Revolution Beauty has secured an agreement with shareholder Debenhams Group to produce beauty and fragrance lines, having “completely reset” relations years following a highly publicised boardroom dispute.

The fresh licensing arrangement enables Revolution to create products across Debenhams’ portfolio of brands – complementing existing partnerships with retailers such as Boots and Superdrug.

Initial collections are anticipated to arrive before Christmas and will feature a selection of fragrance and gift items for brands PrettyLittleThing, Karen Millen and BoohooMan.

Additional launches are scheduled across Debenhams-owned labels and via its own retail platforms.

Tom Allsworth, chief executive of Revolution Beauty, said: “Since returning to the business last year, our relationship with Debenhams Group has been completely reset and it is gratifying to see that reflected in a formal partnership between the two businesses.

“By combining the strength of Debenhams Group’s brands with Revolution’s expertise, we believe these licences can become a significant growth opportunity for both businesses.”

He noted that preliminary feedback on the product concepts tested had been “exceptionally positive”.

Under the arrangement, Revolution will handle development, manufacturing and distribution of its products, while paying Manchester-based Debenhams a royalty calculated on sales generated.

Debenhams Group, which underwent a rebrand from Boohoo Group last year, holds over a quarter of the shares in Revolution Beauty. The two firms became embroiled in a public dispute in 2023 over demands to replace Revolution’s leadership team.

Tensions came to a head when Revolution defied a shareholder vote and reinstated its executives, before subsequently issuing share awards without seeking investor approval.

However, the company declared the matter resolved following the departure of former chief executive Bob Holt and chairman Derek Zissman.

Last year, the beauty business welcomed back co-founders Adam Minto and Mr Allsworth — who had previously stepped down amid a series of accounting issues — to spearhead a significant turnaround programme.

Revolution acknowledged that its financial performance under previous management had fallen short of expectations, with revenues declining sharply and losses deepening, though it expressed confidence in its ability to return to growth.

Dan Finley, chief executive of Debenhams Group, said: “Beauty is one of the most compelling category opportunities available to us and Revolution Beauty has the capability and relationships to bring tailored collections to market across the full portfolio.

“We look forward to seeing the first launches come to life.”

FIIs cut stakes in 16 largecap stocks over two quarters; shares fall up to 40% - Fund Outflow

Investors closely monitor FII activity, as foreign institutional investors typically enter markets only after extensive research. While it is important to observe where FIIs are increasing their exposure, their selling trends can be equally insightful. Among the BSE large-cap pack, FIIs have steadily reduced their stakes in about 106 large-cap companies over the past two quarters, December 2025 (October to December) and March 2026 (January to March).
Looking at stock performance over the last six months, the majority of these companies delivered negative returns. Notably, around 13 large-cap stocks fell between 25% and 40% during this period. On the other hand, three stocks still managed to rally over 40% despite continuous FII selling. (Data source: ACE Equity)

One of Swindon’s oldest law firms is relocating from its town centre offices, it has announced. Bevirs Law, which has had a presence in the town since around 1910, has moved from Regent Circus to Newbridge Square.

The firm says the move will mean it has the capacity to expand its team and accommodate future growth.

“The move provides the firm with a more suitable, modern environment designed around a layout aimed at fostering closer team collaboration and improved communication across the firm’s legal departments,” the company said.

Newbridge Square is based by the new bus boulevard interchange and the train station.

“Moving from Regent Circus to Newbridge Square marks an exciting new chapter,” said Bevirs Law partner Claire Webb, who led the relocation project.

“The new layout is already making a noticeable difference to how our team interact and collaborate on a daily basis. Just as importantly, this new space gives us the room to expand.”

Bevirs Law was founded almost 150 years ago and is headquartered in Royal Wootton Bassett, with an office in Calne as well as Swindon.

There are 14 team staff based in the Swindon office across three departments: family care, private client and litigation. The firm is currently recruiting for its private client team, conveyancing team and commercial property team.

“Being situated right next to the new bus boulevard interchange and closer to the train station also means we are now in a highly accessible, central location that makes travelling to us much easier for our clients and staff alike,” added Ms Webb.

Radhika Gupta reveals India’s next 3 wealth creation themes & why SIFs are the investment product of the decade

Radhika Gupta reveals India's next 3 wealth creation themes & why SIFs are the investment product of the decade
Radhika Gupta, MD and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, used her platform at the ET Alpha Summit to lay out a bold, long-term case for India, and to make a powerful argument for a new category of investment product that most retail investors are still waking up to. Talking to Kshitij Anand at the sidelines of the summit, Gupta talked about how financialisation of savings, defence and energy, and premium consumption are the structural trends that will define Indian wealth creation over the next 10 years.

Why Radhika Gupta is India’s biggest SIF bull

Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) are designed to sit between mutual funds and portfolio management services, and Gupta, whose firm is currently the largest SIF manager in India, believes they solve a problem that no other product currently addresses well.
Her framework is simple. Every financial product succeeds only if it meets a genuine need. SIFs, she argues, deliver on three fronts: lower dependence on market beta, higher potential for alpha, and superior tax efficiency, a structure deliberately enabled by SEBI.

The real-world proof is in Edelweiss’s own launch. Their first SIF under the Altiva brand, designed to generate 9–10% pre-tax returns with capital gains efficiency over an 18 to 24-month horizon, is on track to become the fastest fund in the firm’s history to hit ₹5,000 crore in AUM.

“If you meet a need correctly, there is demand for it,” Gupta said. She added that she personally invested in the SIF for her own portfolio when she needed a two-year, low-equity-risk allocation, the strongest possible endorsement from a fund house CEO.

India’s economic case remains intact

On the broader economy, Gupta is measured but constructive. India is a 6–8% real growth economy, translating to 10–12% nominal growth, still among the fastest-growing major economies globally, even accounting for geopolitical headwinds, oil price volatility, and tariff-related uncertainty.
Her long-term bull case rests on four pillars: favourable demographics, continued economic reforms, deepening financialisation of household savings, and Indian entrepreneurship. She cited research showing that replacing American CEOs of S&P 500 companies with Indian CEOs would statistically generate alpha, a proxy for the quality of Indian management talent globally.

The 3 sectors to watch over the next decade

Gupta named three structural themes she believes will drive wealth creation in India through the 2030s.

Financialisation of savings: India’s asset management, wealth management, and capital markets ecosystem is still in its early stages. Mutual fund penetration remains low relative to GDP, and the runway for growth is significant.

Defence and energy: India’s defence indigenisation push and rising power consumption are long-duration structural trends with decades of investment ahead.

Premium and discretionary consumption: India has just 0.2 hotel rooms per thousand people against 15 in the US. Hospital beds stand at 0.4–0.5 per thousand, compared to 3–5 in developed markets. The gap between India’s aspiration and its infrastructure in tourism, healthcare, and experiential spending is enormous, and closing it will generate substantial wealth for investors positioned early.

A ₹600 crore revenue event from a single Coldplay concert in Ahmedabad, she noted, is a signal of where young India is heading.
