manufacturing and services, underpinned by the PLI schemes, and

infrastructure push by the government.
Inflation remained within the RBI 's comfort

households in the country and an increase in total wealth.

holistically catering to their nuanced needs.

B&K Securities to offer a comprehensive suite of capital market services to both
existing and new clients across all market segments, including UHNI, HNI, retail, and
institutional investors.
Utilise ET Money's
wellestablished digital platform and extensive reach to penetrate the mass affluent market

our business areas, as is evidenced explicitly by the addition of 100+ senior private
bankers and deeply experienced investment professionals over the last 24 months. Our
employee retention figures continue to be industryleading, with regrettable attrition at
