Vendor management and customer experience modernisation for Indian banks

In India’s diverse and rapidly evolving banking landscape, institutions are at a critical inflection point. Operational resilience, regulatory compliance and customer experience are converging into a single strategic mandate that requires banks to connect leadership decision-making, technology investments and execution across functions, partners and geographies.

Vendor ecosystems now play a decisive role in shaping customer outcomes, regulatory posture and cost efficiency. IT service providers, fintech partners, BPOs and field service agencies are deeply embedded in day-to-day operations and customer journeys. However, when vendor management and customer experience are managed as separate capabilities, banks commonly experience the following challenges:

• Fragmented governance and limited end-to-end visibility
• Inconsistent service delivery across customer touchpoints
• Elevated third-party, operational and compliance risk
  
  

From a CXO perspective, modernisation is no longer about incremental digitisation. It requires establishing an integrated and cloud-based operating model that enables:

• End-to-end visibility across vendor onboarding, performance and risk
• Consistent and data-driven management of customer experience
• Strong alignment between regulatory requirements and operational execution

Banks that lead the next phase of transformation will be those whose CXOs act with urgency, align technology strategy with regulatory reality, and invest in a unified, AI powered ERP and CX foundation.
