In the ever-evolving world of information technology, where efficiency and speed define success, Abhishek Yadav has emerged as a pioneer in automation. His groundbreaking innovations in Partial Automation have revolutionized IT workflows, saving not just hours or days but years of effort for some of the world's biggest financial institutions.
With deep expertise, Abhishek has developed cutting-edge automation tools that have drastically reduced development time, minimized manual work, and optimized complex IT processes. His contributions have benefited leading companies such as Barclays (Singapore & UK), Standard Chartered Bank (Malaysia), JP Morgan Chase, Lloyds Bank, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Bank of New York, and IBM.
Many assume that automation means replacing manual processes entirely, but Partial Automation is a far more strategic approach. Abhishek’s tools integrate human intelligence with automation, ensuring faster execution while retaining essential decision-making capabilities. Using his tools, companies have significantly reduced project timelines, cut down years of manual effort, and improved accuracy and efficiency across critical processes.
One of Abhishek’s most groundbreaking innovations is the COBOL Retrofitting Tool, a first-of-its-kind solution in the world. Unlike existing code merger tools that only combine different versions of the code, his tool modernizes legacy COBOL code, making it more efficient without altering its core functionality.
Abhishek’s remarkable contributions have been recognized across the industry. At Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) Malaysia, he was tasked with implementing changes across approximately 3,000 members. His automation tool accomplished this in just 57 seconds, earning him the prestigious SCB Malaysia Spot Award. Similarly, JP Morgan Chase honored him with the Star Performer Award for delivering innovative automation solutions that significantly improved operational efficiency.
His expertise in Partial Automation has also been acknowledged by IIT Delhi and IIT Mumbai, where he was invited to deliver lectures on the impact of automation in IT development. His insights on reducing "donkey work" and transitioning to smart work have inspired many professionals and students alike.
Abhishek holds deep admiration for Ajai Chowdhry, the co-founder of HCL, who is often referred to as the "Father of Indian Hardware." When Abhishek met Chowdhry for the first time, he found him to be very kind and down-to-earth—qualities that have made him a role model in the industry.
His contributions have also been recognized in academia by Dr. Shiv Prasad Kosta, a renowned scientist and the Principal Technical Officer of India's first satellite, Aryabhata. Dr. Kosta, who worked alongside Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam for 40 years, acknowledged Abhishek’s groundbreaking approach in IT automation and even invited him to collaborate on research.
Even during his college days, Abhishek’s talent in software development was evident. He received a certificate from the Superintendent of Police for developing a project for the Madhya Pradesh Government, further establishing his early promise in IT.
Abhishek Yadav is more than just an automation expert—he is a visionary who has demonstrated how Partial Automation can revolutionize IT. By significantly reducing effort, optimizing efficiency, and transforming outdated processes, he has made an indelible mark in the industry. His tools, currently running in multiple organizations, are a testament to the power of smart automation. With his relentless pursuit of innovation, Abhishek continues to inspire and lead the way toward a more automated, efficient, and intelligent IT landscape.
