We have carried forward our strong growth momentum into quarter 1 of FY26 also delivering healthy growth while balancing the needs of our customers, partners, shareholders and employees.
This launch has helped us rebalance our product mix reducing the share of ULIPS from 43% in quarter 1 last year to 36% this quarter.
We would like to remain in this healthy range of margins which is between 24-25%, if we see margins actually running up ahead of that we will be very keen on blowing that back into the business for growth purposes.
We will navigate some of these things to ensure that we hold on to the guidance number and I'll leave it at that rather than kind of give us specific details around percentages here.
We have looked at segments very closely. We've spoken about NRI as a case in point but I think most importantly what stands out is the continuity factor for us... We've always maintained that we'll be able to deliver better than what the industry is doing by almost around 300 to 500 bips and I feel very confident about this.
If you really see there are three categories which as a license we are permitted to play in. There is a discipline savings category. There is the mortality mobility category and then there is a longevity category. The later two categories are fairly underpenetrated and India continues to provide significant opportunities in that space.
We have experienced almost marginally positive operating variance during the quarter on policyholders...we are fairly confident that over few quarters we will be able to mitigate this [GST impact] completely.
Our 25-month persistency improved to an all-time high of 76% which reflects a nearly 420 basis point year-on-year improvement. These trends underscore the quality of our customer acquisition.
The new banks like I mentioned across seven banks that we've acquired recently in all the seven banks we have a counter share of more than 25%. In three of those seven banks we've already become the number one player.
