Management Guidance
Management expects non-MF revenue to continue growing at over 20% annually. They anticipate the new re-architecture platform and AI-driven automation will lead to revenue growth on a falling headcount by FY2027. Full-year benefit from productivity improvements is expected to translate into fewer complaints and lower risk incidents.
Sentiment Shift
Improving
The transition from a pure Mutual Fund RTA to a diversified financial tech provider is accelerating, with non-MF segments and new platform efficiencies showing tangible margin benefits.
Outlook
The company is sanguine about the prospects of new product categories like SIFs and is positioning itself for compliance with the DPDP bill to capture new market opportunities in data fiduciaries. Long-term sustainable margins are targeted at 46%+, supported by tech-led cost optimization.
From the Annual Report (Key Quotes)
“We expect that in FY '27, we will see all the revenue growth on falling headcount, which means we are getting the productivity up through automation.”

“We have reached a stage where we are comfortable with the price-value equation; there is not much room to revisit that.”
