A mid-sized company in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector, experiencing rapid growth and exploring cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous agentic apps, generative AI, and supply chain APIs to maintain a competitive edge. The company faces the challenge of balancing innovation with stringent security and privacy measures in a highly regulated environment.
