Key excerpts from MD & CEO's letter in Annual Report 2019-20
The financial year 2019-20 was a year of building the foundation for the Bank. This was a year of non-stop,
high octane action at our Bank; we completed the merger, integrated two systems, technology, processes and
people, re-defined reporting hierarchies, energised the teams, went all out for retail liabilities (up 157%), grew
retail loans (up 40%), changed the composition of the balance sheet, reduced dependence on institutional
deposits, reduced Top-20 borrower exposure percentages, reduced Top-20 depositor percentages, dealt with
unexpected hits on some wholesale banking accounts, appointed a brand ambassador, dealt with COVID-19
and lockdowns, raised 2,000 crore of equity capital in the midst of the lockdown, and are submitting this
annual report to you from behind screens.
Our Bank enjoys an excellent brand image. Q4 FY20 was, without doubt, the most trying period of our lifetime.
Global indices crashed 20-25%, and NYSE shut down at lower circuit breakers, twice in March 2020. Our own
stock exchanges were crashing by the day due to COVID-19. There was total panic in the markets. At the same
time, news about one private sector bank was quite negative and that bank was put on moratorium by the
regulatory authorities. You will be happy to note even in a quarter of such chaos, the Retail Deposits of our Bank
grew by 4,658 crore in Q4 FY20 alone, representing a sequential QoQ growth of 16%. Such is the confidence
our Bank enjoys in the market.

Growth, you will agree, is not an issue
in India. Mid-teens ROE can be built for
sure, most good banks have achieved it.
Our incremental margins are strong. Our
business is highly scalable. We have a
very high level of corporate governance.
We focus on the customer. I believe it is
inevitable that value will be created in this
approach.

Culture is not just about how things get done
around here, it's a much longer list such as, about
how people conduct themselves in office and in
society, how committed they are to the mission,
how to resolve conflicts, not using offensive or
abusive words, imbibing the organisation's policy
that the customer comes first and so on.
