Our private sector market share stood at 15.2% for 11MFY26. We outperformed the broader industry in 2 key focus areas: The first one being retail protection which grew 43%, and the second one being agency channel which also grew ahead of industry. Retail sum assured growth for 11MFY26 was higher than the industry, reinforcing the quality of our business mix. Retail Protection was a clear highlight during the year, with growth of 43%, supported by lower pricing post GST and a strengthened product portfolio. Annuities were another area of meaningful progress. Looking ahead, we expect a gradual shift in the product mix as customers rebalance toward long-term savings and protection in an environment of greater uncertainty. The ongoing build-up of the agency channel was another strong story of the year. Agency grew ahead of the company by 500 bps, maintaining a strong protection mix. We believe our focus on continued investments in distribution, product competitiveness, partner engagement positions and pricing discipline us well to deliver more sustainable and profitable growth as the environment normalises.'
