Enabling a Transaction Platform for Wealth Customers for a Global Wealth Management Leader in India

One of the largest multinational wealth management firms operating in India, serving institutional, HNI, and affluent clients across advisory and execution-led models.

The firm planned to launch a transaction platform for wealth customers in India, spanning multiple digital and internal platforms. Given the regulatory sensitivity of transaction-led products in India, the initiative required: 

• End-to-end regulatory and product compliance
• Thoughtful integration across existing and proposed technology partners
• Alignment between client experience, RM workflows, and internal reporting
• Close coordination with regulators, compliance, audit, and technology teams

The firm engaged The Elevate to provide specialist consulting expertise to support the design, decision-making, and regulatory enablement required for a successful platform launch.

The Elevate partnered with the client as a strategic advisor within a structured consulting framework, focusing on readiness, compliance, and execution clarity.

The transaction platform for wealth customers was designed to be delivered across three platforms:

• Client-facing mobile applications (iOS and Android – mobile and tablet)
• Client-facing web-based transaction portal
• RM-facing web admin and internal portals to support transactions, reporting, and oversight for both clients and internal stakeholders

Scope of Work & Key Contributions

  Supported the wealth firm in ensuring regulatory and product compliance for the launch of the transaction platform for wealth customers across:
  • Client-facing mobile applications

  • RM-facing web admin platforms
  • This included mapping regulatory expectations, identifying gaps, and aligning platform features with approved transaction and reporting requirements.

• Integration & Implementation Advisory

• Regulatory Approval Support
  • Enabled the firm in preparing for regulatory requisitions related to the transaction platform for wealth customers
  • Supported limited testing (to the extent permitted by exchanges and regulators)

• Stakeholder & Governance Coordination

The engagement helped the client:
