Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vijay Chandok, Managing
Director and CEO of ICICI Securities said: As we look back on the past quarter,
we are satisfied to see the outcome of our articulated strategy of being a neo financial
services company offering a suite of products and services across investments, insurance
and loans taking shape.
Given the structural shifts taking place in India like formalization and equitization
of savings, entry of 10-15 crore youth in the job market annually and projected
healthy GDP growth over next several years leading to overall rise in affluence
level, we believe we have a long runway for growth.
We are focused in building a long-term sustainable business and towards this we
continue to invest aggressively in building blocks for the future as we cement our
position as a complete financial lifecycle partner. Going forward, we expect some
of our newer non-equity initiatives like loans, insurance, and wealth management
attain significant scale.
