IT Cost Optimization & P&L Shielding

This engagement addressed a critical issue at a Tier-1 Retail Bank where IT asset spend was growing at 2x the rate of revenue, threatening retail segment margins.

We directed a strategic sourcing and capacity management initiative that fundamentally changed how the bank approached IT procurement. This included introducing "alternate device" standards for handhelds and tablets, and streamlining the procurement lifecycle.

The initiative unlocked INR 9 Cr ($1M+) in savings over a 3-year horizon through rigorous demand-side management while maintaining service quality and security standards.
