Our Vision

To be one of the most efficient distributors of financial services and to create value on a very large scale.

MAS aims to be one of the most efficient distributors of financial services. Efficiency refers to the extent to which time, effort, and cost are used effectively for the intended purpose. It means making optimum use of available resources to generate the highest possible productivity. We firmly believe that even the largest company can collapse if it is not efficiency-conscious, and even the smallest company can become a powerhouse if it focuses on improving efficiency.

MAS continuously strives for optimum efficiency in all its activities. In the years to come, we envision MAS and the process of financial service distribution at MAS becoming a benchmark for the industry. We aim not only to set standards for others but also to raise our own standards regularly, continually challenging ourselves. This is our vision.

MAS also aims to create value on a very large scale.

Every business should primarily focus on increasing value for all its stakeholders. From time to time, a company must adopt and adapt business models that help it achieve this essential goal of creating large-scale value.

MAS currently focuses on the vast lower-income and middle-income groups across urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, including individuals from both the formal and informal sectors. Our business model, extensive experience, and strong distribution network place us in a unique position in the industry.

Having defined a clear vision, it is essential to translate it into a mission, a guiding principle that directs how the organization and its employees will work to achieve the vision. The mission statement outlines the practical steps the organization and its employees will take to turn the vision into reality.

Our Mission

To be one of the most efficient distributors of financial services and to create value on a very large scale.

Strive for continuous excellence in all endeavours.

At MAS, "Endeavor" signifies our relentless pursuit of excellence. We believe that excellence is an ongoing journey, not a destination. It's a habit that we continuously cultivate across our organization. We work diligently to ensure this mindset permeates every level, from our employees to our customers, fostering a culture of unwavering commitment to quality in everything we do.

Develop an expansive and robust distribution network.

MAS firmly believes in the "Power of Distribution", using it to expand its network and achieve its vision. By combining "Excellence through Endeavor" with strategic distribution, the company is committed to becoming the most efficient distributor of financial services.

Act as a driving force in delivering effective financial services, advancing our vision of financial inclusion.

In the financial services ecosystem, intermediaries like banks, NBFCs, and HFCs are crucial for efficient resource utilization. At MAS, we continuously strive to be a responsible and efficient intermediary, dedicated to realizing our vision.
