3. Since the financial crisis in 2008, Regulators
attempts to bring in more transparency and
stability into the Financial markets is throwing
challenges, including new capital and liquidity
regimes, heightened reporting requirements and
new investor protection provisions for Market
infrastructure companies.
Dwindling revenues and operating margins are further forcing firms to
redefine their current business processes and adopt new technologies
to drive efficiencies. Investment banks were early adopters of digital
technology in their front office operations, unfortunately the same level
of emphasis is not sustained for back and middle office operations,
which has led to an increase in operation costs. In the shifting market
dynamics, firms need to prioritize their IT investments and ramp up
automation efforts to stay relevant in the market.
Capital Market firms should strive to be a client centric and data driven
organisation. They need to build collaborative ecosystems that help
reduce investment banks’ structural costs and enable enhanced
regulatory compliance and better service to customers. Market
infrastructure companies need to make significant investments in
technologies like RPA (Robotic Process Automation), Bigdata and Cloud
as they could significantly improve the quality of interactions with
customers by proving relevant insights and drive efficiency in the
Internal operations. Partnering with RegTechs to transform the
compliance functions could also bring in significant cost advantages.
How will digital transformation impact growth?

27. Recommendations
Digital transformation in Capital Markets
i.
ii.
Leverage RPA tools to automate manual processes that exist within trade
settlement, Collateral management and other post trade operations to
drive efficiency in internal operations.
Collaborate with RegTech startups that automate routine compliance
obligations, enhance efficiencies and help reduce the cost of regulatory
processes.
Develop solutions that utilize technologies like advanced analytics and AI
that mine structured and unstructured data to make predictions at the
point of trade.
Leverage Cloud based formal verification platforms that allow financial
engineers to automatically reason complex trading algorithms before
deploying them in actual production systems.
Blockchain has clear potential to be game changers further down the line.
So, companies should actively engage in proofs of concept projects of
Blockchain to determine the use cases that are most viable, although it will
take a few more years to fully come to fruition.

29. INTRODUCTION
GrowthEnabler uses its proprietary research methodologies to
analyse the business impact of disruptive technologies and digital
innovations on the future growth of large corporations and their
industries. GrowthEnabler applies its deep-data analysis tools,
scoring logic and algorithms to create intelligence that enables
senior executives to make informed business growth decisions.
The GrowthEnabler Personalised Intelligence Interface (Pii) is an
interactive platform that provides corporates the ability to Find,
Select, Connect and Manage global Startups based on their
business priorities and problems.
1. MARKET ANALYSIS
To create and report leading technology-related market trends
and industry analysis with a focus on industry sub-sectors, real-life
implementations, industry and market landscapes and competitor
dynamics, GrowthEnabler analyses large sets of data and
information aggregated from various private and public sources,
including online databases, market reports, online surveys,
journals, and in-depth phone interviews.
To further enrich the efficacy of analysis, GrowthEnabler undertakes
formal and informal interviews and RFI’s and surveys with key
decision makers and executives in corporates, as well as founders
and owners of Startups. Following this exercise, large volumes of
data is categorised and curated, based on, industry and market
drivers, risks, opportunities and challenges specific to an industry
vertical or technology area, and then injected into a pre-configured
regression model to forecast and predict market movements and
trends.
2. STARTUP TECHNOLOGY LANDSCAPE
& ANALYSIS
The Startup eco-system is built using an exhaustive primary and
secondary research analysis model, led by dedicated team of tech
analysts and subject matter experts (SMEs), who also use Machine
Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies for
data mining and curation.
Primary Research – The Primary research data is sourced
directly from GrowthEnabler Market Surveys, RFI’s with
Startups, One-on-One Interviews, Calls and Product briefings,
including Startup and Client Registration Information available
on the GrowthEnabler Pii platform.
Secondary Research – A team of Machine Learning and NLP
experts scan thousands of private and public data sources
using data scraping and crawling methods to extract relevant
secondary data, which is then validated and verified using
GrowthEnabler automated data-cleansing methods,industry
and technology segmentation taxonomies and mapping
protocols and core intelligence from pre-populated Startup
profiles and reviews.
Analyst Validation – A team of Analysts and Subject Matter
