Computer Age Management Services Limited (CAMS), India’s largest registrar and transfer agent, has announced a major upgrade of its operating infrastructure, technology backbone and talent capabilities to support the next phase of growth in the mutual funds industry. The company is strengthening its platform with advanced AI-driven systems to help the sector scale significantly in the coming years.

CAMS said it is preparing its infrastructure to onboard up to eight new asset management companies annually and support multiple new fund houses expected to go live following recent licence approvals. The firm is also positioning itself to enable clients to launch SIF schemes, a new asset class attracting growing market interest. GIFT City — where CAMS has been present for over four years, serving more than 30 clients — is emerging as a significant new growth hub as domestic mutual funds begin operating schemes there.

As part of its platform re-architecture strategy, CAMS has launched CAMSLens and plans to introduce four additional AI integrations over the next two quarters. These enhancements will substantially elevate scalability and operational efficiency.

CAMS’s strong compliance and operational execution have enabled six mutual fund houses — Angel One, Unifi, Jio BlackRock, Ceybank Sri Lanka, Taurus and Choice — to go live in 2025, an unprecedented achievement. The company processed more than 900 million financial transactions last year and continues to maintain the capacity to handle twice that volume through its advanced data centres.

As of September 2025, CAMS’s assets under management crossed Rs 5.2 trillion, retaining a market share of around 68 per cent. The company’s unique investor count reached 43 million, marking 17 per cent year-on-year growth.

Managing Director Anuj Kumar said CAMS is focused on designing and deploying advanced AI technologies to improve efficiency and operational scale. As more processes shift to cloud platforms and modern APIs, CAMS aims to build the capability to handle more than twice its current volume within two years. Kumar added that the company is creating robust, compliance-ready platforms with real-time dashboards, insights and risk controls to support new investment products.

CAMSLens, the company’s newly launched AI-led compliance engine, is designed to enable near-instant, consistent and accurate implementation of regulatory circulars from SEBI and, eventually, from RBI, IRDAI, PFRDA and IFSCA. Built on CAMS’s internally developed SLM framework, CAMSLens will enhance regulatory readiness by performing real-time contextual analysis, mapping new circulars to existing regulations and generating department-specific actionables — including summaries, FAQs, tests and audit guardrails.
