1. Opening Hook
When Nifty caught a cold this quarter, Anand Rathi Wealth showed up in a three-piece suit with 31% PAT growth and zero sniffles. Feroze Azeez, the undisputed philosopher of Indian wealth management, opened his 16th straight “market-agnostic” quarter with data, poetry, and a sermon on Jensen’s Alpha.
