Case Study
Transforming India’s leading non-banking financial company (NBFC) from branch operations to fully digital
THE CLIENT
- Indian multinational conglomerate headquartered in Kochi, Kerala.
- 5330+ branches in 29 states in India
- Presence in Nepal, Sri Lanka, US, UK, and UAE
- 40,000+ employees
CHALLENGE
Scalability and poor security
The client is a fast-growing business looking to expand operations into thousands of cities and towns in India while ensuring their IT systems remain highly secured. To accomplish this and improve the user experience, the client needed to reduce its reliance on branch-based operations.
In addition, legacy technology and operations meant it took an enormous amount of time to set up new branches, which would have poor network connectivity and data security issues. At some bank branches in India, poor connectivity could delay the turnaround on orders to take as long as 68 days.
It would require a digital transformation to their operations to create the customer experience they aspired to provide.
TRANSFORMATION
Modernizing IT operations
UST built a digital, cloud-based architecture that the client named Digital Blue that also translated into a vastly improved customer experience for the millions who depend on the client’s financial services.
UST’s solution revolutionized the client’s IT infrastructure through managed IT support including the provisioning and management of IT infrastructure across the following Service Towers:
- Datacenter consolidation & asset management

- Migrating all applications to on-prem cloud
- VDI for all branches connected through SD WAN
- Command and control center through an integrated delivery model
- Service desk & end-user management

This collaboration between UST and the client is a standout example of a modern IT infrastructure driving a scalable and sustainable digital operating model.
IMPACT
