Management Comments
Mr. Ganesh Narayanan
Q4 FY26 marked a clear inflection in our performance trajectory, with AUM growing 14.0% YoY in line with our annual growth guidance. Our growth was purposeful: anchored in first-time customers with guardrail-compliant borrowers, and the graduation of vintage CA Grameen customers into higher-value retail finance products. The share of retail finance has expanded meaningfully to 18.1% as of March 2026 end, up from 5.9% a year ago, a testament to the depth and loyalty within our 44 lakh customer base. We are building a rural-focused inclusive financing platform that accompanies the customer across their financial lifecycle journey. Starting with group-based microfinance, we are extending into individual business loans, mortgage-backed lending, and two-wheeler financing, all powered by the trust our brand has earned on the ground over the years. With a sharpened product suite, disciplined credit culture, and a clear strategic roadmap, we enter FY27 with confidence. We are guiding the next financial year for AUM growth of 20.0–25.0%, NIM of 12.8–13.2%, cost-to-income of 33.0–35.0%, credit cost of 3.0–4.0%, ROA of 4.0–4.8%, and ROE of 16.0–20.0% reflecting the structural opportunities ahead. We are pleased to announce ‘Project Shakti’, our transformation agenda to build leadership in the inclusive finance space over the coming decade through a customer-centric approach. Inspired by the strength, resilience, and aspiration of the communities we proudly serve, the initiative is designed to build a future-ready and more impactful institution. Our focus will be on deepening market reach, strengthening household-level relationships, increasing customer wallet share, and significantly enhancing our people, technology, and AI capabilities, thereby positioning us among the leading players in financial inclusion space over the coming years.
