About

“Let’s go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.” – Steve Jobs With 27 years in BFSI technology across India, USA, UK, Singapore and Thailand, I’ve steered programmes that redefined how banks engage clients, manage data, and deliver compliance. My career began with coding for Sony TV and 300+ media agencies but quickly evolved into building AI-driven platforms for some of the world’s largest financial institutions. At Wells Fargo, I’ve championed next-gen AI use cases that boosted operational efficiency by 50% for 100K+ cases annually, while lifting developer efficiency by 18% in the face of attrition. Before that, at Bank of America, I built the foundations of digital modernisation — launching a global CRM platform adopted by 5K+ bankers, delivering $9M in savings through infrastructure transformation, and enabling $100M programmes in regulatory analytics and client data integration. From standing up a 100+ engineer tech hub at GIFT City to governing delivery ecosystems of 200+ associates, I believe the next wave of BFSI technology belongs to leaders who can combine AI-first thinking with global delivery excellence. That’s the journey I continue to build, one platform and one team at a time. 📩 Reach me at: arpan76@gmail.com
