best suited for our clients seamlessly and conveniently. India's digital opportunity is a pivotal force driving our sustained growth with staggering number of internet users and a widespread access to high-speed mobile internet. The revolutionary India's Stack has played a transformative role in unlocking the potential of countries' internet economy. It is exciting to see that this digital revolution is not confined to metros and tier-one cities, but is also creating opportunity in tier two and beyond cities, which are home to over billion Indians.

Despite that immense potential, this region lack comprehensive financial offering, a gap effectively addressed by a FinTech Company like ours. Angel One was amongst the first traditional broker, brokerage house to proactively transition to digital first business model. Though our innovative approach, we are creating a synergetic ecosystem to foster this change and transform the life of million Indians.

We have made significant investments in developing a robust tech infrastructure and incubating new products to provide a comprehensive range of financial solutions. Throughout our journey, we have evolved to ensure our client benefits from cutting-edge and convenient service in today's digital landscape. Our digital outreach efforts have been impactful, enabling clients from beyond metros and Tier 1 cities to access and use capital market product with ease. This democratization of financial services has been a cornerstone of our growth strategy as we remain committed to deepening our roots across untapped opportunities, thus demonstrating our ability to connect and serve a broader population.

We strive to synchronize our strategy with our commitment to being a steadfast partner at every phase of our clients' lives. As we harness the potential of data from our extensive client base, we ensure our services fulfill the emerging needs of all our clients. Leveraging a vast pool of cultivated data, we have developed predictive models using complex algorithms, analyzing clients' behavior to augment engagement through personalized experiences. Deep insights derived from data analysis play a pivotal role in decision-making, enabling us to adapt swiftly to market shifts.

Our data-driven machine learning algorithms reinforce security protocols, safeguarding sensitive information, and mitigating fraud risks.

Our super app exemplifies our services. It enables us to serve a diverse client base, handle transition at scale, and empower clients across regions that are otherwise underserved by traditional mediums. Through FY24, we expanded our capabilities of our super app as we scaled up our mutual fund distribution, commenced beta testing for the distribution of credit and fixed income products. We also incubated our new asset management and wealth management businesses, which furthers our ambition of being an exclusive FinTech player and taking a step closer to our vision of reaching a billion lives in the coming years.

We have complemented this product diversification strategy with bite-sized educational videos, often delivered in vernacular language, to better educate our clients and guide them in making informed decisions. It is through such

engagement with both product and diversity and content strategy that we have enjoyed consistent revenue from all our cohorts, thus making the business highly profitable, owing to its high lifetime value.

FY24 was also an opportune time to elevate our brand presence while also facilitating deepening of India's capital market as we onboarded a diverse pan-India audience. Hence, we entered into five-year associate partner sponsorship for the esteemed Indian Premier League IPL commencing in 2024.

This sponsorship provides unparalleled brand exposure across on-ground, digital, and televised platform, allowing us to connect with a vast audience, particularly in tier two, tier three, and beyond cities. I'm happy to inform that our strategic investments during the year yielded phenomenal result as we surpassed a significant milestone of expanding our client base to over 22 million as of March 2024.

With a growing client base and rising activity, it was imperative to maintain the robustness and scalability of our system, which handled an impressive 86.5% growth in our average daily order between quarter one and quarter four of FY24, with a peak daily order scaling past 10 million during the year.

During this year, we emphasize significantly scaling up our assisted business to better serve underrepresented market in Tier 2 and beyond cities, expand our network by forging newer partnership and providing client access to financial saving in more structured manner.

Strategic Leadership additions has fortified our pursuit, bringing fresh perspective and expertise to the company. At the core of our vision is our ambition to use distinctive business models to empower billion life using passive products, primarily through step plans for both index fund and ETF.

This concerted effort positions us at the forefront of industry innovation, enabling us to redefine standards and delivering unparalleled value to our client. In the second half of FY24, we incorporated our wealth management subsidiary, driven by the ambitious goal of revolutionizing the wealth management industry through technology. By integrating domain expertise with cutting-edge technology, we aim to establish a winning position in this rapidly evolving landscape. Our first step has been to assemble a high-caliber team of co-founders having a combined experience of over six decades, specializing into scaling wealth tech business with innovative digital offering. Our strategy here is clinical, initially targeting ultra HNI and HNI clients before expanding to digitally serve affluent and emerging HNI, a currently underserved segment of the population. We see immense potential in optimizing cost while achieving rapid scale-up of our business. With the aim to realizing our aspiration of growing business through direct and assisted business unit, underscoring our commitment to attending operational excellence and unlocking value for our stakeholders, we have proposed restructuring the business. To augment our market share by sustaining growth across key

We will now move to the question and answer sessions. I would request Ms. Celestine Elizabeth Mascarenes.

Client ID is 120514. The last four five digits are 90210. Welcome, ma'am.

