Santosh Raveshia, managing director, DOMS Industries, said, We are pleased to report a resilient performance in FY 2025, achieved amidst a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and evolving market dynamics. Our continued focus on execution and operational discipline has helped us deliver an encouraging revenue growth of nearly 25%. This growth was supported by steady performance across our core categories, the launch of new products, and the smooth integration of Uniclan. In recognition of this performance, the board has recommended a dividend of Rs 3.15 per share, subject to shareholder approval.
As we remain committed to our long-term vision, we continue to invest in expanding our product portfolio, scaling our capacities, and strengthening our market presence. The board-approved acquisition of a 51% stake in Super Treads Private Limited - a Siliguri-based paper stationery company - aligns well with this strategy. It will enhance our production capabilities in the paper stationery segment and improve our ability to serve the growing demand in East India.
Looking ahead, while we remain watchful of external uncertainties, we are optimistic about a gradual recovery in domestic demand. In FY 2026, we aim to maintain our double-digit growth trajectory, underpinned by planned capacity enhancements in scholastic stationery, office supplies, and paper stationery. With our 44-acre land parcel construction underway in full swing, with anticipated possession of the first building by Q3 FY26 and the beginning of commercial production slated for Q4 FY26, we're poised to sustain our growth momentum, leveraging the expanded capacities. Building on a focused growth strategy and strong business fundamentals, we will continue to drive value creation through prudent, profitable initiatives that position us well for the future.

Family Hive LLC , her company, just filed a trademark lawsuit and is also dealing with the fallout from a well-known harassment case. Lively is having a rough time both personally and professionally. Her business is trying to protect its name, but sales are falling and she is still in legal trouble with co-star Justin Baldoni . Why is Blake Lively's brand suing another company? Blake Brown , Blake Lively's growing hair care company, is in a trademark fight with a company based in Utah. According to recent court filings, Utah-based businesswoman Kimberlie Hamner, the owner of the Beauty by Blake trademark, is being sued by Lively's company, Family Hive LLC. The haircare brand Blake Lively is fighting to stop the competition's "Beauty By Blake" trademark. According to the lawsuit, consumers may become confused by Hamner's trademark because it is too similar to Blake Lively's brand name, as quoted in a report by the Blast. Live Events The Blake Brown product line was formally introduced at Target this summer, but the trademarks were all submitted in 2023 and are still pending approval. Notably, following Blake Lively's filings, Hamner submitted her Beauty by Blake trademark application in September 2024 with the intention of marketing "cosmetic oils" and "serums for cosmetic purposes." What did the court documents reveal? Leo M. Loughlin, the lawyer for Family Hive, stated in the document that was obtained by the Daily Mail that the competing trademark presents a likelihood of confusion and has the potential to damage the Blake Brown brand. He added that Hamner has "no connection whatsoever" to Family Hive and that his products could give consumers the false impression that the company is associated with or supports them.

Luxury skincare expansion: L'Oreal acquires majority stake in Medik8; announces 1 billion Euro deal
Cosmetics maker L'Oreal agreed to acquire a majority stake in British skincare brand Medik8, in a strategic move to strengthen its presence in the booming skincare market. The French beauty giant announced the deal on Monday, though financial terms were not disclosed. The transaction, which sees UK-based private equity firm Inflexion selling its majority holding, reportedly values Medik8 at around 1 billion Euro, according to a source familiar with the matter. Inflexion will retain a minority share, while L'Oreal has secured the option to eventually buy out all remaining shareholders, Reuters reported. 'We are delighted to welcome Medik8 to the L'Oréal family. As a premium skincare range, with high levels of proven efficacy at an accessible price point, Medik8 perfectly complements our existing skincare portfolio,' Cyril Chaupuy, president of L'oreal Luxe said. 'This acquisition further strengthens L'Oreal's luxe portfolio, adding a premium science-backed skincare brand with a proven track record of success, with strong potential for global growth,' the company said in a statement. L'Oreal will begin consolidating Medik8's sales once the transaction officially closes. The acquisition is expected to be finalised in the coming months, pending regulatory approvals and standard closing conditions. Simon Coble, CEO of Medik8 also expressed excitement on the brand's behalf. 'I am delighted to be joining forces with a company which shares our vision for the brand's future growth and whose core values align with our deep commitment to science, innovation and above all, results without compromise. I look forward to the next stage in Medik8's journey, as we work together to bring our innovative products to a wider audience.' Founded in the UK, Medik8 has built a loyal customer base with its vitamin A-focused anti-ageing creams and serums. The brand is seen as a natural fit for L'Oreal's luxury division, which includes skincare and fragrance names such as Lancome, Aesop, and Miu Miu. Last year, sales in L'Oreal's luxe segment grew by just 2.7%, its weakest performance across divisions, as inflation pushed consumers toward more affordable alternatives. However, the unit scrored better than rival LVMH's beauty arm. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays . AI Masterclass for Students.
