About the client
Accounti is an accounting firm handling bookkeeping, CFO services, and finance ops for startups and funds. It owns a niche that few firms serve: full-lifecycle India investment management for foreign investors in Indian private limited companies. They handle the full lifecycle: demat setup, share dematerialization and transfer, tax compliance, and exit capital gains filing.
Indian regulations require every shareholder in an Indian company, including foreign funds and holding companies, to hold shares electronically rather than as paper certificates, in what's called a demat account.
The onboarding stage, which Gyde’s portal streamlines, typically involves tedious intake forms, massive KYC document bundles, bank paperwork, and physical signatures couriered across borders.
The Challenge
Investor data lived in Google Sheets; documents arrived over email; clarifications happened on calls and chat. No single source of truth for where any investor stood.
Blurry scans, wrong formats, and missing pages were caught only during manual review, triggering long back-and-forth cycles across time zones before documents were bank-ready.
A fund manager in the US had no visibility into what was pending, what was rejected, or where to sign in an unfamiliar Indian process, so every step generated follow-up emails and calls.
Signed documents were sent by courier to the office with no systematic way to track dispatch and receipt against each investor's case.
How Gyde solved it
The Accounti team creates a new investor case from a single dashboard. The platform provisions secure investor access, tracks progress, and keeps every onboarding request in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets.
A structured intake form and document checklist helped investors upload their passports, local tax IDs (PAN in India), bank statements, and other KYC documents directly to the portal. Once uploaded, Claude Haiku 4.5 extracts key fields directly from the document, cutting manual data entry for the Accounti team.
As documents arrive, Claude Sonnet 4.6 screens each upload for blur, poor lighting, cropping, and distorted angles, flagging issues within seconds. Final verification remains with the Accounti operations team.
Rejections and comments are batched into clean email digests, so investors get one clear summary of what needs fixing instead of a flood of notifications.
The Accounti team uploads bank-ready demat forms with visual signature guides showing investors exactly where to sign, cutting signature errors before printing.
Signed copies are re-uploaded, verified by the team, and courier dispatch is tracked in the portal until the physical documents reach the office.
The outcome
6 weeks from intake to bank-ready file
Files bank-ready in 4 weeks
2 weeks faster
9 emails per investor case on average
One digest per review cycle
79% fewer emails
Format errors caught after 2 days
Flagged within seconds of upload
Instant screening
The pattern behind the result
Haiku 4.5 extracts KYC fields from uploaded passports and identity documents and Sonnet 4.6 reviews every document for image quality before human review.
All KYC documents are encrypted and stored in governed cloud storage with role-based access control, so sensitive investor data never sits in inboxes or shared drives.
Rather than adapting a generic platform, Gyde built a system around Accounti's demat onboarding workflow, making every step faster, clearer, and easier to manage.
In their words
Before Gyde, every investor case was spread across a spreadsheet, email, and whatever calls we'd had that week. If a scan came in blurry, we wouldn't know until manual review, sometimes two days later, and by then the investor's moved on to something else. Now documents get flagged the second they're uploaded, so we're not chasing people for the same document twice. Investors can see their own status instead of emailing us to ask. We've gone from six weeks to four on a typical case, and my team spends that time actually reviewing files instead of coordinating paperwork.