Celestine Mascarenes Respected Chairman, Mr. Dinesh Thakkar, other members of

the board, my dear fellow Shareholders, I am Mrs. CE Mascarenes. I am speaking from Mumbai. First of all, I thank the Company Secretary, Madam Naheed Patel, and her team for sending me an annual report and also registering me as a speaker and giving me this platform to speak. Thank you so much, ma'am.

Now annual report is full of information, facts and figures at the same time self-explanatory, adhering to all the norms of corporate governance. Our working, I come to the working, working is good, pivot, PAT up and dividend in four means four interim amounting to about Rs. 38.65 is a very good dividend in spite of difficult market conditions and very good market capitalization. Now I would make you a request. See that buyback instead of further again you may give an NTF instead of that make buyback till the till 30[th] September because that amount what you will give in buyback will not be added to our dividend. Instead it will be separately like earlier so after that date then whatever you give dividend goes on adding buyback also gets added to the dividend so please if you can if there is a cash flow you can think of it instead of then two three interim you can skip I feel according to me I don't know what is the other shareholder's thoughts on it. I congratulate you and the entire team for all the awards and accolades as listed, documented in the annual report, as well as very good CSR work, which I appreciate. Now I go to the queries. Have we listed the ESG on any dedicated ESG platform, whether

domestic or international, and what is our rating. Next one, I find in the balance sheet, 43 million new SIPs are open in this year, 24, FY24.

What happens if the, these are mostly millenniums, so what happens if they lose their job? How the problem because mostly these SIPs are monthly. So then how do you solve their problem in case they lose the job for quite some time and then how they can pay and what exactly maybe some funds borrowed I don't understand? So could you just throw some light on this? Number three is what is the spend on the cyber security? Next is the effect of the budget with regard to longterm, short-term capital gains, losses.

You just now spoke of also wealth management, UHNI and HNI. How much is a book in that and I would like to know how much margins we have got in derivative, derivatives vertical. Lastly but not the least, what is the future roadmap for the next three years? Capacity requirements for the organic and inorganic for acquisition and which vertical which the management feels will be the growth driver in the future. With this, I support all the regulations. I wish my company all the best. Thank you for giving me this patient hearing. Thank you once again and Namaste.

Chairman

Thank you very much. It's very extensive list. So excellent questions and thank you for your compliments regarding our performance on buyback I will see that what can be done let’s the Board meet before September if there is a possibility because September is to kind of in like close anyway we'll discuss this if it is there is a possibility then we'll work out

something for that but currently it does not appear to be that we would be going for any dividend or buyback immediately.

Second on CSR, thank you very much for your compliments and we are very kind of like excited with the development that happens on that side. Who would like to answer that ESG rating? Vineet you will take it.

Group CFO

Chairman

We have recently been rated by Crisil for our ESG rating this is for FY23 and we have been rated at 57 on a base of 100. So, this is our rating.

  • And on SIP thing being a mutual fund, anybody who discontinues paying future SIP does not make any loss whatever they have paid it keeps on compounding it is up to them whether they want to redeem it or they want to continue so it is not like an insurance your premium is not paid insurance is not available mutual fund is investment so they can just continue or stop or again if they get a job they can again restart that SIP.

On cyber security side, who would like to take this?

Group CFO

Chairman

Yeah, so madam, we do not disclose the details of the spends across the sub expense ledgers. So we will not be able to give that data.

Yeah, and on wealth management side, it is just recently we have formed the subsidiary. So initial kind of like efforts will go in getting talent. Already we have got an excellent set of people who joined as a co-founder. We have applied for relevant licenses. Once we start the business, we will come out with numbers for that.

I just missed out. What does a derivative question?

Celestine Mascarenes What is the margin we get in the derivative business? How much margins we are enjoying in the derivatives?

Chairman Yeah, so derivative business like our OPM what we discuss and all that time and again we disclose and declare it is same like from derivative or any other segment. So it is in the region of around OPM of around 50 to 52 percent. So it ranges from 47 to 52 percent.

Celestine Mascarenes You just now spoke of the wealth management UHNI and HNI this is just a starting point so once you become very strong do you think of demerging like so many others have done you know Edelweiss and all.

Chairman

So madam already this is a 100% subsidiary is a separate company so as we progress in this as we see the growth, we'll take the call. Currently it is floated as a 100% subsidiary. And on future roadmap, as we know that, see financial service in India, everybody needs it. And we as a digital player are the right player to go deep into every pin code. So we believe apart from giving them investment and kind of like a trading platform, we are best suited to sell credit product, product we are best suited to sell insurance and again when it comes to personal finance and all that. So, we see a huge growth across all verticals.

So that's the reason we invested heavily in Super APP and this year we introduced this previous financial year. We introduced mutual fund and we are seeing traction over there was that we are number two in terms of registered SIP. So going forward,

we are going to offer credit products, we are going to offer insurance product, and plus, as I said, that wealth management, we are to bring the ticket size lower so that people who want to create big AUM from this market, they are helped. Okay, thank you.

Celestine Mascarenes Thank you.

  • Company Secretary We now move on to our next speaker shareholder Mr. Dilip Kumar Jain. His client ID is 71486. Hello. Welcome to the meeting.

