In October 2020, LIC HFL launched the Project RED initiative to transform its operations and improve efficiencies across the organization. Encompassing all its stakeholders including customers, employees, business associates and shareholders, Project RED initiative is expected to focus on adopting world-class technologies, strengthening the company’s operational processes and deepening customer engagement for driving value. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is the consultant to LIC Housing Finance for the Project RED programme.
“LIC Housing Finance is at the cross roads of its next phase of expansion and growth, and Project RED is a catalyst in making this journey a successful one,” said Sri Tribhuwan Adhikari, MD & CEO, LIC Housing Finance Ltd. “By implementing a next-generation, technology agnostic and scalable lending platform, we will be well placed to effectively meet the dynamic market needs, evolving digital consumer paradigm, and regulatory and compliance needs and help us deliver enhanced value for our customers.”
The new lending platform is based on a unique concept of functional factories and business process driven execution engines that will deliver the required modularity, flexibility and componentisation. The technology agnostic system with future proof architecture will provide LIC HFL high level of configurability to accelerate time to market, enable quick workflow reconfiguration to streamline operations for efficiency, flexibility and transparency, meet internal compliance and risk management needs, and would include a repository of third-party APIs for delivery of differentiated customer experiences.
