Since January 29 of this year, the 21-day EMA (exponential moving average) has consistently provided strong support for the stock.

In its investor presentation for the quarter, the company noted that its total loans reached Rs 173 crore, a significant increase from Rs 41 crore in the same period last year.

The company said its current focus is on vendor financing, with plans to expand into home loans, loans against property, and loans against mutual funds in the near future.

JFS-Blackrock venture
