Computer Age Management Services (CAMS), India’s largest registrar and transfer agent for mutual funds, is set to launch CAMS Lens, its flagship artificial intelligence platform, as part of a broader technology roadmap that includes four AI-led integrations over the next two quarters, according to the company.

The new suite of tools is expected to significantly enhance CAMS’ scale of operations, compliance automation and efficiency across the mutual fund ecosystem.

CAMS’ Managing Director, Anuj Kumar said that the AI platform CAMS Lens will be ready to go live in the next four to six weeks. “It has already been deployed within CAMS’ internal operations and is functioning well. We are adding the final security and business continuity layers before going live for the wider industry.”

CAMS Lens, built on a custom-trained large language model (LLM), will transform how asset management companies and intermediaries manage regulatory compliance, Anuj Kumar claimed. The platform will continuously monitor websites of financial regulators such as Sebi, instantly identify new circulars and classify them by subject. It will also generate detailed and short summaries, along with compliance checklists and alerts, ensuring that users can act on new rules within minutes.

Anuj Kumar said the platform goes beyond reading documents and will automatically write SQL-based queries to help clients validate compliance data against daily transaction records, a feature that could eliminate manual errors and enhance the precision of audits. “By automating compliance interpretation, CAMS Lens reduces effort, improves accuracy, and frees teams to focus on growth,” the company said.

Responding to questions on accuracy, CAMS’ Anuj Kumar said the company is running CAMS Lens in parallel with manual processes for now. “We are not dismantling any teams immediately,” he said. “Both systems will run side by side for at least six to nine months, so that we can measure variance and confidence levels. Once we reach an accuracy of over 99 percent, we’ll look at full-scale transition.”

Unlike generic AI tools that pull from the public web, CAMS Lens operates on curated, regulator-approved content, ensuring consistency and reliability.

On the target client base for these initiatives, Kumar said the initial rollout will focus on asset managers, including mutual fund AMCs, Designated Investment Managers (DIMs), and Discretionary Management Service providers (DMS), followed by depository participants and brokerages. “These are the entities we already service, and we have a deep understanding of their compliance workflows,” he said, adding that CAMS plans to expand the platform’s use across other segments of capital markets in due course.

CAMS has been expanding its AI and engineering talent pool to support these initiatives. Since 2024, CAMS has recruited close to 100 IIT and IIM graduates, and partnered with Google to co-develop utilities like CAMS Lens. The firm plans to follow up the launch with three more AI platforms - a PAN Debarment Platform for real-time verification, an AI-driven behavioral ReCaptcha system, and a voice-led analytics interface that will allow business leaders to query complex data in natural language.
