Id habits die hard. On Tuesday, IDFC First Bank Ltd completed yet another round of fundraising worth ₹2,623 crore, leading to more equity dilution and value erosion.

It allotted 437 million compulsorily convertible cumulative preference shares (CCPS) to Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's subsidiary. In August, it allotted 812 million CCPS to a Warburg Pincus affiliate.

As CCPS costing ₹60 apiece will be converted, the number of equity shares after the allotments will rise by 17% to 8.6 billion. The impact on book value (BV) will be minuscule as BV per share will rise to ₹53.6 from ₹52.8 as of June 2025.

Inthe lead-up to Taylor Swift's 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, bakery chain Baked by Melissa released a special limited-edition set of cupcakes inspired by the world’s biggest pop star. Itwas one of many brand tie-ins and corporate activations that have accompanied the album’s release, evidence—if any was needed—that Swift is a commercial juggernaut. The cupcakes, with packaging full of Swift-lore Easter eggs, come in two variants—vanilla, with either a “teal” or “orange” icing.
