Management Commentary

Barath Narayanan, Global BFSI and Europe Geo Head, Persistent:

"Financial institutions hold enormous data across risk, transaction and customer systems, much of it fragmented by decades of architectural decisions. The opportunity is not simply to consolidate that data, but to use it for better decisions with the transparency and control that financial services demand."

Josh Meyer, Global Head of Brickbuilder and Industry GTM, Databricks:

"What sets Persistent apart in BFSI is that they understand the problem before they reach for the platform. They bring domain depth alongside technical capability, and the results their clients are seeing reflect that combination."
