SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Whatfix, the global leader in Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP), is accelerating transformation across the global financial services sector with its proprietary GenAI-powered product suite. As financial services institutions worldwide face mounting regulatory pressures, legacy modernization challenges, and rising user expectations, Whatfix is empowering them to navigate change with agility and control, while driving measurable improvements in productivity and ROI.

Only 58% of banking leaders feel confident in their ability to modernize core systems, according to Bain & Company's 2024 Banking Trends Survey. While 43% cite investing in new technologies as a top priority, the primary focus for bank CIOs over the next 12 months is managing cybersecurity and technology risks. These indicators underscore the complexity of digital transformation in financial services and the growing need for scalable, secure, and user-focused solutions.

Whatfix directly addresses these challenges through its product suite, comprising three powerful tools: Digital adoption to enable users right within any software, no-code analytics to uncover and resolve adoption gaps, and application simulation for safe, hands-on learning in software replicas, all powered by GenAI.

"In financial services institutions, where accuracy, speed, and compliance are non-negotiable, Whatfix empowers these institutions to transform with confidence," said Khadim Batti, CEO and co-founder of Whatfix. "We believe userization—putting users at the center of transformation—is the key to real change. Our GenAI-led platform is delivering this across some of the world's most demanding financial environments."

Powering Vertical Growth with Strategy and GenAI

In 2020, Whatfix launched its industry strategy with insurance, one of the most complex and regulated sectors. Over the next four years, the company achieved 80% year-over-year growth in new customer logos, reflecting strong and sustained demand. This momentum translated into a Net Revenue Retention (NRR) of 112% in 2025, underscoring consistent customer expansion and long-term value. Building on this success and rising enterprise demand across North America and EMEA, Whatfix expanded its financial services footprint to include banking, lending, and wealth management. In parallel, the company deepened its presence in the public sector, life sciences, and pharma industries, accelerating digital transformation at scale.

Today, Whatfix is at the forefront of an industry-first go-to-market strategy, led by Vipul Gupta, Head of Revenue Operations and Industry Strategy. A long-time Whatfix leader, Vipul began his journey as Director of Digital Marketing and went on to lead global marketing. As a data-driven, tech-focused leader, he now drives the company's global revenue operations and vertical strategy.

To further support enterprise transformation, Whatfix recently introduced a suite of GenAI Agents designed to drive digital as well as AI adoption in the flow of work.
