Italy's Ferragamo posts $66.1 mn H1 loss, revenues drop 9.4%
Italian luxury group Salvatore Ferragamo has reported a revenue of €474 million (~$549.84 million) in the first half (H1) of 2025 ended June 30, witnessing a decrease of 9.4 per cent year-over-year (YoY), or 7.1 per cent at constant exchange rates, as macroeconomic uncertainty and weak consumer sentiment weighed on performance, especially in Asia Pacific. The company's net loss in H1 was €57 million (~$66.12 million), a sharp reversal from a €6 million profit in H1 2024. The loss includes a €41 million impairment charge linked primarily to assets in China and Korea. Excluding this, the adjusted net loss was €16 million, Salvatore Ferragamo said in a press release. The wholesale segment was the main drag, with H1 revenues dropping 17.9 per cent to €105 million, while direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales declined 6.5 per cent to €357 million. Salvatore Ferragamo has reported revenue of €474 million (~$549.84 million) in H1 2025, down 9.4 per cent YoY, with a net loss of €57 million (~$66.12 million) due to weak Asia Pacific demand. Wholesale sales dropped 17.9 per cent, DTC fell 6.5 per cent, and EBITDA declined 38.1 per cent. Q2 revenue plunged 14.6 per cent, though Latin America showed growth. Strategic repositioning efforts are underway. The gross profit fell 15 per cent to €321 million, with margin narrowing to 67.7 per cent from 72.1 per cent. The EBITDA of the company dropped 38.1 per cent to €73 million, while adjusted EBIT turned negative at €3 million versus a €28 million gain in H1 2024. In terms of regional performance, Asia Pacific sales plummeted 16.3 per cent at constant exchange rates, while Europe and Japan also saw declines. Latin America was the only bright spot, up 11.6 per cent on a constant currency basis. Footwear sales, Ferragamo's largest segment, dropped 13.3 per cent. Category-wise, footwear remained the leading category with €201.8 million in sales, accounting for 43.6 per cent of total net sales. This marked a 13.3 per cent YoY decline at constant exchange rates. Leather goods followed closely at €199.1 million (43.1 per cent of net sales), down just 0.2 per cent YoY at constant exchange rates. Meanwhile, apparel sector generated €27.2 million (5.9 per cent of sales), reflecting an 8.6 per cent YoY drop at constant exchange rates. Silk and other products brought in €34.3 million (7.4 per cent of net sales), down 6.1 per cent at constant exchange rates. In the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, its revenues totalled €253 million (~$293.48 million), down 14.6 per cent YoY at current exchange rates and 11.8 per cent at constant rates, primarily impacted by a deteriorating wholesale channel which fell 34.3 per cent. DTC revenues in Q2 declined 5.4 per cent at constant exchange rates. The company cited a worsening consumer environment in Asia Pacific and Japan—exacerbated by reduced tourist spending and a high base in Q2 2024—as key factors. Wholesale weakness cut across regions, with Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) seeing a 19.5 per cent decline in net sales and Japan posting a 12.6 per cent drop. Only Latin America showed resilience, with Q2 net sales growing 11.2 per cent at constant exchange rates, driven by strong DTC momentum. Ferragamo reaffirmed its focus on strategic repositioning, including a refreshed product strategy, a sharper communication narrative, and greater efficiency in marketing spend. Online sales from its official website saw a double-digit growth in H1, and the brand is advancing its store renovation plans and inventory control to align with evolving market conditions, added the release.

