Management Commentary
Mr. Ranvir Singh, Founder & CEO, Kissht, said:
“FY26 marks a defining milestone in Kissht's journey as we present our first quarterly and annual results as a listed company. The year reflected the strength of our governance and risk management framework as the sector continued to navigate the after-effects of overleverage concerns witnessed during FY25. Our continued focus on model-based underwriting, disciplined portfolio management, and calibrated growth has enabled us to navigate the environment with resilience and consistency. With strong capitalisation post the IPO and a measurable improvement in portfolio quality, we are well placed to scale our franchise responsibly in FY27 and beyond.”
