BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW|

Product & Digital Engineering Services (PDES)

In FY 2023-24, Happiest Minds underwent a major transformative change by integrating its two largest business units to create greater synergies and customer value. The integrated business unit, known as Product & Digital Engineering Services (PDES), is primed to drive product innovation and large scale digital transformation programs for customers across our chosen industry groups.

Another significant change this year is the establishment of dedicated Industry Groups (IGs) intended to bring about greater vertical focus and expertise, enabling the identification and resolution of the most unique challenges across industries. The Product & Digital Engineering Services business unit will oversee these 6 industry groups, which include:

Banking, Financial Services & Insurance
EdTech
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Hi-Tech and Media & Entertainment
Industrial, Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities
Retail, CPG & Logistics

The growth of each Industry Group (IG) will be led by an IG Head possessing a profound understanding of their industry and extensive knowledge of leveraging digital technologies to enhance business value for customers. The IG Heads will be responsible for managing the P&L and conceptualizing digital solutions, including Gen-AI, to assist our customers in developing products, platforms, and experiences that are future-ready.

These two strategic changes complement our roadmap of creating and delivering greater value to our customers, enabling them to directly benefit from our Digital DNA, Domain Capabilities, and Disruption by Design approach. The combined value we deliver through this approach is effectively highlighted in our D3 Value Delivery Flywheel.

BFSI: Transforming a Cloud-lending Platform for an US-based Lending Firm

Business challenge The client faced issues with a high volume of loan applications, adversely impacting conversion rates. Additionally, inefficiencies and scalability issues arose as loan origination and payment processes were not automated.

Solution We employed a consulting-driven approach to conduct business and technical analysis, to enhance and automate business processes and batch processing. Leveraging our deep understanding of the lending industry, we assisted the client in implementing and migrating business processes to the Salesforce cloud lending platform. We automated loan scoring, origination, debit card payment processing, and ACH batch processing while enhancing the web portal for online payments.

Impacts

Automation in origination and credit scoring resulted in increased application conversion rates with an average of more than 10,000 applications being processed. Automation of payment processing resulted in scaling up the processing volume by 50x. Service Cloud Implementation yielded 30% performance improvements in the nightly jobs while Live Chat Implementation helped reduce the Instant Bank Verification dropouts.
