Co-founded by Rohit Maroo and Satish Krishnaswamy, both ex-bankers (HDFC Bank), GRAVITY promises to unleash an era of hyper-personalisation in banking space. GRAVITY as a platform is a category first in banking industry. GRAVITY makes all the underlying software applications of the bank inter-operable, thereby bringing in tech ecosystem simplicity/adaptability also doubling up as an efficiency multiplier. GRAVITY has a central processing platform (CPP), which will heavy lift most of the ALU (Arithmetic logic unit) and COU (Control and orchestration unit) of any and all of the underlying applications of the bank. GRAVITY comes equipped with an expansion slot (category first) that comes pre-embedded with 10 futuristic components that will ensure that the bank’s underlying tech always remains latest, safest and fastest.
Maroo confirms that there is an early excitement amongst bankers for GRAVITY, which essentially ensures that once the underlying software applications (CBS/LMS/Payments/Others) are docked in GRAVITY, banks will have to never overhaul their underlying technology, and there will never be a painful replacement process of any of the speciality core applications.
Krishnaswamy confirms that his team is humbled by the opportunity to build a category first business platform and also by the initial support of senior banking and technology leaders.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Pravir Vohra a seasoned banking technology leader, ex-President and Group CTO of ICICI bank, who also mentors start-ups, believes that GRAVITY could well turn out to be a very disruptive platform. He feels GRAVITY is trying to solve a critical banking tech ecosystem problem and could, potentially, help banks modernise their systems without expensive, risky and time-consuming forklifts or upgrades.
