Computer Age Management Services Limited (CAMS), India’s largest registrar and transfer agent, announced major strides in technology and AI-driven innovation aimed at strengthening the country’s mutual fund infrastructure. The company is future-proofing its platform to support sustained industry expansion, enabling it to host up to eight new asset management companies (AMCs) annually.
CAMS’s upgraded platform is designed to back new product categories such as Special Investment Funds (SIFs) and GIFT City-based mutual fund schemes — an emerging space witnessing rapid interest. The company’s GIFT City presence, established over four years ago, already caters to more than 30 clients, making it a crucial growth area for the coming quarters.
AI-driven expansion and efficiency
As part of its platform re-architecture roadmap, CAMS has introduced CAMSLens, an AI-powered regulatory implementation engine, with four more AI integrations planned over the next two quarters. These developments aim to significantly enhance the firm’s operational scalability and regulatory compliance capabilities.
Managing Director Anuj Kumar highlighted that CAMS is “designing and integrating advanced AI-driven technologies to deliver large lifts in efficiency, speed, and scale of operations.” The firm’s migration to cloud platforms and API-based frameworks is expected to double its operational capacity within the next two years.
Record transaction and investor growth
CAMS enabled six mutual fund houses — Angel One, Unifi, Jio BlackRock, Ceybank Sri Lanka, Taurus, and Choice — to launch their products during CY2025, marking a record year of mutual fund activation. The company executed over 900 million financial transactions in the previous fiscal year and maintains infrastructure capable of handling double that volume.
As of September 2025, assets under management (AUM) administered by CAMS surpassed Rs 52 lakh crore, reflecting a 68% market share in the mutual fund industry. The company’s unique investor count also rose 17% year-on-year, reaching 4.3 crore investors.
New AI solution: CAMSLens
The new CAMSLens platform is designed to ensure rapid, consistent, and accurate implementation of regulatory circulars from SEBI and other financial sector regulators such as RBI, IRDAI, PFRDA, and IFSCA. It employs a proprietary Semantic Link Model (SLM) to perform real-time contextual analysis of new circulars, link them to existing frameworks, and generate department-specific actionables including FAQs, summaries, and automated audit trails.
