India Becomes a Powerhouse for AI-Driven Mortgage Operations as Moder Accelerates Growth
Bengaluru, April 30, 2026: There’s a quiet but powerful shift happening in the financial services world-and India is right at the center of it.
Moder, a fast-growing player in tech-enabled outsourcing for mortgage, banking, and insurance sectors, is scaling its AI-led mortgage operations globally-with India emerging as its largest and most strategic hub. In just five years since its founding in 2021, the company has grown to over 7,400 employees worldwide, with more than 5,000 based in India alone, serving 65+ clients across key global markets.
The Big Shift: From Manual to Intelligent Mortgage Operations
Financial institutions today are under pressure—costs are rising, regulations are tightening, and customers expect faster service. Traditional mortgage processes, often slow and paperwork-heavy, are no longer enough.
Moder is leaning into this transformation by blending domain expertise with automation and global talent. The goal? Streamline the entire mortgage lifecycle—from loan origination and underwriting to servicing and customer support—making operations faster, smarter, and more reliable.
AI at the Core: Smarter, Faster, More Consistent
A big part of this evolution is Moder’s investment in AI through its platform modeIQ, built in collaboration with Palantir Technologies.
This platform connects data, decision-making, and workflows into one seamless system. It helps lenders turn complex policies into structured, trackable processes—reducing manual effort, improving consistency, and delivering predictable outcomes even in high-volume environments.
Leadership Perspective Erik Anderson, CEO of Moder, puts it simply: Mortgage operations have reached a turning point. The old, labor-intensive models just don’t scale anymore. The future lies in integrated systems where AI, data, and human expertise work together-not just to automate, but to bring standardization and control to previously fragmented processes.
And when it comes to executing this vision globally, India plays a crucial role-thanks to its talent, scale, and growing tech capabilities.
Expanding Globally, Rooted in India
While Moder has expanded across regions like the Philippines, Guatemala, Chile, and the United States, India continues to be its fastest-growing and most significant delivery center.
The company is also strengthening its ecosystem through partnerships with firms like Gateless, ServisBOT, and Xpanse—enhancing areas like underwriting intelligence, customer interaction, and operational scalability.
Internally, its Automation Foundry is driving innovation with tools such as: *AI co-pilots *Analytics dashboards *Process mining solutions *Workflow orchestration systems All aimed at boosting efficiency and reducing operational friction.
Growth with Responsibility Marking its five-year milestone, Moder is also stepping into sustainability. The company has committed to planting nearly 5,000 saplings across Karnataka—including Chikmagalur, Koppal, and Chikkaballapur-by July, reinforcing its focus on responsible and inclusive growth.
What ’s Next? As Moder moves into its next phase, the roadmap is clear: deeper AI integration, stronger global delivery capabilities, and continued investment in talent. In a world where financial institutions are chasing efficiency and resilience, companies like Moder-and hubs like India-are shaping the future of mortgage operations.

CPRI Bengaluru marks Ambedkar’s 135th birth anniversary with tributes, awards and cultural events
Bengaluru, April 29, 2026: The Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) commemorated the 135th birth anniversary of B. R. Ambedkar with a solemn and well-attended programme at its Bengaluru campus on Tuesday.
The event began with a welcome address by Dr T. Mallikarjuna Rao, Director, CPRI, who underlined the continued relevance of Ambedkar’s vision in shaping an inclusive and equitable society. This was followed by the ceremonial lighting of the lamp and a floral tribute to the architect of the Indian Constitution, setting the tone for the occasion.
Delivering the keynote address, chief guest Dr G. B. Harisha-professor, philosopher and writer-spoke at length on Ambedkar’s ideals, his philosophical depth and his enduring constitutional vision. He emphasised the importance of upholding democratic values and social justice in contemporary times.
In her presidential address, Dr J. Sreedevi, Director General, CPRI, highlighted Ambedkar’s pivotal contributions to nation-building, particularly his relentless efforts towards social equality and empowerment of marginalised communities. She noted that his ideas continue to guide institutions in fostering fairness and inclusivity.
A key highlight of the programme was the presentation of Dr B. R. Ambedkar Merit Awards to outstanding students, recognising academic excellence and encouraging young achievers. The award ceremony was coordinated by Dr Kaliappan P, Additional Director, CPRI.
Shri Prabhakar C, Joint Director and liaison officer for SC/ST and persons with disabilities, delivered the vote of thanks, acknowledging the efforts of organisers and participants.
The celebration concluded on a vibrant note with a cultural performance by Dattashri Samskruthika Vedike, adding a festive touch to the proceedings. The programme saw enthusiastic participation from staff and invitees, serving as a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy and ideals of Dr B. R. Ambedkar.
Bengaluru, April 29, 2026: Apollo Hospitals has expanded its dedicated geriatric care initiative, Seniors First, across multiple centres in the city, signalling a more structured push toward integrated elder care. After its initial launch at the Bannerghatta Road facility, the programme will now be available at units in Jayanagar, Sheshadripuram and Sarjapur, widening access for senior citizens. The expansion coincides with the completion of one year of the programme at Bannerghatta Road, where it has helped shift the focus from episodic treatment to continuous, patient-centric care for the elderly.
With India’s ageing population rising steadily, healthcare providers are increasingly grappling with the complex needs of seniors, many of whom live with multiple chronic conditions and require ongoing medical attention. Fragmented care systems—often lacking coordination between hospital treatment, home care and follow-up—continue to impact outcomes and place added pressure on families and caregivers.
Against this backdrop, Seniors First has been positioned as a multidisciplinary model that integrates preventive care, wellness monitoring and post-treatment recovery into a single framework. Drawing on Apollo’s clinical experience, the programme combines personalised care plans, continuous monitoring and smoother transitions from hospital to home.
Dr Steve Paul, a geriatric specialist, said the approach aims to move beyond reactive treatment. “The focus is on anticipating risks, minimising complications and enabling structured recovery, so that seniors can maintain independence and quality of life for longer,” he said.
Akshay Oleti, regional CEO for Karnataka at Apollo Hospitals, said the initiative is designed to ensure continuity of care beyond hospital discharge. “Care does not stop at treatment. It extends into recovery and long-term wellness, which ultimately leads to better outcomes and reduces the burden on families,” he said.
The programme covers a broad spectrum of services, including preventive health assessments, chronic disease management and rehabilitation support. It caters to seniors recovering from orthopaedic procedures such as knee and hip replacements, cardiac interventions like bypass surgery and angioplasty, as well as neurological and oncology treatments.
A key aspect of the initiative is its emphasis on coordinated care outside hospital settings. By leveraging Apollo’s wider ecosystem—spanning home healthcare, diagnostics, pharmacy and digital platforms—the programme ensures continuity at every stage. Additional support includes dedicated helplines, priority consultations, concierge services and emergency coordination.
By addressing gaps such as limited home-based support and the absence of structured recovery pathways, Apollo Hospitals aims to set a new benchmark in geriatric care delivery. The expanded rollout, the hospital group said, is part of its broader effort to help senior citizens lead healthier, more independent lives.
