Devesh Agarwal: Thank you, Aviraj. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Q1 FY '27 Earnings Call of
KFin Technologies Limited.
Today, from the company, we have with us Mr. Sreekanth Nadella – MD and CEO, Mr. Vivek
Mathur – CFO, and Ram Gattani – Head of Investor Relations.
I will now hand over the call to Sreekanth for his opening remarks and thereafter, we will open
the floor for Q&A. Thank you and over to you, Sreekanth.
Sreekanth Nadella: Thank you, Devesh. Very good morning to one and all and thank you so much for taking time
out this morning for our conference.
As we have published the results the Friday of the previous week, our narrative continues to be
to double down on our strategy, which has been working exceedingly well, broadly to continue
to grow the addressable market for the organization. And while doing it, diversify the risk that a
singular asset class or a singular geography or a singular business process affords us.
As you could clearly see over the past five years, our revenue has increased manifold, even as
the geographical diversification, asset class diversification, and the business process
diversification has started to give the necessary yields and the resilience that is required in times
like this with the markets not necessarily providing us the right kind of grip that is required.
In a quarter and an year that had gone by where the mark-to-market gains have been negligible
or negative, our performance exudes confidence for us in terms of the future that lies ahead of
us as the markets will improve.
As an organization, from a singular glance standpoint, we continue to be the single largest
registrar and transfer agent in India in terms of the number of folios that we manage. Nearly
every individual in India who has invested in a financial asset class has some connection with
KFin Technologies, whether you are in the direct securities market in the form of IPOs, whether
you are in the secondary markets, whether you are in mutual funds, alternate investment funds,
pensions, private retirement schemes, so on and so forth. Our win record across all these asset
classes and geographies is a testimonial in terms of the execution of the strategy that we have
set for ourselves.

As you could see from the mutual fund standpoint, the quarter that had gone by, we have our
funds, in fact, have performed better than the industry average in terms of the overall AUM and
even on the equity side of it. Similarly, is the case with the issuer solutions where nearly 80%
by market cap of all the IPOs that have happened in the quarter that had gone by have all been
orchestrated by KFin Technologies. Similarly, in terms of international fund solutions, both the
revenue and the fund addition is superlative with the overall revenue growing at over 30% year-
on-year on the international.
Ascent, our acquisition that happened in the October of the previous year, continues its stellar
performance in terms of both new client addition as well as expansion of the AUM of the existing
clients, notwithstanding the fact that the digital currencies have tapered down in terms of the
overall mark-to-market in spite and despite of the overall AUM and hence the revenue
corresponding to that has grown, and that is largely on account of expansion of the net new asset
management companies and more importantly, the wins of large fund managers. In fact, the
organization had won six new fund managers with a fund value of over $100 million, so to speak.
In terms of pensions, as we have been over the past four years, we continue our outperformance
vis-a-vis the industry. Even as industry has grown at a certain percentage, we have grown nearly
3.5x of that particular growth, making us the second largest CRA in the country and in fact, thus
allowing us a newer business lines as we have orchestrated across the globe in terms of getting
into the pension fund administration beyond just in India.
The quarter that had gone by also on a qualitative aspect has significantly enhanced our ESG
score to 63, which was 54 the preceding year, which means our performance is not just purely
on the financial but also is summarily in terms of the overall overarching and the holistic work
it takes, whether it is in terms of environment, social and the governance aspects of it, not to
mention all aspects pertaining to the technology and cybersecurity where we have been rated
among the highest around 810 on the Bitsight score.
We continue our focus in terms of new product innovation and deployment. Nearly every
quarter, we try to develop and make innovative solutions, which not just in India, in fact, many
parts of the world have not seen. I will call out one such thing in the mutual fund industry, which
we have just launched. But before that, as you have already seen the headlines, our total revenue
has grown over 30% year-on-year, consolidating Ascent. Excluding Ascent also, we have grown
nearly 10% thereabouts, EBITDA grew about 7% plus and the PAT, there was a marginal decline
to flattish performance, largely on account of the depreciation amortization and several non-cash
items, which we have already explained in the past.
What is also happening is to see the overall share of the non-domestic mutual fund business now
stands over 40%, close to 40%, in fact. I think four years back, when this strategy was unveiled,
there was a fair amount of skepticism in terms of if it is possible to orchestrate several such large
businesses, but lo and behold, in a matter of four years, a near 40% of the revenue comes from
businesses which are beyond.

Now, these are young, fast-growing businesses. At an individual contract level, they are
profitable, margin-accretive, but obviously with a fast-growing business, it al
