Gaurav Seth, managing director & CEO, 5paisa Capital, said, “Q1 FY26 began on a strong note for both investors and the broking industry. Easing global uncertainties and stronger domestic economic indicators led to improved investor sentiment. During the quarter, both the Nifty and Sensex indices posted a significant recovery, rising 16% from their recent lows.

Additionally, retail premium turnover volume at the exchange level also improved. These positive developments contributed to a 9% growth (Q-o-Q) in our Income and a 15% growth (Q-o-Q) in profitability.
