Management Perspective​

Sreekanth Nadella, Managing Director and CEO of KFin Technologies Limited, commented on the results, stating that they reflect an accelerated execution of the growth strategy aimed at expanding the addressable market while reducing risk through business diversification. He noted strong revenue growth led by sustained momentum in international business, both organic and through Ascent Fund Services, supported by new mandates from clients with AUM exceeding US$100 million.
