Dinesh Thakkar, Chairman & Managing Director, said, “India’s capital market remains on a growth trajectory, reflecting increasing trust among retail investors. The evolving regulatory landscape has fostered greater client confidence, ensuring long-term retention and participation. While a few regulations introduced this quarter caused a temporary industry-wide impact, we are confident that our aggressive client acquisition strategy, coupled with the normalisation of client activity, will drive renewed growth momentum in the coming quarters. We continued to invest in the SuperApp, which is becoming the preferred digital product for clients. This quarter, we launched the beta version of the insurance journey on the SuperApp, further strengthening our client relationships. We also secured regulatory approvals to launch our mutual fund and portfolio management services under Angel One Asset Management Ltd. and Angel One Wealth Ltd., respectively, advancing our transformation into a comprehensive non-banking financial services platform.”
