2-Min Summary
✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Prudent Corporate Advisory delivered a solid FY26 with revenue growth of 19.4% and operating profit growth of 18.2%, despite market headwinds. Key drivers included record equity net sales of ₹13,900 crore and strong insurance premium growth (health +35%, life +28%). The launch of the AI platform 'Prudent Age' aims to enhance distributor productivity. Management expects employee cost to rise ~14% in FY27 and net yields to remain stable despite regulatory changes (GST rationalization, exit load removal). AUM has rebounded to ₹1.33 trillion as of May 5, 2026, providing a revenue tailwind. Risk: The impact of the 5 bps exit load removal on backbook yields remains uncertain, with potential 2-3 bps compression.

We believe this meaningfully bridges the gap between technology and the usability for our partners.
Our equity net sales at 13,900 cr were the highest ever in the history.
The market for the platform business is going to become very very big. We are not worried about what this competition will take something but rather I would say that the market has become bigger and bigger.
