Commentary from the Management

After a Defining Year of Breakthrough Growth & Historic Turnaround in H2 FY26 & FY26, Mr. Hozefa Shabbir Husain Jawadwala, Chairman & Managing Director of Aelea Commodities Limited, said:

“As we reflect on FY26, we believe this year marks far more than just a strong financial performance for Aelea Commodities; it marks the emergence of a fundamentally stronger, sharper, and future- ready enterprise. What the Company has achieved over the past year is the outcome of conviction- led decisions, relentless execution, and the courage to invest ahead of the curve during a phase when the business was still navigating challenges.

FY26 emerged as a defining turning point for Aelea Commodities. The Company delivered Revenue from Operations of ₹381.50 Cr, registering a stellar 109% YoY growth, while EBITDA surged 366% YoY to ₹40.37 Cr. Most significantly, Profit After Tax rose sharply to ₹21.32 Cr, reflecting exceptional YoY growth of 1,739.74%.

The transformation became even more visible during H2 FY26, where the scale of acceleration exceeded expectations. Revenue from Operations grew 120% YoY to ₹207.81 Cr, while EBITDA stood at ₹25.12 Cr and PAT at ₹12.61 Cr, against losses in the corresponding period last year.

These numbers are not merely financial milestones; they reflect the successful conversion of strategy into execution and execution into measurable value creation. Further, this performance was strengthened by key strategic milestones achieved during the year, including the incorporation of two wholly owned subsidiaries, multiple industry recognitions and awards, and the globally recognized FSSC 22000 Certification for the Company’s Surat manufacturing facility.

We remain deeply grateful to every shareholder, stakeholder, and well-wisher who stood by Aelea Commodities during its most challenging phases. True conviction belongs to those who continue believing even in adversity, and that unwavering trust continues to fuel our ambition as we move forward with stronger fundamentals, sharper execution, and an uncompromising vision towards building a globally competitive and future-ready enterprise.”

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 26: Ranjit Innerwear, one of India’s longstanding innerwear brands with a legacy spanning more than five decades, has launched its new campaign ‘Janhit Mein Ranjit’ featuring Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana, aimed at repositioning the brand as a complete innerwear label beyond its widely recognized vest category.

Conceptualized by Zero Gravity Communications, the campaign addresses the widespread consumer perception that primarily associates Ranjit with baniyans or vests, despite the brand offering a wider range of innerwear products, including briefs, trunks, and other essentials.

Drawing inspiration from the familiar language of “Janhit Mein Jaari” public-interest messages, the campaign uses humour, relatability, and everyday storytelling to communicate the broader identity of the brand. Through culturally rooted narratives and slice-of-life moments, the campaign positions Ranjit as a comprehensive “top-to-bottom” innerwear brand designed for everyday Indian men.

The campaign marks an important brand evolution for Ranjit, which has built consumer trust over more than 50 years through its focus on quality, comfort, and reliability. Today, the company offers a complete range of men’s innerwear products catering to changing consumer preferences and evolving lifestyle needs.

Speaking about the campaign, the Marketing Manager of Ranjit Innerwear said, “The ‘Janhit Mein Ranjit’ campaign reflects our efforts to strengthen consumer awareness around our existing and expanding product portfolio while retaining the legacy and trust associated with the Ranjit brand.”

Ranjit’s brand ambassador, Ayushmann Khurrana, said, “I have been associated with Ranjit since 2019, and what I feel for this brand goes beyond a professional relationship. It is a genuine sense of pride. Ranjit is a 50-year-old legacy, and that kind of trust is never built overnight. What excites me most about ‘Janhit Mein Ranjit’ is that we are finally telling the complete story of the brand. People know the vest, but Ranjit is much more than just that, and this campaign is our way of introducing India to the full picture.”

Khushboo Sharma, Founder and Director of Zero Gravity Communications, said the objective was to expand the brand’s identity without disrupting the trust it has built over generations.

