💼 FinTech Case Study

How We Delivered 200% User Engagement Growth for a FinTech Platform

Complete platform rebuild, AWS migration, and performance optimization resulting in industry-leading metrics and ₹2.1Cr certified valuation

The Challenge

A promising platform on the brink of collapse

The client's financial analytics platform was experiencing critical issues that threatened its survival:

Platform Instability

The legacy codebase, built hastily during their MVP phase, was causing frequent crashes. Users reported data inconsistencies and calculation errors—catastrophic for a financial platform. Server downtime averaged 8-12 hours per month.

Severe Performance Issues

90-second load times were driving high-value users to competitors. The database architecture couldn't scale beyond 5,000 concurrent users. Complex financial calculations would timeout, leaving users frustrated.

Revenue Loss

65% bounce rate was costing thousands in daily revenue. Premium subscription churn hit 45% monthly. Competitors were winning deals simply by offering stable platforms.

No Documented Asset Value

Investors were questioning their technology valuation during Series A discussions. The platform had significant IP but no certified documentation of its worth for due diligence.

The Bottom Line:

Without dramatic intervention, the platform would lose market share irreversibly within 6 months. They needed both technical salvation and financial credibility.

The Solution

A complete rebuild combining technical excellence with financial certification
