South African Manufacturing Venture Cupidshare’s shares edged up 1% on August 31 after the board granted in‑principle approval for a new manufacturing venture in South Africa. The plan involves setting up a dedicated entity and facility to design, produce, test, package, market and supply male condoms and related products. Under the proposed structure, Cupid will hold up to 49% of the equity, while the South African partner and local shareholders will own at least 51%.

The company will contribute its technical and manufacturing know‑how, whereas capital expenditure is expected to be financed by the South African partner. This collaboration aims to tap the growing demand for contraceptive products in the region and expand Cupidshare’s international footprint.

Financial Performance – June Quarter In the June quarter, Cupidshare reported a sharp rise in earnings, with consolidated net profit surging to Rs 44.1 cr from Rs 15 cr in the corresponding period last year. Revenue from operations jumped to Rs 154.7 cr, up from Rs 59.8 cr, driven by strong demand in its international B2B healthcare segment. The company highlighted robust order visibility across institutional procurement programmes, government tenders and private export markets, underpinning a healthy revenue pipeline.
