India Shelter now operates out of 236 branches in 15 states. We added 13 new branches during the quarter. Going forward, we will continue to focus on sustainable growth by penetrating deeper into our existing geographies, where a significant unserved and underserved population resides. During the quarter, we witnessed strong AUM growth of 37% YoY, led by a 23% YoY increase in disbursements. Our margins remained in line with our guidance for the medium term at 6.1%. Our return ratios continue to remain healthy at 5.6% RoA and 14.3% RoE."
