From 14 Days to 10 Minutes: Rescuing a 13,000-Branch Banking Merger

When one of India's largest banking mergers collapsed under manual processes, they were losing $2M weekly. Here's how I turned it around.

The Crisis

Post-Merger Paralysis

Two major banks merged, creating a 13,000-branch network overnight. The loan approval system ground to a halt—manual workflows meant 14-day delays. Branch managers were fielding angry calls daily. Revenue was bleeding at $2M per week.

My Intervention

Systematic Rescue

  • Week 1: Process audit revealed 47 redundant approval steps and conflicting system logic
  • Week 2-3: Rewrote business requirements—single source of truth for all teams
  • Week 4-6: Directed UAT across 200 branches, catching 89 edge cases pre-launch
  • Week 7: Orchestrated cutover with zero downtime during peak hours
The Result

Velocity Restored

The transformation exceeded every KPI. What was a crisis became a competitive advantage. The unified system now processes more loans daily than both legacy systems combined.

What's Your Stalled Project Costing?

Most teams underestimate the true cost of delays. Let's find out.

Project Rescue & Agile Delivery

I fix what's broken. Then I make sure it stays fixed.

I untangle conflicting requirements, create clarity from chaos, and get stakeholders aligned so development can actually move forward.

  • Stakeholder interviews & alignment
  • Requirements documentation overhaul
  • Gap analysis & priority mapping
  • Acceptance criteria definition

Agile Delivery Optimization

Sprint velocity tanking? Ceremonies feel pointless? I diagnose the dysfunction and restore predictable, sustainable delivery.

  • Sprint health assessment
  • Backlog refinement & prioritization
  • Blocker identification & removal
  • Team coaching & facilitation
  • Velocity tracking & forecasting

Process Architecture

A Systematic Approach to Restoring Momentum

No magic. No hype. Just a proven method that works.

I align stakeholders, set priorities, remove blockers, and get everyone moving in the same direction.

What You Need to Know

No. I'm the person who makes sure developers build the right thing, the right way, on time. I bridge business and technology—translating stakeholder needs into clear requirements, unblocking teams, and making sure delivery actually happens. Think of me as the person who prevents expensive rework and keeps your project moving.
Most start with a focused 2-4 week diagnostic sprint. I assess the situation, identify root causes, and deliver actionable recommendations. From there, many engagements extend into implementation support—anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on scope. Book a discovery call to discuss your specific situation.
Usually within 48-72 hours of agreement. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can respond when projects are on fire. Book a discovery call and I'll confirm current availability.
Complexity is often the symptom, not the disease. The 13,000-branch banking merger seemed impossibly complex until we mapped it properly. I've yet to encounter a project that couldn't be broken down into manageable pieces with the right approach. Let's talk about yours.
Yes. I work with teams across North America remotely. For critical phases or kickoffs, I can travel to Toronto/GTA or arrange on-site visits as needed. Most of my work is designed for effective remote collaboration—structured communication, thorough documentation, and video sessions as needed.
Absolutely. I'm not here to replace anyone. I work alongside your teams, PMs, developers, and vendors to get everyone aligned and moving. Often the issue isn't the people—it's the process or communication gaps between them.
In 8+ years, I've maintained 100% retention. But if we're not the right fit, we'll know within the first week. I'd rather part ways early than waste your time and money. No hard feelings, no drama. Let's see if we're a fit.
Seriously. I've worked with regulated financial institutions handling sensitive customer data. NDAs are standard. Names and project details are never shared without explicit permission. The case studies you see here have been approved or anonymized.