  • Dilip Kumar Jain I am Dilip Kumar Jain speaking from Jaipur, Gulabi Nagri. and welcome to Mr. Dinesh Thakkar. Thank you very much I wish you all the best you have given such good results to the Company and you also think about investors I am associated with you from 2008. I am your client since 2008 when your branch was opened in Jaipur. We had opened 4-5 accounts when your kiosk type was started here. But now I am facing a problem that my DP was there till 2021-2022 at another place. I shifted here on your request. Now I am facing problems with your staff they are not taking care of customers, you have big network and all you should resolve customer’s problems. I have sent that mail to your secretarial office as well. I have not received any reply from them. In my DP account DP charges are 15 to 20 thousand rupees per month. If I send a script 4 times, they debit it 4 times and take the charges. Thing like this should not happen customer are losing faith in the company I have sent the email but not received any reply.

I wish you all the best for the awards and the company. I wish you all the best for the upcoming festivals. I wish you all the

best for Rakhi, Raksha Bandhan and 15th August. The company has grown more than 100 times since 2008, but customer satisfaction is not sharing by the company. Please do that thing, I am not complaining about anything I am just saying that the level we have reached, the satisfaction of the customers is important don’t take it as a complaint, this is treated as a suggestion

Chairman

No, great suggestion Great suggestion. Dilipji, first of all, you have been with us since 2008. We are very happy that when a customer stays on the platform despite the issues you are facing, we feel that we have done a good job in some areas. But if there is a complaint of a customer and we have not addressed it, we have to see that and address that. I would get your thing addressed by a customer grievances cell they will check your complaint we have a platform for resolution I don't know if your token number is the same so it is possible.

I have put it on escalation but it was not treated.

Dilipji we will check I don't think it is a big problem it is a misunderstanding the prices many times customer understanding is different. The way market functions every transaction is charged by SEBI we are not charging. This is share holders meeting. I will take your complaint separately and address it. Thank you for the good words and draws our attention to this issue. We will solve your issue with investment grievances.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Company Secretary We now move to our next speaker shareholder Mr. Yusuf Yunus Rangwala whose client ID is 232396. Sir, very good morning.

Yusuf Yunus Rangwala Very good morning. Sir I have three questions. What is the future of Yes Bank? Second what you think about Infosys and third Balaji what is your view. Sir please give me your appointment I want to meet you. Were we are in world ranking. Sir our 25[th] year celebration is pending you promise us a small get together. Sir our company secretary hardworking she is a very particular. Last year I can’t join the meeting but this year I am connected, today also I have 10 meetings for example Indian Oil, but we love you sir. If you have any public issue please call us sir. Thank you sir Jai Hind.

Chairman

I have a recommendation that this is not a right forum. We keep giving advice on the right platform. So it will be good if you follow that. Because we are a digital platform. We don't give advice one on one. But collectively what you have to buy, what you have to sell, advice is on our platform. And you need particular advice on stocks. When we start PMS or wealth management, that team will be able to give you advice.

Second you have taken time from busy schedule lots of meetings going on thank you very much for that it is our honor because when we talk to our shareholders we feel good and when shareholders are happy with us we feel delighted.

In world ranking we want to be number one, but in India we are number three and thank you for your compliments regarding the services provided by Company Secretary she is nice kind

lady and have empathy for all people around us and plus shareholders thank you very much for your compliment.

  • Company Secretary Now move to the next shareholder, Mr. Vinod Agarwal. His client ID is 78714. Mr. Agarwal, can you please switch on your camera?

Vinod Agarwal Respected Chairman and MD, Dinesh Thakkarji, and CS, Naheed Patel, our Whole-Time Director, Ketan Shah, and CFO, Vineet Agarwal, Good Morning and regards to everyone sir So I voted for all the nine elements sought to be adopted in today's a AGM sir So the PAT was very good the five year CAGR of 56% to 55% Unprecedented that you don't get to see companies giving 50% plus CAGR or five-year period which you have given and the client acquisition. We are the largest client based broking company with NSE and everything sir, all very good sir. So the impact of the new tax and the new budget on the F&O will have an impact on the trading I assume. So as other people are also saying that the budget has imposed some increased tax on F&O operations.

Chairman

  • Vinodji, thank you for your compliment. Thank you for adopting all the resolution. And as you know that we have been really working hard to see that company grows very at a higher rate. So our focus currently is that. So allow us to grow and make everybody happy rather than just calling few people and celebrating. I think our main celebration is when we see growth in our business. So on plans of Gift City and all that is an ongoing. So as and when we've seen an opportunity anywhere, we will definitely look at that very seriously. But anyway, I believe that you have been with us for all this AGMs and all that. So that makes us happy that you are a very kind of like responsible shareholder who wants to talk to us, who wants to get engaged with us and that is the right habit. Let us continue with that. That helps us to validate whatever we are doing wrong or right, we get shareholders opinion. Thank you very much for being with us.
