AUM reached Rs 804.6 million (mn) as at 31 December 2025 compared with Rs 332.0 million (mn) a year earlier, representing a growth of 141 per cent driven by demand for loans against property among MSMEs, traders and self employed borrowers. Revenue from operations rose to Rs 85.9 million (mn) from Rs 30.1 million (mn), an increase of 185 per cent supported by portfolio growth and improved yields. Net worth strengthened to Rs 619.1 million (mn), up 43 per cent, reflecting healthy internal accruals and prudent capital management.

The company expanded its presence across four key states and now operates from nine strategic locations, including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nanded, Jaipur, Udaipur, Indore, Pithampur and Agra. The customer base exceeded 700 active customers, predominantly from MSME and retail self employed segments, with loan disbursements increasing significantly during the period. Operational execution was supported by calibrated branch expansion and focused credit processes.

The company positioned itself to bridge formal banking and informal lenders, aiming to promote financial inclusion across emerging and semi urban markets.
