Bank Of Baroda Chairman

Broadly the trend we have seen is that retail is growing faster than corporate loans, said Chadha

After rationalisation, nine Bank of Baroda branches will cater to large corporates while 27 will be for mid-sized corporates

It was during his tenure as Financial Services Secretary that the decision to split the post of Chairman and Managing Director of public sector banks was taken

BoB's new managing director and chief executive Sanjiv Chadha tells Business Standard that while the bank has a comfortable capital base to grow he would prefer to visit the market

He recommends the government start by allowing banks' boards to hire their own management and free them up to decide strategy
