Technologies Used
Business Requirement
As a digital-first company, Nuvama was an early adopter of technology that provided an easy trading experience through its broking website. But the website was built upon legacy technologies that were fast becoming obsolete. The legacy platform posed significant problems like

A slow and inefficient trading experience
Older technologies posed problems like slower web application loading, irresponsive widgets, screen freezing, lack of browser support, and so on. Overall this negatively affected the trading experience significantly

Delayed server response time delaying demat transactions
Legacy servers used heavy-weight processes to handle user transactions. This resulted in heavy consumption of system resources and translated to higher infrastructure costs

Platform inefficiencies holding back future developments
Most of these legacy systems were no longer compatible with the latest software libraries in the market. Consequently, the system could not exploit the capabilities on end-user devices

Security concerns with legacy technologies
Significant concerns had started to emerge around the security limitations of older technologies. Safeguarding the sensitive financial data of customers was a top priority for Nuvama

A cumbersome customer onboarding experience
The lack of inbuilt identity verification hampered customer onboarding. Customers had to go through multiple forms and submission before onboarding on the platform.

Unplanned system downtime
Unpredictable bugs in legacy code caused unplanned system downtime that impacted the business and negatively impacted ROI

Expensive system maintenance
Any addition or upgrades to the existing system was time-consuming and expensive. Further, there was a lack of skilled force in the market that could handle older technologies
With customer demand growing to thousands of financial transactions each day, Nuvama sought to build a modern trading platform that could scale exponentially and integrate with modern digital markets like the internet, desktop, and mobile.
