NRI FT India and Digital Asset to Deliver DAML Driven Applications to Capital Markets

KOLKATA, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nomura Research Institute Financial Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. (NRI FT
India), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nomura Research Institute (NRI)
(TOKYO: 4307), has partnered with Digital Asset to create innovative
capital markets applications using DAML, the open source smart contract
language created by Digital Asset to synchronize business processes and
make transaction workflow more transparent and efficient.

DAML is used to model business processes using smart contracts,
capturing the rights and obligations associated with any asset class,
business transaction or complex multi-party workflow to drive automation
and efficiency. DAML is a core component of a number of Digital Asset
projects and proofs of concept, including those with the ASX, HKEX and
other market infrastructure providers.

Mr. Maulindu Chatterjee, Head of Global Delivery at NRI FT India said,
“Our rich domain expertise in capital markets and years of experience
delivering mission-critical solutions has helped us rapidly establish
competencies with DAML, a technology we find is getting adopted by major
markets in the APAC region such as ASX & HKEX.”

“Importantly,” Chatterjee added, “DAML has significantly enriched our
capabilities as we build out complex enterprise workflows for a range of
financial products. NRI FT India was able to develop multiple Proof of
Concepts with DAML Smart Contracts within a short span of just five
months. NRI FT India is looking forward to expanding the work we’re
doing with Digital Asset in the Australian, Hong Kong and Japanese
markets. Our collaboration with Digital Asset is a major strategic
business opportunity for us.”

“We are delighted to partner with NRI FT India – its deep expertise and
global delivery capability will help us scale our solutions and meet the
rigorous needs of systemically consequential capital market
infrastructures and financial institutions in APAC,” said Jon Rout,
Business Development Director Asia Pacific for Digital Asset. We look
forward to expanding the work we are doing with NRI FT India on
significant client engagements and exploring new business opportunities
together in the future.”
