Major Challenges

Data Availability Ensuring the data is available in real or near real-time for consumption by downstream application is essential for the success of projects like Risk Mart Offer Generation. This involves moving, cleansing, and sorting over 100cr records per day across the entire eco-system.

Data Quality New Data Availability BFL is a growing eco-system where new source of data is acquired by the organization frequently. This raises the need of the organization to consolidate this information in a meaningful manner and also have the capability to sanitize and cleans this information before consumption.

Due to the inherent silos created in the organization, each independent Risk Unit prepares their own data. With the organization growing exponentially over the past few years, it has become imperative to avoid duplication and ensure standardization of variable definitions across all risk units to ensure parity common knowledge base.

AI on BI Compute power in current infra for real time insights. Identification of all variables that have an effect on the causality of KPI movement and to execute the compute on such a huge database
