INDUSTRY SCENARIO

The Indian capital markets witnessed steady growth in FY 2024-25, supported by continued investor participation, resilient macroeconomic fundamentals, and an expanding retail investor base. Regulatory reforms initiated by SEBI, enhanced digital adoption, and the deepening of capital markets have contributed to greater transparency and investor confidence.

The stock broking industry saw rising participation through digital platforms, particularly from Tier II and Tier III cities, driven by mobile trading apps and simplified KYC processes. While volatility in global markets and monetary policy uncertainty created intermittent headwinds, India remained one of the most attractive equity markets globally during the fiscal.

The financial consultancy segment, comprising investment advisory, wealth management, and corporate advisory services, has also grown in relevance. Businesses and high-net-worth individuals are increasingly seeking structured financial guidance amidst dynamic regulatory frameworks and evolving investment instruments.

Alka Securities Limited, with its longstanding presence in the Indian capital markets, continues to build on its core competencies in broking and consultancy services, offering personalized, tech-enabled, and compliant financial solutions to its growing clientele.

The Company remains optimistic about the future of the Indian financial services sector. With increasing retail participation, improved financial literacy, and a growing appetite for wealth creation through capital markets, the demand for professional broking and advisory services is expected to remain strong.

Going forward, the Company aims to:

1. Enhance Digital Capabilities

Investing in robust trading platforms and AI-enabled advisory tools to deliver an intuitive and secure customer experience.

2. Expand Consultancy Services

Scaling corporate advisory, investment planning, and wealth management verticals, catering to SMEs, start-ups, and individual investors.

3. Client Base Diversification

Targeting under-served segments through financial literacy campaigns and partnership models with fintech and ecosystem players.

4. Strengthen Compliance & Governance

Adopting best-in-class practices in risk management, data security, and regulatory reporting in line with SEBI guidelines.

5. Invest in Talent Development

Recruiting and nurturing professionals with expertise in capital markets, research, and financial planning to enhance service quality.

The Company believes that its strategic roadmap, technology-first approach, and client-centric model

will drive sustainable growth and long-term stakeholder value.
