For most brokers, a transaction is the end. For Geojit, a transaction is just the beginning, the starting point of a long-term wealth relationship.
We have stopped hiring for the field. This is a move on account of the West Asia crisis which is creating a shadow in India also.
We are not looking at raising capital as of now. There is nothing on the line for discussion also.
