It is a function of few things like size of portfolio, efficiency of distribution, strong renewal book and move towards expense of management (EOM) guideline of the regulator among others. Our gross written premium (GWP) is already at 3,700 crore in FY24. We are now moving very close to ₹5,000 crore, potentially by FY25.