Slow food sets foot in Thiruvananthapuram with 1940 India by Azad
The name Azad has held great significance on the culinary map of Thiruvananthapuram for over eight decades. From a makeshift outlet located at Vallakkadavu named Azadinte Kada (Azad's shop) to a diverse gastronomic portfolio consisting of restaurants, fine dining eateries, bakeries and kiosks, Azad has constantly evolved while staying true to its Travancore roots. The latest addition to this list is a slow food restaurant with a Quick Service Restaurant model named 1940 India, located at Vazhuthacaud. What is slow food? The slow food movement, combating international fast-food chains and homogenisation of food, began in the '80s in Italy. The moniker is attributed to its anti-fast-food ideology and has no relation to cooking time. The campaign, founded by Italian activist Carlo Petrini against the opening of a McDonald's outlet in Rome, is characterised by a core philosophy, 'Good, clean and fair' food, covering quality of ingredients, sustainable production methods and a fair price for producers. There is also an emphasis on supporting local businesses and seasonality. 'During the opening of an international fast-food franchise outlet nearby, we discussed how almost everything, apart from a few of their employees, is imported. This income benefits only the foreign company,' says Ozman Azad, a third generation member of the family. 'We have specific local vendors for each of our shops, which expand depending on seasons. Everyone who is part of that local network benefits from this. We need to replicate this framework everywhere with the ethnic foods of that location,' says Ozman. He runs the business with his brothers, Wazim Azad and Mahin Azad. Their father, Abdul Nazar Azad, son of MP Azad, who founded their first restaurant in 1940, is the chairman of Azad Corporate. Since inception, Azad's restaurant at Overbridge known for the iconic Azad Pakka Travancore Biriyani, their fine dining restaurant Star, and their bakery and confectionary store Bread Factory, are household names in the State capital. 'We have been doing the slow food concept for 85 years. And it has always been hyper local-centric in terms of sourcing the ingredients and the staff. But 1940 India is the only place where there is an additional emphasis to serve it fast,' says Ozman. A key difference between fast food and slow food outlets is the presence of a chef. 'They play a significant role in the kitchen. Fast food is about assembling, while slow food involves preparing the components from scratch and staying away from frozen products,' says Ozman. He adds that the smooth operation of the outlet depends on 'the hub', located at Eanchakkal, established six months before the restaurant's opening. This facility, with 25 staff, is responsible for research, development, and operations. The restaurant has a total workforce of 23 people. The menu The menu of 1940 India caters to the youth, who consume fast food the most. 'If slow food aims to combat fast food, then it should target the younger generation. We have sandwiches, rolls, mac 'n' cheese, which might draw in the younger crowd. But at the same time we serve idiyappam, chicken curry, mutton curry and so on,' says Ozman. 'We also discovered that the younger generation prefers smaller individual portions over ordering multiple dishes across the table. They have only short breaks during their work hours, so we have to serve fresh food quickly too,' he adds. The menu is divided into five sub-groups. The I Am Young And Happy menu features sandwiches, rolls, loaded fries and mac 'n' cheese. My Travancore, My Love has kothu porotta, traditional crispy chicken, chicken peralan, mutton curry roast, baby Kerala porotta, noolappam and dum biriyani. Indian curries, tikkas, kebabs, bread, and rice dishes are featured in the I Am India section. I Love Asia menu has Cantonese chicken and nutty cauliflower, along with fried rice and Hakka noodles. Custard brownies, gulab jamun and soft serve comprise the dessert menu. Rajasthani thandai, a fragrant sweet drink with a spicy kick, and Punjabi lassi are also available. My Travancore, My Love menu would differ according to the location, featuring dishes indigenous to that area, says Ozman. 'Our next step here would be to create personalised menu classifications, looking at different generations and dividing their time slots into six, serving what they would like to eat at each of these slots,' Ozman says. The peak hours are after 8pm and during the hours following the usual lunch breaks. The slow food chain is expanding to Bengaluru next year and will establish a hub in the lead-up to that. 'We are targeting areas where you can find fast-food chains; therefore, we are not limited to just metropolitan areas.'

