In this interview, Srini shares his thoughts on leadership, modernizing legacy systems, and the role AI plays in reshaping customer experiences in banking, payments, and fintech industries.
Question 1: Can you share your journey from Wipro to becoming the CEO of Opus Technologies and how you approached the transition into this leadership role?
Stepping into the role of CEO at Opus Technologies has been both an exciting opportunity and a meaningful milestone in my career.
As a member of the Executive Council at Wipro, I had the privilege of contributing to strategic decisions that span industries and geographies. I also led initiatives that leveraged advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital solutions, to address complex business challenges.
These experiences sharpened my ability to align innovation with business outcomes and shaped my leadership philosophy.
What drew me to Opus was its strong legacy and proven track record in financial technology. Two of the group's companies were acquired by Fortune 500 organizations in the past, demonstrating the enduring value Opus delivers to the industry.
My focus has been on building on this foundation while driving innovation and ensuring we continue solving challenges for our clients.
My approach to the transition was to immerse myself in understanding the company's strengths and identifying areas where we could expand our impact.
Question 2: How is Opus Technologies helping financial institutions and fintech companies modernize their systems?
At Opus Technologies, we bring close to three decades of deep domain expertise to help financial institutions and fintech companies navigate the complexities of modernization.
The financial technology landscape demands agility, and many organizations struggle with legacy systems that limit their ability to innovate. We address this by providing practical, scalable solutions tailored to their unique challenges.
Our platforms, such as
These tools empower our clients to modernize their systems and stay ahead in a highly competitive market.
Modernization is not just about upgrading technology; it is about creating sustainable systems that adapt to evolving business needs. At Opus, we focus on delivering value that ensures our clients are equipped to succeed today and in the future.
Question 3: How do you see AI reshaping the financial industry, and how is Opus Technologies driving these advancements?
I believe AI is fundamentally reshaping the financial industry. It is changing how organizations approach decision-making, risk management, and customer engagement.
AI's ability to process vast amounts of data in real time and deliver actionable insights has created opportunities to improve fraud detection, automate operations, and provide personalized services.
For me, what stands out most is how AI enables organizations to shift from being reactive to proactive in their strategies.
We are focused on helping financial institutions embrace this transformation. With FinGeniusAI, we enable our clients to enhance fraud detection, streamline complex processes, and make intelligent, data-driven decisions.
My goal is to ensure that we make AI adoption seamless and accessible. Many organizations face barriers to implementing AI, and I see our role as a partner in helping them overcome those challenges and fully realize their potential to drive meaningful results.
Question 4: What principles guide your leadership at Opus Technologies, and how do they shape your vision for the financial industry?
I focus on building trust, fostering clarity, and ensuring accountability. One of the principles I rely on is maintaining a strong "Say-Do Ratio." It is about consistently delivering on commitments, which builds confidence and sets the foundation for effective collaboration. When teams trust that goals will be met, it creates an environment where innovation thrives.
Clarity is also essential. People need to understand the bigger picture and how their work contributes to it. I prioritize aligning our efforts with the mission of empowering financial institutions to tackle real-world challenges with innovative solutions.
My vision is to help organizations modernize while maintaining the reliability their customers expect. By emphasizing trust, alignment, and practical solutions, I aim to lead Opus in delivering impactful outcomes for our clients.
Question 5: How do you help clients embrace innovation and adopt AI-driven solutions effectively?
In my experience, adopting AI is one of the most transformative steps an organization can take, but it comes with significant challenges. The complexity of integrating AI into legacy systems, coupled with fragmented data and resistance to change, often holds businesses back.
I have seen firsthand that success in implementing AI requires a combination of the right tools, a clear strategy, and hands-on support to bridge these gaps.
In 2023, banks and financial institutions faced a staggering
