Management Comments

Mr. Sanjay Agarwal

It takes at least a decade to build the foundation of a strong bank and entering our tenth year is a deeply meaningful milestone for all of us at AU. Building a Forever Bank demands consistency in strategy, in execution and in values. FY2026 reflects exactly that. We have strengthened our franchise, embedded technology into our core, and invested in every dimension that matters like governance, leadership, distribution and scale. This month, we launched our first Agentic AI platform, and our first AI-native Loan Origination System on that platform, signalling our intent to fundamentally reimagine banking. I am genuinely excited about what lies ahead and look forward to sharing more in the quarters to come. The strength of our foundation and the quality of our franchise give me confidence that as we approach our Universal Banking milestone, we do so with clarity of purpose and conviction in our trajectory. We are deeply grateful to the Government of India, RBI and our other regulators, our customers, our shareholders, our team and every stakeholder who makes this journey possible.
