Sudhir Agarwal, Managing Director, DB Corp Ltd, said, “Our performance in Q3FY25 contributing to the highest ever nine-month performance, even on the back of a high base is a confidence-booster for us and underscores our strategic focus on Content over Noise, Truth over Trends in our editorial strategy which has brought us rich dividends. The festive season saw strong demand from advertisers and while there has been some softening thereafter, we continue to remain optimistic. Our digital business continues to support our omni-channel market leadership. With global economic performance remains sluggish, the Indian economy, driven by domestic consumption, continues to drive our key markets and advertisers while our circulation teams have been active in driving engagement. These pillars will augur well as we set to not only cement our leadership position, but continue to look for windows of opportunity to push growth.”
