How did Anil Ambani's telecom company go bankrupt, once used to challenge Airtel, Idea, launched Rs 500 phone to....
Anil Ambani (File) Several companies of Anil Ambani were raided by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), leading to several stories about Anil Ambani's legacy. Anil Ambani's Reliance Infocomm, later rebranded as Reliance Communications (RCom)—once stood as the telecom flagship of the Reliance empire. In the beginning, Reliance Communications (RCom) embodied disruptive growth with slashing call rates, bundled handsets, and rapid expansion into India's underserved markets. However, within a decade, Anil Ambani's spiraled from market leader to bankruptcy. How did Reliance Infocomm grew so big? Launched in the early 2000s, Reliance Infocomm rapidly grew under Anil Ambani's leadership after the 2005 split of Reliance Industries. The company pioneered CDMA services in India with the 'Monsoon Hungama' campaign, making mobile telephony accessible to lower-income segments. Riding high on investor enthusiasm, RCom's IPO in 2006 was oversubscribed dozens of times, allowing it to build one of the country's largest telecom networks. Notably, Reliance Infocomm revolutionized the telecom market by offering CDMA mobile phones for Rs 501 under the 'Monsoon Hungama' plan in 2003, giving a tough competition to Idea and Bharti Airtel. How did Reliance Communications' downfall come? Reliance Communications' downfall was driven by poor strategic choices, including sticking too long with outdated CDMA technology and entering the GSM space late. The launch of Reliance Jio by Mukesh Ambani worsened its decline. Mounting debt, failed deals, and rising losses led RCom to file for bankruptcy in 2019, marking the collapse of what was once a telecom giant. Anil Ambani's Reliance Group announces Rs 18000 crore investment plan Anil Ambani's Reliance Group will focus on defence, power and clean energy sectors to chart the next phase of growth that will train resources on innovation and value creation, it said on Sunday. Just as financial crime-fighting agency, Enforcement Directorate concluded searches at locations linked to the group as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering and siphoning of public funds, over 100 top leaders from its two listed firms — Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power — convened in Mumbai on Sunday to reaffirm their commitment to its ambitious growth roadmap.

Lenskart gets shareholder approval for $250 million IPO fundraise
Indian eyewear retailer Lenskart secured shareholder approval to raise $250 million through a fresh share issue, setting the stage for a public offering that could reach $1 billion, including existing investor sales, according to sources. It is aiming for an IPO valuation of about $10 billion. 'The company got approval for the $250 million IPO fundraise. The offer for sale (OFS) would be decided later,' said a person familiar with the matter. The company plans to file its prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) soon, joining a wave of technology startups—including trading platform Groww, e-commerce firm Meesho, and education company PhysicsWallah—that are preparing to go public in 2025. Lenskart's move comes as the $5 billion company—recently marked up to $6.1 billion by Fidelity—seeks to capitalize on robust growth in India's retail market. The Gurugram-based firm reported 43 per cent revenue growth to Rs 5,427.7 crore in FY24 from Rs 3,788 crore in FY23, while narrowing its losses by 84 per cent to Rs 10 crore in FY24 from Rs 63 crore in FY23. The IPO approval includes a pre-listing fundraising round of $51 million and a new employee stock plan covering 7.2 million shares. Lenskart operates more than 2,500 stores globally and is investing $200 million in a manufacturing facility in southern India. Lenskart continues to deepen its penetration in India while rapidly scaling its international presence, including in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. With a unique click-and-mortar business model, it is disrupting the eyewear industry by offering an omni-channel customer experience across online platforms, mobile applications, and stores. Globally and in India, Gurugram-based Lenskart competes with players such as Titan Eyeplus, Specsmakers, Vision Express, Warby Parker, and Italian eyewear conglomerate Luxottica Group.

Sribhumi set for 24x7 clean tap water with Rs 81.18cr project boost
Silchar: In a major boost to Barak Valley's infrastructure, Assam's public health engineering minister Jayanta Mallabaruah on Sunday laid the foundation stone for a Rs 81.18 crore drinking water supply project in Sribhumi town under the Jal Jeevan Mission (Urban). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The initiative aims to deliver 24/7 tap water to over 15,000 households across 27 municipal wards, reaching nearly 75,000 residents. The ceremony at the Langai water plant was marked by traditional bhoomi pujan rituals and attended by ministers Kaushik Rai and Krishnendu Paul, BJP district president Sanjeev Banik, and senior PHE officials. Addressing a gathering at the Sribhumi District Library auditorium, Mallabaruah reiterated the state govt's commitment to Barak Valley's development. He said CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has earmarked Rs 350-400 crore for drinking water projects across the region. "Hailakandi alone has received over Rs 100 crore. Projects for Lala and Badarpur are in the pipeline, and construction will begin soon," the minister said, adding that the AMRUT scheme in Silchar is also progressing. He emphasised that Sribhumi's current water treatment infrastructure — commissioned in 1967 for a population of merely 12,000 — is grossly outdated. "This project is designed to meet the needs of today's Sribhumi," he said. The system will include a 129-km distribution network and five elevated service reservoirs (ESRs), strategically placed to ensure efficient water flow across town. While the project's completion target is December 2028, Mallabaruah urged officials to expedite delivery. "Clean water means fewer hospital visits and a healthier, stronger community," he said.
