The FY23 performance reflects the maturity of the organisation’s business model. Not only have we grown at a quick pace, but we have also maintained excellent book quality. Profitability and return on assets also reflect a strong trajectory; we are confident of further improvement in those metrics.  MSMEs will power the country’s ambition to become the third-largest economy in the next few years, and this augurs well for our business. Our focus is on the fastest-growing sectors, and our cluster-specific credit policies help us to spot business opportunities and risks better.”
