In quest of new cheese
IBA deserves to be complimented for having organised this Seminar on the subject of "In search of new cheese – Towards Newer Profit Avenues". The subject holds considerable contemporary relevance coming as it does at a time of intense competition, thinning margins, rising yields, and dwindling trading profits. As we look back we can see that the declining interest rate scenario during the last three to four years coupled with prudent regulation, in alignment with inte

Are Banks serving the Common Man ?
Ladies and gentlemen of the Lions Club of Bombay, Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to share my thoughts with you all. Only Lions would be courageous enough to listen to a talk on the subject of banking which is dry and devoid of any humour. But if you keep in mind that banks deal with your hard-earned savings, what I have to say may be of interest to you. 2.

Emerging Realities in Banking & Finance: Role of New Generation Managers
It is indeed a pleasure to be here in your midst today. To be amongst bright young students is not only energizing but also a learning experience - as we look at issues afresh and start by asking basic questions, which at some level are the most difficult. 2. The Reserve Bank has shared a very special relationship with the NIBM – it catalyzed its creation in 1969, provided the venue for its first campus and has been intimately associated with its functioning.

Contemporary and Future Issues in Indian Banking*
Banking scenario has changed rapidly since 1990s. The decade of 90s has witnessed a sea change in the way banking is done in India. Technology has made tremendous impact in banking. ‘Anywhere banking’ and ‘Anytime banking’ have become a reality.

Basel II Accord and its Implications
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to share my thoughts with you on a subject which is currently engaging the attention of the banking community, not just in India but worldwide.

Corporate Governance in Banks*
Let me at the outset commend the achievements of your bank in almost all the performance parameters. It is indeed heartening to see a well functioning and sound bank in the otherwise none too rosy co-operative sector. In fact, there could have been no better tribute to the memory of your great founder Sheth Shantaram Mangesh Kulkarni than to turn in a solid performance year after year, and also at the same time becoming a technologically savvy institution.
