Prosus surpasses financial targets with $7.4 billion annual earnings
Dutch technology investor Prosus on Monday reported full-year core headline earnings of $7.4 billion, up 47% year-on-year and exceeding its financial targets, bolstered by its expansion in lifestyle ecommerce.
The company said ecommerce revenue grew 21% to $6.2 billion, fuelled by advances in artificial intelligence and innovation, as it continued to expand in Latin America, Europe, and India.
Prosus, owned by South African technology investor Naspers, is pivoting from an investment group to a lifestyle tech company, a strategic shift that BofA highlighted in a note prior to the earnings publication as a key enabler that could boost financial yields and shift its investment case.

IIT Bombay CSR Conclave 2025 launches catalogue of 276 projects, strengthens tech-driven industry partnerships
MUMBAI: At IIT Bombay's base in Powai, amidst its vibrant academic environment, a significant gathering took place. On June 6, 2025, more than 500 participants, including corporate leaders, donors, academics, students and key stakeholders in India's development, assembled for the annual CSR Conclave. The conference centred on 'Fuelling Technology for Nation Building', emphasising the integration of governance and determination. The discussions highlighted two crucial aspects: the necessity for corporate social responsibility to deliver quantifiable results, and technology's potential to influence national development when applied thoughtfully. Prof. Shireesh Kedare, IIT Bombay's Director, commenced with a strategic opening address: "CSR partnerships thrive on transparency, trust, and systems that don't slow down ambition." His words were supported by substantial achievements—81 new partnerships established in 2024–25, with over 140 companies integrating their CSR objectives with IIT's technological initiatives. "We've created structures that corporations can rely on," Kedare noted, "because social transformation deserves more than good intentions—it needs accountability." Following this, alumnus Ashank Desai, a successful technology entrepreneur, presented his perspective on IIT Bombay's future direction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...
