Brief overview of mixed results

Business and market context
CAMS’s Assets Under Management (AUM) crossed the ₹52 lakh crore milestone, with the company maintaining its dominant market share of approximately 68%. The company recorded strong performance in its non-mutual fund verticals (Insurance repository, electronic payment services, software solutions and analytics, KYC registration agency), which now contribute 14.4 % of the total revenue. Even after this revenue earning from its diversified business, the YoY profit declined, which triggered the sharp sell from investors.