“Ranjit is one of those rare brands that enjoys genuine affection from consumers, but that association has largely remained limited to one legacy product category. Our approach was to evolve the conversation in a way that felt warm, honest, and deeply Indian. ‘Janhit Mein Ranjit’ has been designed as a culturally familiar and relatable campaign that introduces consumers to the brand’s wider innerwear portfolio,” she said.

‘Janhit Mein Ranjit’ is not intended as a one-time advertising initiative, but the beginning of a larger content-led campaign series that will continue to explore different aspects of the brand through relatable and engaging storytelling.

With Ayushmann Khurrana continuing as the face of the brand, the campaign seeks to
strengthen engagement with younger consumers while reinforcing Ranjit’s identity as a trusted everyday innerwear brand for Indian men.

Founded by 17-year-old Mumbai student Saachi Pasari, Hangover’s debut luxury womenswear drop sold out within days.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 26: A new independent luxury fashion label is entering India’s growing premium womenswear market. Founded by 17-year-old Mumbai student Saachi Pasari, Hangover officially launched earlier this year with a limited-edition debut collection that sold out within days of its digital release. The label positions itself within the growing space between occasion wear and contemporary nightlife fashion, offering statement silhouettes designed for younger consumers seeking exclusivity and elevated styling. The debut collection includes dresses featuring intricate hand embroidery, detailed handwork, and embellishments created using high-quality stones, beads, and crystals. The collection draws inspiration from nightlife culture, modern glamour, and current fashion trends while focusing on wearability and comfort.

Limited Drops and Growing Consumer Demand

Rather than operating on a large-scale production model, Hangover follows a limited monthly drop format, releasing small quantities of designs at a time. The strategy reflects a broader shift within the luxury fashion industry, where exclusivity and scarcity increasingly drive consumer demand, particularly among Gen Z audiences. The brand’s early traction also highlights the growing influence of digitally native luxury labels emerging from India. Despite maintaining a relatively small social media presence during launch, Hangover reportedly generated strong initial demand across multiple cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Singapore, and Los Angeles.

Craftsmanship at the Core of the Brand

A major focus for the label is craftsmanship and garment detailing. According to the brand, each piece undergoes extensive embroidery and tailoring work, with some garments requiring up to 200 man-hours before completion. The production process combines hand-finished embellishment techniques with contemporary silhouettes intended for modern eveningwear consumers. Hangover’s designs also emphasize premium fabrics and limited-edition construction. The brand says its focus is on creating pieces that feel “young, bold, and personal,” while prioritizing high-quality craftsmanship and statement design elements. This approach is becoming increasingly common among newer luxury labels attempting to distinguish themselves in a saturated premium fashion market.

The Inspiration Behind ‘Hangover’

The name “Hangover” itself is inspired by the idea of memorable nights, celebration, and high-energy experiences. According to the founder, the brand was created to make wearers feel confident, glamorous, and expressive through fashion choices that stand out while remaining easy to style. While the brand is still in its early stages, Hangover enters the market at a time when Indian luxury consumers are increasingly shifting toward homegrown designer labels rather than relying solely on international brands. Over the past few years, India’s premium fashion segment has seen growing demand for limited-run collections, handcrafted garments, and occasion-focused dressing, particularly among younger shoppers influenced by social media and nightlife culture.

Balancing Education and Entrepreneurship

Pasari, who is currently completing her studies at the German International School in Mumbai, has balanced the launch of the brand alongside academic commitments. While Hangover remains independently positioned, the founder has acknowledged receiving operational guidance from her father, Abhishek Pasari, who leads textile company ABP Industries. However, the brand’s positioning, visual direction, and market identity have been developed specifically for a younger fashion audience. According to Pasari, the team spent several months researching consumer behavior and identifying gaps within the premium womenswear space before launching the collection.

