•Creation of automated & lean Back Offices like:

Machines] at select branches for customer convenience
•Creation of an Academy of excellence [Thru’ Training & Boot Camps]
•Organisational Restructuring [ Creation of Selling roles at branch, R.O. & Z.O.]
Bank’s BPR Project - Navnirmaan
•The initial impact of Baroda Next migration has been observed to be rewarding both in
terms of increased customer satisfaction & CASA growth.
•The said impact has been sustained at 110 Baroda Next brs evaluated on sales, customer
satisfaction, etc., during the first stage of evaluation.
•Another evaluation carried out recently at Baroda Next brs on (a) customer satisfaction
[at 177 brs] and (b) employee satisfaction [at 171 brs] showed significant improvement.
•Further evaluation initiatives are on.
•A certification procedure for Baroda Next brs has been introduced for process
compliance/adherence, etc.; CSAT/ESAT externally evaluated by engaging market research
agencies.
•To sustain Sales growth, a new Sales Operating Model has been rolled out in 255 brs in Mumbai,
Surat, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Delhi & Kanpur
•Out of 15 Mid Corporate Brs planned, 14 are already functional and one more is expected to be
opened soon.
•Further centralisation initiatives are going to be piloted soon to enable the brs to become a
“Sales-cum-Service” outlet.
•Bank’s Hi-Tech City Branch at Hyderabad has been transformed into an e-branch.

Future Outlook & Guidance
•Recently, India’s government hiked administered domestic diesel prices, resumed privatization &
permitted FDI in multi-brand retail and aviation.
•RBI also cut the CRR, but kept the policy rates unchanged.
• Advancing of long-awaited reforms helped lift the stock market and the rupee.
•Due to delayed monsoon & weak external demand, India likely to grow in the band of 5.2% to 5.5%
in FY13. At present, the growth in non-food credit is in the band of 15.0%-16.0% and deposits in
13.0%-14.0% and M3 around 13.0%.
•Bank of Baroda will continue with its cautious stance and try to grow at 1.0% to 1.5% over the
banking industry’s average growth, given its strong presence in the industrially progressive states and
the support it receives from its overseas operations.
•Strategic thrust will be on protecting the “Financial Soundness” that the Bank has consistently
maintained throughout the past five years vitiated by global financial & economic turbulence.
•With a primary focus on risk management, improvement of systems & controls, liquidity and
capital strength, development of human capital and customer-friendly branch structures, etc.
• Coming to the imminent change in the Top Leadership, I would like to give a quote of Walter
Lippman ( a famous American Writer) – “The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in
other men, the conviction and the will to carry on”.
•In the times to come, all Barodians will collectively prove that our revered leaders have passed
the test with flying colours.
Thank you.
