The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has bagged the 2025 Digital Transformation Award of the Central Banking Award announced by the London-based Central Banking.
The RBI was selected for this accolade in recognition of its Pravaah and Sarthi digital initiatives.
The Sarthi system, named after the Hindi word for ‘charioteer’, was launched in January 2023 to digitise all of RBI’s internal workflows.
It enables employees to securely store and share documents, improving record management and enhancing data analysis through reports and dashboards.
The Pravaah system, meaning ‘smooth flow’ in Hindi, was introduced in May 2024.
This platform allows external users to submit regulatory applications digitally, seamlessly integrating with the Sarthi database for processing within the RBI’s offices.
