Mumbai: Edelweiss Asset Management Company Ltd. (Edelweiss AMC) has advanced its digital journey through a large-scale AI Transformation powered by Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud. The initiative has streamlined operations, improved investor services, and cut data warehousing costs by 50%.

By partnering with NuSummit and deploying Snowflake’s cloud-native infrastructure, Edelweiss AMC integrated fragmented databases into a single data ecosystem.

This modernization has accelerated Net Asset Value (NAV) and benchmark reporting, reduced compliance complexity, and provided real-time access to structured and governed data across departments including finance, risk, compliance, sales, and client servicing.

Operational Efficiency and Cost Optimization

With Snowflake’s query optimization and parallel processing, Edelweiss AMC reduced end-of-day processing from 8 hours to less than 2 hours, while management information system (MIS) reports are now available five hours earlier than before. Beginning-of-day reconciliations are also faster, ensuring smoother workflows.

Snowflake’s pay-as-you-use model has significantly optimized storage and computing resources, resulting in a 50% reduction in data warehousing expenses. Its compute-storage separation ensures high system responsiveness during peak loads, further strengthening innovation capacity.

The AI Data Cloud supports Edelweiss AMC with advanced governance and security. Features such as governed data sharing, IP-based access controls, and column-level encryption using company-managed keys safeguard sensitive personal and financial data. This framework ensures compliance with stringent domestic and global regulatory requirements while minimizing operational risks.