The India-Italy partnership as champions for the Global South and the Indo-Mediterranean
Agencies India-Italy partnership On the 1st of March 2006, addressing the US Congress, the then Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi warned that over the next 25 years, two billion more people would mostly be born in countries excluded from prosperity, creating a world split between six billion living in poverty and fewer than two billion in wealth. He said this imbalance would drive massive migration and risk fueling hatred and fundamentalism. The solution, he argued, was to lift poor nations out of misery by spreading democracy, good governance, human rights, and free-market economies, which he described as both a moral duty and a vital a world marked by volatility where conflicts have erupted across the Indo-Mediterranean, tensions in the Indo-Pacific escalate amid China's aggressive posture, and the persistent threat of Islamic extremism continues to challenge global stability, Berlusconi's speech now resonates with prophetic clarity. Nearly two decades after that historic address, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has at last crafted a strategic response aimed at addressing the very challenges Berlusconi warned of, warnings that until now successive Italian Prime Ministers and much of the global leadership had largely overlooked. Prime Minister Meloni's Piano Mattei is Italy's strategic framework for cooperation with Africa, focusing on five pillars: energy, water, agriculture, health, and education. Launched in early 2024 and rooted in 'partnership among equals,' it aims to tackle migration drivers and foster investment through public–private tools. She has successfully aligned the plan with the EU's Global Gateway, co-hosting a Rome summit with President Ursula von der Leyen in June 2025 where 11 agreements were signed. The initiative has positioned Italy as a key EU player in shaping Africa policy and development engagement, and Italy has taken the leadership of the EU's much lagging Africa outreach. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India has doubled down on a Global South leadership agenda by shepherding the African Union's entry into the G20 at the New Delhi Leaders' Summit in September 2023, which elevated African representation in the forum's core deliberations. It has convened the Voice of Global South Summits (January 2023 and August 2024) to channel developing country priorities into global diplomacy. Looking ahead, New Delhi is set to host the Quad Leaders' Summit in 2025, positioning Indo Pacific security dialogues alongside development concerns of the Global South. India is also a central player in an expanded BRICS, with the 2025 leaders' meeting in Rio de Janeiro offering another platform where it engaged in dialogues on finance, development and South-South partnerships. Without directly mentioning it, both Italy and India seek to counter China's debt heavy Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its rising military influence in the global south, especially Africa, a young continent, rich in natural resources and full of future potential. While PM Meloni seeks to harness the might of the European Union, PM Modi uses India's centuries of goodwill, colonial era diaspora and soft power. Despite using different strategies both agree on the importance of Africa and the global south to the future of humanity. India and Italy are both firm champions of a more equal, value driven world, where trade wars, proxy wars, natural calamities and pandemics are especially taxing to the poor and the vulnerable. Italy's vision of an enlarged Mediterranean extending to the Horn of Africa aligns naturally with India's MAHASAGAR initiative (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions), launched in March 2025 which starts at the Gulf of Aden. Building on its predecessor SAGAR (2015), which focused largely on the Indian Ocean Region, MAHASAGAR broadens India's engagement with the wider Global South, including East Africa, by emphasizing capacity building, sustainable blue-economy growth, trade, connectivity, and security cooperation. It has cemented India's status as the Indian Ocean's primary maritime security provider and a 'first responder' in crises. MAHASAGAR is designed to counter threats such as piracy, illegal fishing, and maritime terrorism while reinforcing India's commitment to a free and rules-based maritime order, reflecting its ambitions as a Global South leader in ocean the shared geography of the Indo-Mediterranean, Italy and India have much to gain by leveraging the synergies between their ambitious initiatives. The challenges they face are common, and both countries are signatories to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a major trade route linking the Indo-Pacific with Europe and the United States through the Middle East. While IMEC, which brings together the US, EU, India, Italy, Germany, France, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and potentially Greece and Cyprus, will require time to develop its infrastructure, a dedicated Indo-Mediterranean corridor between Italy and India could serve as a vital interim upcoming entry into force of the India - European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) on 1st October 2025 underscores this need. Switzerland, the largest EFTA economy and demographically the largest member, is landlocked and heavily dependent on Italian ports for access to India. Experts and entrepreneurs point out the advantage of establishing a dedicatedItaly-India-Switzerland maritime trade corridor which would boost TEPA's implementation while laying the groundwork for IMEC's eventual operation. Just as Trieste could serve as India's gateway to Europe's industrial heartlands and Central and Eastern Europe as Europe's IMEC terminal, other Italian ports could become India's entry points into Switzerland and Lombardy, Italy's economic powerhouse. Above all, Italy's southern ports and the infrastructure projects planned under the Mattei Plan complement India's Africa-focused Mahasagar strategy. The strong personal rapport between the two prime ministers and their alignment on strategic objectives further strengthen this partnership. With the leadership of Prime Ministers Meloni and Modi, two cultural superpowers could very well be lighthouses to ships in today's storms and bring them to the shore. Senator Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata is the President of the Italy-India Parliamentary friendship group, and Vas Shenoy is the Chief Representative for Italy of the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
