Craton Labs — AI for BFSI Consultancies
Your consultants are paid for judgment. Instead, they spend 40% of their week on preparatory work — reading filings, finding circulars, cross-referencing regulations — that never appears on an invoice. We are consultants who built the tools to handle that grunt work.
The Problem
Your best consultant spent four hours on a filing Tuesday. Four hours of work. Zero hours on the invoice.
This happens every day. The reading, the searching, the cross-referencing — it's mechanical, repetitive, and invisible on the bill. It consumes 40% of your team's week.
Meanwhile, the Big 4 have teams of analysts and proprietary tools that handle this work in minutes. You have shared drives and Ctrl+F.

The Solution
Most consultancies have documents they can't search and regulations they can't track. Atlas and Compass solve each one.
The First Problem
RBI circulars, NBFC reports, KYC packets — thousands of pages your team needs but can't practically search. When a question comes in, someone spends hours finding the answer.
Atlas indexes everything
Upload once. Ask forever. Every page searchable in seconds.
Answers with citations
Every answer links to the exact page and paragraph — audit-ready.
Role-based views
Partner gets the summary. Analyst gets the detail. Everyone gets what they need.
The Second Problem
Launching Q4 2026RBI publishes circulars every week. You find out when a client calls — or when a regulator asks why you didn't flag it.
We track every regulator
RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, PFRDA — daily monitoring, not occasional checks.
Summaries, not links
AI-generated briefs explaining what changed and what it means for each client.
Client-level mapping
"This SEBI circular affects 3 of your clients in mutual fund distribution."
How It Works
Upload everything your firm has — RBI circulars, NBFC filings, KYC packets. Atlas indexes every word. No re-uploading. No Ctrl+F.
"What's the new CAR threshold?" Atlas finds the exact section and paragraph — and tells you which document it came from.
Export audit logs for regulators. Compass monitors RBI, SEBI, IRDAI daily — so you see the next change before your client does.

Who We're Built For
We spent years in the same chairs your team sits in now. We know the frustration of six hours of research that can't be invoiced. The Big 4 throw people at preparatory work. Boutique firms can't.
So we built what we wish we had: tools that handle the grunt work, so consultants focus on judgment, strategy, and relationships.
Craton is not a software vendor. We are consultants who believe machines should handle reading and searching, while humans do what they're best at: thinking, advising, and building trust.
We started with Atlas because every engagement begins with reading documents. Then Compass, because someone has to track regulations. We're building the infrastructure we wish existed.
