Management Commentary
Mr. Vijay Chandok, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had an eventful quarter which tested the resiliency of our business model. During these testing times, we ensured safety of our employees and continuity for our customers. Our predominantly digital business model has held us in good stead with 97% of equity and 94% of MF transactions conducted online by the clients themselves. Our platform has proved its mettle by successfully serving unprecedented number of concurrent users with very high trading volumes. Our proactive and real time risk management framework ensured we dealt with market volatility satisfactorily.
“During the quarter, we saw continuing retail participation as a steep correction in such a short period of time provided many with an opportunity to enter the market at multi-year low prices. In the current environment, investors are looking at sound advice, trusted partner, and a reliable platform, and we feel I-Sec scores high on all these.
"As a virtual financial supermarket, our continuing endeavor is to meet all the three need sets of our customers - wealth management and investments, protection of life & assets, and their borrowing needs. We remain focused towards digitizing more and more of our offerings, many of which we will launch alongwith our fintech partners. This is an extremely exciting journey with enormous possibilities going forward.
