Zee Entertainment Q1 results: Net profit rises 21.7% to ₹143.7 crore
Zee Entertainment Enterprises (ZEEL) reported a consolidated net profit increase of 21.7 per cent to Rs 143.7 crore in the April-June quarter, compared to the same quarter last year. This growth was primarily due to the absence of restructuring costs following the failure of the Zee-Sony merger. In Q1FY25, ZEEL had incurred restructuring costs of Rs 28.6 crore after the Zee-Sony merger did not go through. The net profit in Q1FY26 also includes gains from the company's portfolio rationalisation initiative and the treatment of Margo Networks as a discontinued operation. Margo Networks had incurred a loss of Rs 7.6 crore in Q1FY25. On a sequential basis, the company's net profit declined by 23.7 per cent in the April-June quarter. The Mumbai-based broadcaster's revenue from operations decreased by 14.3 per cent to Rs 1,824.8 crore in Q1FY26, on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. ZEEL's other income rose by 31.6 per cent to Rs 25 crore for the quarter ended June 30, compared with the same quarter last year. The company's advertising revenue fell by 17 per cent to Rs 758.5 crore YoY in the April-June quarter. This decline was attributed to an extended sports calendar and a slowdown in FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) spending, as per its investor presentation. 'The increase in digital subscription revenue was offset by a decline in linear subscription revenue due to a fall in PayTV subscribers. Other sales and services (down 64 per cent to Rs 84.6 crore YoY) declined due to lower theatrical and syndication revenue,' the company stated in its presentation. Its profit before interest, depreciation, and tax (PBIDT) decreased by 8.8 per cent to Rs 264 crore for the quarter ended June 30, compared with the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, the total revenue of ZEE5, the company's streaming platform, increased by 30 per cent to Rs 290 crore in the April-June quarter, on a YoY basis. ZEE5 also saw a Rs 111.9 crore reduction in its EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) in Q1FY26, compared with the same period last year. During this quarter, the platform released 17 shows and movies, including five original productions. 'Accelerating growth, profitability, and cash generation continue to remain our priority, and this will further be driven by the new initiatives we are working on," said Mukund Galgali, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of ZEEL, in the company's investor call. He added, 'Within the music business, our profitability continues to remain fairly healthy, and we are further diversifying our catalogue into other language markets.' 'Over the last couple of quarters, the team has put in significant efforts to enhance our content offerings in every market," said Punit Goenka, CEO of ZEEL, during the investor call. "I am pleased to share that we are beginning to witness positive momentum in this direction, with our linear viewership share touching 16.8 per cent in Q1, further fortifying our position as a strong player in the industry. In fact, during the month of June itself, we clocked a viewership share of 17.8 per cent, which is nearly a two-year high.'

Biohacker Bryan Johnson envisions a post-biological future, says 'We all will be immortal, to some degree'
Agencies Bryan Johnson believes that the fusion of biology and computation could redefine human existence, potentially allowing consciousness to exist beyond bodily death. In a striking interview with WIRED, American tech entrepreneur and biohacker Bryan Johnson made a provocative claim: he doesn't believe he will die—not in the way we traditionally understand death. 'False,' he said, when asked if he, Bryan Johnson, would die someday. Not out of arrogance, he insists, but out of a calculated belief in the fusion of biology and computation that could redefine human existence. The 46-year-old multimillionaire, best known for founding Braintree (which acquired Venmo before both were sold to PayPal), is now making headlines for a very different kind of venture—his obsessive, expensive, and highly public pursuit of biological immortality. 'We all will be immortal to some degree,' Johnson claims, 'as we move into a blend of biological and computational existence.' 'We're not stuck in biological software,' Johnson explained. 'We also have the ability to begin moving ourselves to computational systems. So currently, in a very crude form, I have a Bryan AI that has digested everything I've ever said.' According to Johnson, this AI twin is a digital backup of his identity—part of a larger bet that the fusion of human consciousness with machines could offer a form of indefinite continuity, if not immortality. The core of Johnson's philosophy hinges on a paradigm shift. As artificial intelligence progresses and the boundary between biology and computation blurs, he predicts that society's highest aspiration won't be wealth, family, or even legacy—but simply existing. 'The most prized asset is going to be existence,' Johnson said. 'Immortality, for example, will be devalued relative to existing. And that's my fundamental bet on the future.' Johnson's 'Project Blueprint,' launched in 2021, is his personal roadmap for radical life extension. The regimen includes everything from strict caloric intake and early bedtimes to intense biometric monitoring and even experimental plasma transfusions—one of which controversially involved his teenage son. The idea? To reverse his biological age, or at least slow its progression. While experts have largely dismissed plasma transfusions for anti-aging as unproven and potentially unsafe (the U.S. FDA warns against such procedures), Johnson remains undeterred. For him, the real breakthrough isn't in the blood—it's in the brain. As founder of Kernel, Johnson has poured resources into developing high-tech helmets capable of recording brain activity with unprecedented precision. He imagines a near future where minds can be interfaced, analyzed, and eventually liberated from their biological cages. In his worldview, biology is just version one of the human experience. Version two? A computational self—one that may exist beyond bodily death, backed up in digital everyone shares Johnson's optimism. Longevity scientist Andrew Steele argues that genetics still dominate life expectancy, rendering most lifestyle-based interventions marginal in effect. McGill University's Moshe Szyf calls Johnson's goals 'not grounded in current science.'
