The hybrid work model has been widely accepted across the country, resulting in higher demand for better, larger residential units. This market trend assisted us with higher disbursements and improved financial performance during the current quarter. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives continues to add value and bring in higher efficiency. In the current quarter, around 20% of disbursements were initiated through our HomY App. This has helped our company to have better penetration among younger home loan borrowers.”
