The stock has surged over 89% since its listing in January, helped by a sharp jump in Q1 profit to Rs 33.9 crore, up 8.6 times year-on-year, on revenue of Rs 436.9 crore. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources cover the block deal as a routine secondary sale by early investors, with no critical or pro-government framing. NDTV Profit leads with the headline value of Rs 600 crore, while Inc42 gives a precise figure of Rs 587.3 crore and names the buyers. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The real story is that institutional demand remains strong for Amagi despite the lock-in expiry, absorbing nearly 5% of the company's market cap in one day.
