🟢 War Story 1: Credit Decisioning + GenAI Augmentation

Problem

• Legacy credit model plateaued (AUC ~0.72)

• High manual review effort

• Poor handling of unstructured documents

What We Did

• Retained core statistical credit model

• Used GenAI + NLP to extract features from:

  • Bank statements

  • Income proofs

  • Employer letters

• Fed structured outputs into the risk model

• Added explainability + audit trail

Metrics

• AUC improved 0.72 → 0.76 (+5–6%)

• Approval rate @ same risk: +6–7%

• Bad-rate reduction: ~0.4%

• Manual review reduced: ~25%

• Daily decisions: ~1.1M

Why It’s Credible

GenAI supported the model — it didn’t replace regulated decision logic.

🟢 War Story 2: Enterprise GenAI RAG for Ops & Compliance

Problem

• Ops teams searching across 1000s of policies

• High dependency on SMEs

• Risk of inconsistent answers

What We Did

• Built enterprise RAG platform

• Integrated policy docs, SOPs, circulars

• Enforced grounding + citations

• Added human-in-loop for sensitive queries

Metrics

• Inferences/day: 1.8M

• Grounded answers: ~95%

• Hallucination rate: <1%

• Human escalation: ~12%

• Productivity uplift: ~28%

• Uptime: 99.98%

Why It Scaled

Central platform, not tool-by-tool deployment.

🟢 War Story 3: AI Cost Control at Scale (FinOps)

Problem

• AI spend growing unpredictably

• Overuse of large LLMs

• CFO concern

What We Did

• Model tiering (small → medium → large)

• Semantic caching (TTL-based)

• Prompt compression

• Cost dashboards per BU

Metrics

• Cost per inference: ₹3.8 → ₹1.9

• Cache hit ratio: ~40%

• Tier-1 model usage: ~70%

• Monthly spend variance: <8%

• YoY AI cost reduction: ~42%

Why Leadership Trusted It

Cost became predictable, explainable, and governable.

🏛 2️⃣ HOW REGULATORS / RISK TEAMS REACTED

This is exactly what senior panels want to hear.

Initial Regulator / Risk Concerns

• “Is GenAI making decisions?”

• “How do you explain outcomes?”

• “What about bias and hallucinations?”

Our Positioning (KEY)

“GenAI is decision-support, not decision-making, in regulated flows.”

Controls We Demonstrated

• 100% explainability on final decisions

• Bias metrics within thresholds

• Full audit logs

• Human override for edge cases

• No customer data used for model training

Outcome

• No critical audit findings

• Risk sign-off for scale

• Approved expansion to additional use cases

Power Line

“Once we showed GenAI was wrapped with the same controls as any Tier-1 system, risk teams became partners instead of blockers.”

Q1. “What AI metrics gave stakeholders confidence?”

Answer

“We tracked AI across five dimensions: business impact, model quality, fairness, reliability, and cost.At scale, we were running ~1–2M inferences/day with AUC in the mid-0.7s, hallucination below 1.5%, zero PII incidents, 99.98% uptime, and AI cost per inference under ₹3.”

Q2. “What was your model accuracy?”

Answer

“Accuracy isn’t meaningful in credit due to imbalance. At the operating threshold, accuracy was ~80–85%, but the key improvement was AUC from ~0.72 to ~0.76–0.79, which translated into higher approvals and lower defaults.”

Q3. “How did you ensure fairness?”

Answer

“We tracked adverse impact ratios between 0.85–1.15, kept false-negative gaps under 5–7%, and enforced calibration parity. Any breach triggered rollback or human override.”

Q4. “GenAI hallucination risk?”

Answer

“We reduced hallucination by enforcing RAG grounding, citations, and fallback rules. Hallucination stayed under 1–1.5%, and sensitive queries always required human validation.”

Q5. “What differentiates your GenAI leadership?”

Answer

“I focus on industrializing AI — platforms, metrics, governance, and cost control — not running pilots. That’s what allows safe scale in regulated environments.”

🟢 Story 1: Enterprise Credit & Risk AI at Scale

Context

“Our credit decisioning had plateaued, with AUC around 0.72, and heavy manual review due to unstructured documents. Risk teams were cautious about introducing GenAI into regulated decision flows.”

Action

“We retained the core statistical credit model and used GenAI strictly as a decision-support layer. GenAI extracted structured features from bank statements and income documents, which were fed into the existing model. We added explainability, bias checks, and full audit trails.”

Metrics

“At scale, we processed ~1.1M decisions per day. AUC improved from ~0.72 to ~0.76, approvals increased 6–7% at the same risk, bad rates dropped by ~0.4%, and manual review effort reduced ~25%.”

Leadership Takeaway

“By positioning GenAI as augmentation, not replacement, we gained regulator and risk confidence and scaled safely.”

🟢 Story 2: GenAI RAG Platform for Banking Operations

Context

“Operations and compliance teams were spending significant time searching across policies and circulars, with inconsistent answers and high SME dependency.”

Action

“We built a centralized enterprise RAG platform with strict grounding, citations, and human-in-the-loop for sensitive queries. This became a shared AI capability across business units.”

Metrics

“The platform handled ~1.8M inferences per day with ~95% grounded responses, hallucination under 1%, ~12% human escalation, 28% productivity uplift, and 99.98% uptime.”

Leadership Takeaway

“Treating GenAI as a platform—not a tool—enabled scale, consistency, and trust.”

🟢 Story 3: AI Cost Control & FinOps Leadership

Context

“As GenAI adoption grew, AI costs became unpredictable, which triggered CFO and board concerns.”

Action

“We introduced model tiering, semantic caching, prompt optimization, and real-time AI cost dashboards per business unit.”

Metrics

“Cost per inference reduced from ~₹3.8 to ~₹1.9, cache hit ratio reached ~40%, tier-1 models handled ~70% of requests, spend variance stayed under 8%, and overall AI costs reduced ~42% year-on-year.”

Leadership Takeaway

“Cost discipline made GenAI financially sustainable and board-approved.”

🟢 Story 4: Regulator & Risk Confidence in GenAI

Context

“Risk and compliance teams were concerned about bias, hallucinations, and explainability.”

Action

“We enforced fairness thresholds, explainability coverage, audit logging, and human override for all sensitive decisions.”

Metrics

“Adverse impact ratios stayed between 0.85–1.15, false-negative gaps under 5–7%, hallucination under 1.5%, and zero PII leakage or critical audit findings.”

Leadership Takeaway

“Once controls matched Tier-1 systems, regulators became partners instead of blockers.”

🧠 Summary

“At banking scale, we ran AI processing 1–2 million requests per day with mid-0.7 AUC, sub-1.5% hallucination, zero compliance incidents, 99.98% uptime, and predictable AI costs under ₹3 per inference. That’s when AI moved from experimentation to enterprise capability.”
