AFTER ALMOST two years of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, the banking industry is finally showing some resilience. Most banks are wellstocked with capital and liquidity, and profitability and asset quality numbers are improving. The big challenge is credit growth. In addition, the real picture of non-performing assets (NPAs) will come out only after the end of several regulatory forbearances. This was the backdrop against which Business Today and KPMG commenced its annual exercise. The task was to analyse banks’ balance sheets and reach out to them for their initiatives on innovation, fintech engagement, talent and workforce management and enterprise resilience.

The innovation category received 80-plus nominations.
