Client Intro

Nippon India is one of the country’s largest and most trusted Asset Management Companies (AMCs), committed to making mutual fund investments accessible across all regions.

As mutual fund penetration deepened across India, Nippon aimed to streamline how it recruited and managed Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs), especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. They needed a solution that could scale with market growth while replacing inefficient manual processes.

The Need for Innovation


01
Rising Mutual Fund Adoption in India

India saw a 5X increase in mutual fund investors between 2016–2023, driven by fintech access and AMFI campaigns.

02
Tier 2–3 Market Penetration Gaps

Traditional distributor systems struggled to scale in non-metro markets, slowing reach and adoption.

03
Lack of Real-Time Distributor Visibility

Without real-time metrics, monitoring trial activity, broker performance, and ARN-linked transactions was difficult.

What we Built

As Nippon’s tech partner, we developed a custom MFD management platform built for large-scale distributor onboarding, trial monitoring, and performance tracking.

We introduced modules for managing trials, automating brokerage payouts, and overseeing unique ARN-based transactions—all in a central, web-based system.

Using microservices architecture, we ensured the platform could handle growing distributor volumes while enabling real-time insights across distributed teams.
