Mehul Dani: How has your company benefited from implementing digital strategy in 2022-23? What are the changes for customers?
Riyaz Ladiwala: 2022 was a year of impactful moments in our technology journey. Following PAG's acquisition of a majority stake in Nuvama Group (previously known as Edelweiss Wealth Management), we took an initiative called 'Project Plutus' to establish a dedicated IT organization for Nuvama, to enable us to operate independently without any dependencies on group companies for technology infrastructure & network, enterprise applications, cyber security, and workplace services. Throughout this journey, we embarked on a range of initiatives that were critical to our success.
◆We set up a dedicated team, finalized partners, and operating model.
◆ We setup our new data centre and DR site and adopted a multi-cloud strategy (AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud) to leverage the latest technologies and innovations and deliver world-class IT solutions.
◆We migrated over 900 servers, 330 applications and 3800 users seamlessly without any disruption to our operations.
◆ We took over IT operations from the group company's technology team and brought in a managed services partner to facilitate the transition.
