We Would Like To Focus On MSME Sector, Says Bandhan Bank CEO

In an interview with BusinessLine, Bandhan Bank’s Managing Director and CEO Chandra Shekhar Ghosh said the bank will focus on the MSME and affordable housing segments, and stressed that there continues to be adequate credit demand in smaller towns and rural areas. He also said the bank is working to comply with the Reserve Bank of India’s norms to lower the promoter holding to 40 per cent. Excerpts:

The bank performed well in the third quarter. How do you plan to build on it?

We are happy with the way the bank has been working across quarters. We have a strong team, which has been driving customer service. Customers have also recognised the bank as a universal bank. If the team is working well and the customer is responding well, then result is not a challenge.

How do you see the loan book growing? Will the focus remain on microfinance?
