Speaking on the performance of the company, Mr. Motilal Oswal, CMD said: The gains in the benchmark index tapered this quarter. The BSE Sensex was up only 4.8% QoQ, as compared to the stellar 13.5% seen in the previous quarter. But despite a dip in cash equity volumes this quarter from the highs of May and June, the activity levels are still significantly higher than the historical levels seen in the last three fiscal years. Retail participation has seen traction this year as compared to recent years, which is encouraging. As the IPO pipeline gains further momentum, it should ideally bring in more retail participants into the markets as they seek to benefit from the opportunities. We have remained committed to investing in our technology, people and infrastructure through this period. Our new venture - Aspire Home Finance, within a very short period of commencing business, has already helped over 500 Indian families realize their dreams of owning a house while building an efficient and effective operating model.
