1. Opening Hook
While most brokers were busy blaming FIIs, geopolitics, and Mercury in retrograde, Anand Rathi quietly dropped a Q3 that said: “Market dull? Not our problem.”
In a year when Sensex barely stretched and Nifty yawned, this firm decided to grow profits by 72% YoY—because why follow the crowd when you can lap it?

This wasn’t a “one good quarter” story. This was annuity income flexing, leverage behaving, and management sounding unusually… confident.
Stick around. The real masala is in margins, MTF math, and management’s “no-guidance-but-here’s-everything” guidance 😏
