Gaurav Seth, managing director & CEO, 5paisa Capital, said, ?During Q2FY26, markets remained volatile with persistent FII selling, offset by strong DII inflows. While ADTO declined across Cash and F&O segments, the industry?s MTF book witnessed strong traction, crossing Rs 1 lakh crore. With a focus on quality acquisition, we added over 95,000 customers, improved CAC and FYR, and surpassed the 5 million customer milestone. Our MTF initiatives ? including the new ?Pay-Later? option, competitive interest rates, broader security coverage, and flexible funding ? helped expand our client funding book to Rs 364 crore. We enhanced our platforms with features upgrades in digital onboarding, a revamped MF section, an in-app dedicated ETF Dashboard, the web-based Scalper Platform, and advanced trader tools like Strategy Analyzer and Alpha Scan. We remain committed to continuous innovation and leveraging AI to enhance customer experience.
We are also delighted to welcome Zor Gorelov as an additional independent non-executive director on our board. Zor is a global AI veteran with more than three decades of international experience in artificial intelligence and technology. He was the Co-Founder and CEO of Kasisto, a leading provider of AI-powered digital assistants for the financial services industry. We are confident that 5paisa will benefit immensely from Zor?s deep expertise in driving AI-led transformation.?
