Private sector bank major HDFC has opened its first all-women branch in north Kerala region in Kozhikode.

The branch, located in Cherootty Road, the hub of traders in the district, will have 4 women bankers.

This adds to all-women branches opened by the Bank in southern India and takes forward the bank's inherent values of diversity and inclusion, a statement said here.

The branch was inaugurated by city Corporation Mayor Beena Philip at a function here on Wednesday.

HDFC Bank is driving diversity and inclusion within the organization with a special focus on enhancing gender diversity, it said.
