Company: Quantum Phinance
Employees: 200+
Industry: Financial Technology Services (NBFC, Banks & more)
Challenge: New tech hires lacked NBFC/banking domain knowledge, slowing client-readiness.
Solution: Seamless, AI-powered micro-simulations in Microsoft Teams with instant feedback.

Impact:

  • 100% adoption in Week 1 (no extra logins)
  • 60% trainer time saved (feedback automation)
  • Weeks to readiness, not months
  • Higher retention via scenario-based reinforcement

The Challenge

Quantum Phinance was scaling fast — hiring technical talent with deep coding skills but zero financial domain knowledge.
The problem:

  • Adoption friction — Traditional LMS-style onboarding required multiple logins and navigation, losing momentum.
  • Slow learning cycles — Trainers were spending hours reviewing numerical assignments and sending 1:1 feedback.
  • Business impact delay — Without NBFC & banking context, tech hires couldn’t contribute meaningfully to projects quickly.

The ask was clear:
Immediate adoption, faster skill transfer, and real-time feedback without increasing trainer workload.