What’s Next for the Brand

Industry observers note that digitally led fashion businesses are increasingly reducing reliance on traditional retail models. Brands targeting younger luxury shoppers are instead focusing on curated online drops, exclusivity-driven marketing, and community-led visibility. Hangover appears to be following this approach, using selective releases and highly stylized visual branding to create demand rather than pursuing large-scale inventory expansion. The brand is now preparing for future monthly drops while also exploring physical retail expansion in Mumbai. According to the company, plans are underway for a flagship storefront that would allow customers to experience the garments, fabrics, and detailing in person. As India’s independent luxury fashion space continues to evolve, Hangover represents a new generation of youth-led labels blending handcrafted design, digital-first strategy, and limited-edition exclusivity. Its early response suggests there is increasing appetite among younger consumers for contemporary Indian brands that combine premium craftsmanship with modern nightlife-inspired aesthetics.

New Delhi [India], May 26: In a world where mobility is often taken for granted, Evox is emerging as a brand determined to change the narrative around disability, aging, and independence. More than just an assistive technology company, Evox is building a movement focused on restoring dignity, confidence, and freedom for individuals with mobility challenges.

Operating in the rapidly growing assistive mobility and healthcare innovation sector, Evox is redefining what mobility solutions should represent. The company believes that disability is not inability — the real challenge lies in inaccessible environments, lack of awareness, and limited access to reliable mobility support. Through thoughtfully designed electric wheelchairs and mobility solutions, Evox aims to bridge the gap between people and possibilities.

At the heart of Evox’s mission is a simple but powerful belief: mobility is not a luxury; it is a basic human right.

Across India, millions of elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and those recovering from injuries struggle daily with dependence and restricted movement. While technology has evolved in many industries, assistive mobility often remains overlooked, expensive, or designed without considering the emotional and practical realities of users. Evox seeks to challenge that approach by creating products designed with empathy, not just engineering.

Every Evox mobility solution is crafted to prioritize user comfort, dignity, independence, and ease of use. The company combines premium quality with practical affordability, ensuring that mobility support is not limited to a privileged few. Beyond product innovation, Evox places strong emphasis on after-sales service and customer care, recognizing that trust and support are critical for users and their families.

“Our goal is not simply to sell wheelchairs,” said a spokesperson from Evox. “We want to restore confidence, independence, and the ability for people to live life on their own terms. A wheelchair should not symbolize limitation — it should symbolize possibility.”

What sets Evox apart in the mobility solutions market is its human-centered philosophy. While many companies focus solely on technical specifications, Evox focuses on the lived experiences of individuals navigating daily life with mobility challenges. The company actively listens to users, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and rehabilitation experts to design products that solve real-world problems.

This vision is especially relevant in a country like India, where conversations around accessibility and independent living are only beginning to gain momentum. From uneven infrastructure to social stigma, mobility challenges extend far beyond physical movement. Evox believes that meaningful change requires not only innovative products but also greater awareness and empathy within society.

The company is actively investing in digital storytelling, customer success campaigns, and educational initiatives to shift public perception around disability and aging. Through real stories of resilience and empowerment, Evox aims to inspire conversations about inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunity.

For caregivers and families, mobility solutions often become deeply emotional decisions. Dependence can impact not only physical well-being but also mental health, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Evox understands this emotional dimension and strives to create solutions that empower both users and their support systems.

Healthcare institutions and rehabilitation centers are also becoming increasingly important partners in Evox’s mission. By collaborating with hospitals, therapists, and care providers, the company hopes to create a broader ecosystem that supports independent living and long-term mobility care.

As part of its long-term vision, Evox aims to become India’s most trusted electric wheelchair brand while expanding globally as a premium mobility solutions provider. The company plans to continue innovating in assistive technology and developing products that adapt to evolving user needs.

However, for Evox, growth is not measured solely by market share or revenue. Success is measured by impact  the ability to help someone step outside independently, reconnect with society, regain confidence, or simply move through daily life with dignity.
