Regulatory Update

Strategic Focus Priorities

The presentation outlined seven strategic priorities for scalable growth:

1. Operationalise FEMA 401 for an expanded addressable market.

2. Deepen student payments to capture the end-to-end student journey.

3. Increase wallet share through higher partner activation.

4. Expand partner-led distribution via branches, Card Distribution through Regulated Entities (REs), and the Forex Correspondent framework.

5. Deepen digital platform adoption across all customer journeys.

6. Accelerate cards & direct-to-consumer (D2C) growth.

7. Maintain compliance by design.

Operating Environment Context

  • Cyclical Headwinds: Geopolitical volatility (Middle East conflict), exchange-rate volatility (INR/USD swings), tighter US visa/immigration policy, and softened retail forex demand due to aviation costs.
  • Structural Tailwinds: Durable growth in outbound education, cross-border payments, and the widened regulatory mandate from FEMA 401.

Capital Structure

  • Paid-up Equity Share Capital: ₹12.70 Crore (Face Value ₹10/- each) as of June 30, 2026.
