The need: a mandate for control and localization
This case study is about one of India’s largest crypto trading platforms, serving multiple millions registered users.
As a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) exchange regulated under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), it is subject to strict obligations.
These include real-time transaction monitoring, Suspicious Activity Reporting, and complete audit trails, all of which must be processed and stored within India’s borders.
Their search for a new transaction monitoring solution had three key requirements:
- A unified platform for real-time transaction monitoring, sanction screening, and case management
- The flexibility to create and adapt a detection program tailored to their business, autonomously
- On-premise deployment to comply with India’s data localization constraints
The Solution
They chose Marble for its unique ability to meet all these requirements, and particularly the need for on-premise deployment.
Full control over data and deployment
The need for full control was both a regulatory and strategic decision.
The company's Head of Compliance explains:
"We wanted complete control of our Compliance system, and to ensure the data and everything critical are run and hosted on our own premises. That was not available on other tools than Marble."
By deploying Marble on their own servers, they secured full data sovereignty and retained complete control over its compliance infrastructure, satisfying mandatory regulatory requirements.
Autonomy and flexibility for high-volume compliance
The company's primary operational pain point was the lack of control over its detection framework. With Marble, the team adopted an ultra-flexible rule engine built on a custom data model mirroring their own data warehouse.
This unique combination allows the Compliance team to fully tailor and adapt detection logic to their specific use cases and procedures, autonomously, without relying on engineers or vendor support.
The head of Compliance is clear :
“I used and benchmarked many tools for transaction monitoring, the ease of use and flexibility we have with Marble has no comparison,”
For the company's Compliance leadership, the ability to create and adapt rules in minutes is not just a technical improvement — it’s a strategic business advantage. And for a company operating at this scale, it delivers an immediate and measurable return on investment.
The company also adopted Marble Investigation Suite to streamline its case management workflows for the 15-person Compliance team, unifying previously fragmented and manual processes into one integrated platform.
“We love using Marble because it gives us both control and flexibility. It feels like a system built around our needs”
White glove support for fast deployment
They had an aggressive timeline for platform migration and successfully launched Real-time Transaction Monitoring and Investigation, On-Premise, in just six weeks.
"The quality and quickness of responses from the team, that was impressive. The commitment of the Marble team was essential in achieving this launch.”
The project benefited from Marble Enterprise support level, with a dedicated Solution Engineer support throughout the process.
Next steps: AML Screening and AI Automation
With Marble, this top Crypto platform in India unified Transaction Monitoring and Investigations in one self-hosted platform, gaining faster investigations, full control on its detection logic and overall compliance stack.
Building on this foundation, they are soon extending its deployment with Customer Screening and Ongoing Monitoring, as well as Marble’s AI-powered Investigation module to streamline case resolution.
Beyond the technology, the partnership has evolved into a close, collaborative relationship. The Compliance and Engineering teams actively contribute feedback that help shape Marble’s roadmap, ensuring the platform continues to evolve in step with the real needs of leading financial institutions.
