Computer Age Management Services Ltd (CAMS) is strengthening its technology-led growth strategy with continued investments in platform modernisation, digital architecture, automation and artificial intelligence (AI), as the company seeks to consolidate its leadership in India’s rapidly expanding financial services ecosystem.
In his message to shareholders in the company’s Annual Report 2025-26, CAMS Chairman Dinesh Kumar Mehrotra said technology leadership remains central to the company’s long-term growth plans and is helping improve operational efficiency, cyber resilience, scalability and customer experience.
Technology at the core
According to Mehrotra, CAMS continued to invest in next-generation technology capabilities during the year, positioning the company to support the evolving requirements of India’s financial services infrastructure.
“Technology leadership remains central to CAMS’ growth strategy. During the year, the Company continued investments in platform modernisation, digital architecture, automation and artificial intelligence capabilities. These initiatives are enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening cyber resilience, improving scalability and enabling superior customer experience,” he said.
Mutual fund business maintains leadership
The company’s core mutual fund business continued to register strong growth during the year. CAMS retained its dominant market position, servicing nearly 68 per cent of the industry’s assets under management (AUM).
Mutual fund AUM serviced by CAMS touched ₹55.1 lakh crore during the year, aided by healthy retail investor participation, sustained systematic investment plan (SIP) inflows and rising transaction volumes.
The company said equity-oriented assets reached fresh highs while investor folios continued to grow steadily, reflecting the ongoing financialisation of household savings and increasing participation in capital markets.
Diversification strategy gathers pace
Beyond its core mutual fund servicing business, CAMS reported significant progress across its diversified business portfolio.
The company’s non-mutual fund businesses delivered strong double-digit growth and are emerging as increasingly important contributors to long-term value creation.
Businesses spanning alternatives, insurance repository services, payments, know-your-customer (KYC) solutions and digital platforms expanded both in scale and capabilities during the year, supported by growing client adoption and expanding market opportunities.
Favourable industry tailwinds
CAMS highlighted that India’s financial services industry is entering a new phase of growth, driven by accelerating digital adoption, formalisation of savings and rising investor participation.
The company also pointed to strong industry tailwinds, including expanding retail participation in financial markets, growing financialisation of household savings, sustained SIP inflows, increasing adoption of digital investment platforms and the emergence of Special Investment Funds (SIFs).
Focus on long-term value creation
The company said it remains well positioned to capitalise on these opportunities through its technology leadership, strong market position and diversified growth engines.
Mehrotra said, “India’s financial services industry stands at an inflection point, driven by digital adoption, formalisation of savings and increasing investor participation. With strong fundamentals, technology leadership and diversified growth engines, CAMS remains well positioned to participate meaningfully in this opportunity and create sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.”
Mehrotra added that the Board continues to focus on long-term value creation while maintaining strong oversight on risk management, data security, operational resilience and sustainable business practices.
