Quotes
Mr. Ganesh Narayanan
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CreditAccess Grameen Ltd
“The Company delivered a steady and disciplined performance in Q1 FY27. AUM grew 16.4% YoY to INR 30,319 crore, notwithstanding the typical Q1 seasonality and continued write-offs over the past 12 months. Retail Finance now constitutes 20.6% of AUM, up from 18.1% a quarter ago, driven by the graduation of long‑vintage, credit‑tested customers into secured, higher‑ticket products, a trend that is expected to gain further momentum. During the quarter, we also completed a private NCD issuance of INR”
