LIC-owned stock: Shares of Paisalo Digital snapped their three-day winning run on Friday, July 25, even as Equilibrated Venture CFlow acquired a stake in the company.
The selloff in the Indian stock market and profit booking after a stellar run over the last few days likely promoted a decline in the small-cap stock, which is part of Life Insurance Corporation of India’s (LIC) portfolio.
According to a filing shared by Paisalo Digital, the Delhi-based venture capitalist Equilibrated Venture CFlow acquired 74,70,000 shares of the company via the open market, representing a 0.82% stake. The stake was acquired by the company on July 24 and July 25, as per the filing.
With this, Equilibrated Venture CFlow’s stake in the LIC-owned NBFC stock rose to 16.50% from 15.67% earlier.
According to the latest shareholding pattern filed by the company earlier this month, LIC owns a 1.12% stake or 77,59,511 shares. Another PSU life insurer, SBI Life Insurance, holds an 8.96% stake.

The small-cap NBFC stock also remained in focus this entire week following the announcement of its Q1 results for FY26 and the dividend record date.

Additionally, on Monday this week, Paisalo Digital posted a 13.5% year-on-year jump in its net profit to ₹47 crore for the first quarter of FY26, as against ₹41.5 crore in the same period last year.
