Aditya Tayade — capital markets platform business analyst

I find out what the business meant. Then I make sure it’s delivered.

Ten years on bank platform teams, first with the vendor and then with a bank, helping people get what they need from the platform they’ve bought. Structured products, equity derivatives, fixed income and FX.

Three problems I help with

  • We bought the platform. We can’t tell if it does what we need.Fit-gap with the business and the vendor, so every gap has an answer.
  • It works in the vendor’s demo. It doesn’t fit our bank.Integration and trade lifecycle design into the bank’s systems, with its IT and the vendor’s engineers.
  • Delivery has stalled. UAT is failing and nobody can sign off.Traceability, SIT and UAT with the client’s testers, and release criteria the business accepts.

One engagement, up close

A fixed income OMS for a Tier-1 bank in Mexico, on the bank’s side. Eighteen months, fully remote from Dubai on Mexico City hours, seven user groups from traders to governance. Three decisions, and the thinking behind each.

The order flow

The flow handed to the vendor had open end points and API triggers at many stages. I went through each one with the bank team to find the actual use case and redrew it. Result: a flow business and technical users could both read, and the vendor could build from.

The pricing feed

The bank planned a second market data feed for bond prices without a full picture of the contract, the infrastructure or the feed’s limits. I showed the timeline impact and that the price data was already available in the existing setup. Result: one integration fewer, less cost, less time.

The security data gap

The platform’s security import needs mandatory fields; the bank’s in-house source was missing some and formatted others differently. Several sessions with that team: formula fields in the platform, new fields on their side. Result: security data flows correctly and has stayed stable.

Outcome. Phase 1 built and taken through UAT with all integrations in place. Go-live is scheduled for October 2026.
