CHAIRMAN’S COMMUNIQUÉ

Stepping into the future. With confidence.

It would not be an overstatement to say that the Bank has weathered well the pounding of the three waves of the pandemic and its massive ripple effects. I believe we now have a Bank whose foundation is strong and will get stronger as it grows.

Non-Executive Independent Director

MD & CEO’S COMMUNIQUÉ

Embracing the next.
With conviction.

Predicting the future is often a tricky proposition, simply because no forecasting model is remotely capable of factoring in the ‘unknown-unknowns’. The pace of technology evolution and human ingenuity have the power to derail the plausible outcomes. However, the one thing that can be said with a degree of certainty is that the bank of the future will be embedded in customer journeys in such a way that it becomes the platform or channel on which their life moves.

5 Year Performance

Delivering profitable growth.
With impact.

We have always adopted a conservative approach to lending – focusing on staying adequately capitalised and maintaining stable asset quality. Our advances growth has consistently outpaced balance sheet expansion, indicating fund movement to high-yielding assets and translating to much better net interest margins generated with a similar balance sheet size.

We launched a web series on our social media platforms, named ’Circle of Life’. It features real-life transformative stories of bravery, sacrifice and compassion. The first story narrates Shanthi’s journey from being a pavement dweller to a proud, independent parent. The second story is about a transwoman street play artist Dhanalakshmi’s self-discovery and rebirth, to a woman of substance and an artist. The third story was about a couple with disabilities, Indra Jitendra, who overcome supposedly insurmountable challenges, every day.
