Management Commentary

Sreekanth Nadella, Managing Director & CEO, KFin Technologies Limited stated: "The next phase of financial market infrastructure will be defined not only by how efficiently transactions are processed, but also by how effectively trust and compliance are embedded into the ecosystem. AML cannot remain a point in time check when investor profiles and risk signals can change throughout the customer lifecycle."

Vikas Khemani, Chairman, Association of Portfolio Managers in India (APMI) stated: "As the PMS industry continues to mature, strong governance and robust compliance infrastructure are fundamental to building a resilient and investor centric ecosystem. APMI's adoption of InPro is aimed at making technology enabled AML capabilities more accessible to portfolio managers across the industry, irrespective of their scale."
