Management Commentary:

Founder and Managing Director, Mr Minesh M Doshi, remarked, “FY25 has been a year of strong growth despite challenges in the auto sector. Our deep rural reach, rising demand in semi-urban regions, and technology-driven operations have helped us maintain a healthy profit margin of 44 per cent. With a capital adequacy of 85.7 per cent, we are well-positioned to scale without immediate capital infusion.”

He added that the company’s branch expansion strategy remains on track, aiming for 100 branches by FY27 and a loan book of Rs 2.75 billion. A declining interest rate environment is also expected to reduce borrowing costs, further supporting profitability.
