Our focus on scaling digital and citizen services, deepening market reach, and strengthening delivery capabilities has further solidified our position in the assisted digital and financial services landscape.

We continue to expand our digital and financial inclusion ecosystem through cross-selling opportunities and strategic partnerships. During the quarter, we partnered with Aditya Birla Capital, Piramal Finance, and Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediaries, and collaborated with the Grameen Foundation for social impact initiatives. Our asset-light, scalable model—supported by a network of over 147,000 touchpoints and 45,400 Channel Service Partners—remains a cornerstone of our sustained growth and profitability. This model enables faster access to government services, reduces travel for citizens, and creates livelihood opportunities for village-level entrepreneurs, particularly women BC agents. Our role goes beyond transactions—it's transformational.
