Info Edge (India) Limited, in a meeting of its Committee of Executive Directors held on February 17, 2026, has approved an investment of approximately Rs. 30 Crores in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Startup Investments (Holding) Limited (SIHL). This strategic capital infusion is intended to bolster SIHL’s capacity to explore and capitalize on future investment opportunities, particularly within tech companies and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). The investment is structured through the acquisition of 1,401,214 Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (CCDs) at an issue price of Rs. 214.10 each.

As per the latest market updates from February 2026, this investment follows the company’s mixed Q3 FY26 financial performance, where it navigated a robust recruitment market despite broader economic uncertainties. The company also declared a second interim dividend of Rs. 2.40 per share for the financial year 2025-26, with a record date of February 20, 2026. Additionally, Info Edge recently published its Naukri JobSpeak Index for January 2026, which provides critical insights into the evolving hiring landscape across various Indian industries.

Info Edge is one of India’s premier consumer internet companies, operating a portfolio of leading digital platforms including Naukri.com (recruitment), 99acres.com (real estate), Jeevansathi.com (matrimony), and Shiksha.com (education). Beyond its core operations, the company is a prolific venture investor in the Indian startup ecosystem, having early-stage stakes in major listed entities like Zomato (Eternal Ltd) and PolicyBazaar. In 2025, Info Edge was recognized as one of India’s most successful venture investors, with its long-term bets yielding multi-bagger returns that significantly enhance its overall valuation.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (Q3 FY26), Info Edge reported a 13.43% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated revenue from operations, reaching Rs. 819.41 Crores compared to Rs. 722.39 Crores in Q3 FY25. On a sequential basis, revenue grew by 1.73% from Rs. 805.45 Crores in Q2 FY26. Consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q3 FY26 stood at Rs. 271.71 Crores, a 12.00% increase over the Rs. 242.59 Crores reported in the same period last year. However, PAT saw a sequential decline of 14.12% from Rs. 316.40 Crores in the previous quarter, largely due to a reduction in non-operating “other income”. The company remains a favorite among institutional investors, with its founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani often credited for the firm’s disciplined investment approach.
