After three decades of cautious compounding, Canara Robeco AMC finally stepped into the limelight with its maiden post-listing concall — and oh boy, it was less of a debut and more of a masterclass in measured confidence. CEO Rajnish Narula sounded like a man who’s run enough SIP campaigns to know patience always wins. “Do not be weary in doing good,” says the Bible — and CRAMC seems to have applied that to AUM growth. The numbers looked more “steady yoga pose” than “Zumba burst,” but that’s the AMC way — no heartburn, just long-term breathing exercises. Stick around; it gets more philosophical (and profitable).
