In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, organizations increasingly adopt innovative solutions to streamline processes and enhance user experiences. For StockHolding Corporation of India Limited, a government-owned financial services giant, digitizing its legal documentation process was imperative. With inefficiencies stemming from an entirely offline process, the company envisioned a future where legal documents could be created, signed, and executed seamlessly online. Enter InfoStride, a technology partner committed to turning this vision into reality.
