Meet Narayan Bharadwaj, Executive Vice President of Automation at Indecomm—a technologist, strategist, and relentless advocate for pragmatic innovation in the mortgage industry.

Everyone loves a summit photo. But few think about the sore legs, tedious training, or carefully charted routes it took to get there.
The same holds true for AI and automation in the mortgage industry. As lenders and servicers eye the peak—cost savings, scalability, risk reduction—it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of transformation and forget the climb starts at the base.

Homebuyers in 2024–2025 are thinking differently—and it’s changing the game. With high interest rates, inflation, remote work becoming the norm, and tech evolving fast, people are making decisions in new ways or avoiding making decisions altogether. For mortgage lenders, that means it’s time to shake things up: get tech-savvy, stay flexible with products, and rethink how to manage risk. Here are a few notable points that may impact lender operational decisions in 2025.

With Indecomm’s Post-Closing Hub, cycle-driven disruption doesn’t have to lead to bottlenecks, compliance issues, or repurchase risks. The Post-Closing Hub delivers consistency in a stage of the process that’s too often reactive. Whether you’re managing a few dozen loans a month or several thousand, the model flexes—keeping timelines tight, quality high, and your team focused on what matters most. Because in today’s market, a stable post-closing process isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a strategic advantage.

The homebuying journey is filled with emotion—hope, stress, anticipation. What borrowers need most is someone who can cut through the noise, answer their questions quickly, and keep them moving forward with confidence. But far too often, the people best equipped to provide that experience, such as your mortgage processors, are buried in routine digital data tasks. The time-drain is anything but modern.

“You can’t fix what you can’t see.” That’s the quiet truth lurking behind too many Quality Control (QC) departments in mortgage lending today.
All too often, QC data stays locked in spreadsheets, siloed from the teams that could act on it — origination, underwriting, processing, post-closing. But Premium Mortgage shows us what happens when you flip the script:

Imagine walking into a library where books are scattered everywhere—no shelves, no categories, just a sea of documents….

Automation and AI in underwriting is no longer a luxury—it’s an industry imperative. With rising demand for efficiency, reduced costs, and better customer experiences, automated underwriting systems (AUS) have taken center stage. Yet, navigating the process of selecting and adopting the right system can feel overwhelming. We’ve simplified it for you.

This, friends, is the mortgage industry’s document problem. It sounds like a minor inconvenience—something technology should have solved a decade ago. But here we are. At Indecomm, we’ve spent the last year digging into why this is still happening. The answer? While many vendors promise automated solutions for document indexing and data extraction, most fall short. Until now.

By focusing on efficiency, accuracy, and ease of use, Indecomm’s Automated MERS Audit solution is an indispensable tool for lenders looking to streamline their compliance efforts. With this blog, you can clearly convey the value of the solution to potential clients, encouraging them to explore how Indecomm can simplify their audit processes

Beyond the timeliness of mortgage document delivery, issues with loan package quality can threaten the foundation of your post-closing operations. Rest assured, tackling trailing doc tracking is a non-issue with the right mortgage document technology.

Without adequate support, staying abreast of guideline changes, best practices in loan review, and ensuring compliance with new requirements becomes increasingly challenging, leaving mortgage companies vulnerable to fines and penalties.

In a marketplace filled with numerous mortgage BPO providers, it becomes crucial to distinguish those that genuinely add value. What are the most important features of your BP partner? How do you determine whether your partner is an ally, advancing your interests, or simply focused on keeping your organization reliant on FTEs?

As the buzz around declining mortgage rates begins to swell, lenders and servicers are facing a veritable jungle of rate locks, volumes, and customers. Conjuring up the Wizard of Oz, the industry is trekking along its own Yellow Brick Road, where the thrill of increased loan volumes comes with a side of apprehension. This isn’t just about enthusiasm; it’s about readiness and business scalability. When the market returns with volume spikes, the fear of being unprepared can dampen the excitement of growth.

Picture this: you’re in the business of mortgage lending, and you’ve just successfully helped a borrower close on their dream home. It’s a moment to celebrate, but there’s one more task on the to-do list — releasing the lien on the property. Now, you could handle this the old-fashioned way, diving into stacks of paperwork, crossing your fingers, and hoping for a smooth process. Or, you could take a cue from Indecomm’s Genius approach to mortgage operations and simplify.
Enter lien release services – the streamlined, no-nonsense approach to ensuring that all-important lien is released efficiently and in compliance with all the rules and regulations. Here’s how Indecomm can help you cut through the complexity:

When you are a mortgage lender the “market seesaw” effect is inevitable. One minute you are looking at low rates, record volumes, and increasing revenues, trying to keep up with demand.
