A detailed investor presentation has been uploaded on our website, and I hope you've had an opportunity to see it. I'm joined today by the leadership team of the CDSL Group. Let me begin with a brief overview of the quarter before the CFO takes us through financial performance in greater detail. From an industry perspective, the activity levels in the securities market remain healthy. CDSL has opened about 58 lakh new demat accounts during the quarter, taking the total demat accounts on the CDSL platform to 18.59 crores as on 30th June 2026 and maintaining a market share of approximately 80%. The quarter also saw a few important developments for the organization. During the quarter, our governing Board and our shareholders have approved the appointment of Shri Amit Mahajan as Executive Director, Vertical 1; and Srimati Nayana Ovalekar as Executive Director for Vertical 2. The shareholders' approval happened after SEBI had given the approvals to CDSL. These appointments are expected to further strengthen the leadership across our operations, technology, regulatory, compliance, risk management and investor-facing functions. We were also honored to receive several recognitions during the quarter, including being named as the most innovative fintech company in Asia Pacific by Global Finance Magazine and also receiving the Innovation and Settlement Efficiency Award at the Global Custodian Leaders in Asia Custody Awards. These recognitions reflect the efforts of our employees, depository participants and the wider ecosystem stakeholders.
