The Emerging Market (EM) channel, with over 300 branches, contributed a notable 21% to the consolidated AUM (INR 3,199 crore).

While specific forward-looking financial guidance was not explicitly detailed, UGRO Capital has reiterated its ambitious objective to capture 1% market share in small business financing within the next three years. Maintaining asset quality amidst aggressive growth and successful integration of acquired entities will be key. The company's data-tech approach and expanding distribution network are identified as core growth drivers. Investors will be watching the sustained AUM growth and the impact of the Profectus acquisition on profitability and market penetration in the coming quarters.
