Category 3- U GRO Capital aims to grow its Assets Under Management (AUM) from INR 5,000 crores in FY '23 to around INR 20,000 crores by FY '25.
- Disbursements are growing at a quarterly CAGR of roughly 11% to 13%, and this rate is expected to be maintained for the next two to three quarters.

- The company expects improved efficiency as operating expenses stabilize and income increases, targeting a cost-to-income ratio of around 45% by FY '25.
- Off-book portfolio (like Lending-as-a-Service/co-lending) is growing, contributing significantly to overall AUM.
- The company plans digital initiatives (like a customer onboarding app) by mid-February to aid growth.
