The story

Purple Fabric is a product of Intellect Design Arena Limited, an India-based financial technology company. Rather than being an independent startup, it represents Intellect's strategic pivot into AI-native platforms for financial institutions (FIs), positioning itself as an open AI adoption platform layered on top of existing core banking and lending workflows. The platform targets banks and FIs seeking to deploy AI-powered 'Digital Experts' and agent fleets for operations such as lending approvals, relationship management, and enterprise governance — without replacing existing infrastructure.
