enhancement and Launch

The lead investment will be deployed to enhance the platform’s features, refine the user experience, and prepare for the full product launch. Currently in beta, SportsSkill Ladder is focused on building a robust, scalable product that serves diverse sports communities across team, racquet, and individual competitive formats. The investment enables the team to strengthen the technology foundation before wider market rollout.

Leadership Perspectives

Commenting on the investment and launch, Chetan Desai, Co-founder, SportsSkill, said: “Community sports in India have immense participation but lack structured competitive frameworks. SportsSkill Ladder addresses this gap by enabling players to create their own ladders, build communities, and compete with transparent rankings—all accessible at their fingertips. Securing this investment from Nirav, who has both the business expertise and genuine passion for sports, gives us the resources and strategic guidance to build a world-class product. His continued confidence in our vision—having been one of our early investors and now serving as our Lead Investor—validates the community-building approach we’re taking and strengthens our ability to deliver a platform that truly serves players’ needs.”

Abhinav Sinha, Co-founder, SportsSkill, added: “We’ve built SportsSkill Ladder with a technology-first approach to solve real problems players face—finding consistent competition, building engaged communities, and accessing transparent skill-based rankings. Nirav was very interested in this app feature and extremely excited about its potential to transform community sports. Our beta platform is already live and enabling users to create custom ladders for their societies, clubs, or friend groups—everything accessible in just a few taps. This investment accelerates our product development roadmap, enabling us to refine the platform and prepare for a strong market launch while maintaining the quality and user experience that competitive sports demand.”

Speaking on his investment decision, Mr Nirav Mody, Lead Investor, SportsSkill Ladder, commented: “Structured competitive ecosystems are essential for sustained sports participation. SportsSkill Ladder introduces a scalable and technology-led framework that enables players to build their own communities, compete consistently, and track transparent rankings. The platform addresses a genuine gap in how community sports are organized in India. As an early investor in SportsSkill, I’ve witnessed the team’s commitment and execution capabilities firsthand. The beta product’s innovative approach to custom ladders and community building gives me strong conviction in their ability to create a category-defining platform, which is why I’ve increased my investment to serve as Lead Investor for this venture.”

Bengaluru, Feb 13: Stanley Lifestyles Ltd, incorporated in 2007, is a leading home-grown luxury and super- premium furniture brand in India, offering end-to-end solutions across design, manufacturing, and retail, ensuring full quality control and superior customer experience has announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter & nine months ended December 31^st, 2025.

Consolidated Key Financial Highlights: 

 For the third quarter ended December 31^st, 2025:

• Revenue from Operations Q3FY26 was ₹ 1,038 mn subdued by 5.4% YoY primarily impacted by near-term demand softness
• EBITDA margins have reduced by 680 bps YoY to 11.9% in Q3FY26 from 18.7% in Q3FY25.
• In Q3FY26, PAT showed a loss of ₹ 2 mn compared to profit of ₹ 89 mn in Q3FY25. This decline was mainly due to higher depreciation, finance costs and expenses arising from new stores, which are yet to reach optimal utilization and generate commensurate returns.

For the Nine Months ended December 31^st, 2025:

• Revenue from Operations in 9M FY26 was ₹ 3,179 mn registering a growth of 1.4 % YoY. The modest growth reflects evolving consumer preferences, with a noticeable shift toward value-oriented products.
• The company recorded a 6.2% growth in gross profit in 9MFY26 compared to the corresponding period last year, supported by an improved product mix and operational efficiencies.
• EBITDA margins decreased slightly by 10 bps to 18.8% in 9MFY26 from 18.9% in 9MFY25.
• The reported PAT for 9M FY26 stood at ₹ 136 mn, lower by 26.1% compared to ₹ 184 mn in 9M FY25. The reduction in profitability was primarily attributable to higher depreciation and finance costs associated with store expansion and ongoing investments in growth infrastructure

Commenting on the overall performance of the Company, Mr. Sunil Suresh, Managing Director, Stanley Lifestyles Ltd, said, “We are pleased to report resilient gross profit growth of 6.2% in 9M FY26, reflecting the underlying strength of our brand and operating model. While the bottom line has been impacted during the period, this is largely attributable to our strategic investments in strengthening the leadership team and expanding our retail footprint, which have resulted in higher near-term costs.

Encouragingly, we are witnessing improving handovers and maintain a healthy order pipeline, which gives us confidence in delivering stronger performance in the coming quarters.

We are also proud to share that both our manufacturing facilities have been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This is an important milestone that positions us well to benefit from evolving industry regulations. With the Furniture Quality Control Order (QCO) expected to be implemented by the end of this financial year, we believe our preparedness and compliance will create meaningful competitive advantages.

As global consumer preferences continue to shift towards premium, experiential luxury, our unwavering focus on craftsmanship, design excellence, and exclusivity reinforces our positioning for sustained relevance and long-term growth.

Going forward, we remain focused on deepening our COCO network and curating timeless collections that resonate with evolving luxury sensibilities, while building a foundation for scalable and profitable growth”
