Angel's tech-focused approach has not only made the business resilient but facilitated us to hold a strong market position. Our endeavour to offer clients the best investing experience is reaping rich dividends, as evidenced by our robust operational performance over many quarters. We continue to expand our market share in total demat accounts, incremental demat accounts and NSE active client base.
We are preparing to leverage the maturing ecosystem by broadening our product portfolio. The first step towards this is the roll out of our Super App to our iOS and Web clients, access to which will progressively be given to our Android clients. In line with our dividend policy, the board of directors have declared a distribution of 35% of the quarters' profit, as an interim dividend to the shareholders.
Narayan Gangadhar, chief executive officer of Angel One said, Quarter gone by has been historic, as we became one of the few players to surpass the 10 million client mark. Our strong operational parameters demonstrate high level of resilience of our business model, despite market cycles. For 39 months in a row, i.e. since we migrated to a flat pricing structure, we have experienced growth in our average daily orders in over 80% instances, when the headline indices corrected by 5% or more.
We are confident of the robustness of our business model and strongly believe that our engines will facilitate us to garner superior growth from our target markets. The successful roll out of the first phase of our Super App, has been a hallmark event. The app will be superimposed with multiple layers, offering a variety of different financial products.
As we move ahead to achieve our goal of market leadership, we further expanded our tech talent pool with hirings from top tech companies. These assets are vital for the growth of our business as they will enable us to build superior products for our clients, thus offering them the best experience. This will positively contribute to make the business robust, resilient and competitive.
