December 22, 2014 08:44

Romesh Sobti, managing director & chief executive of IndusInd Bank, is the Business Standard Banker of the Year for 2013-14.

He was chosen by a five-member jury headed by Subir Gokarn, former deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India, for the bank's consistent performance during a period of slow economic growth, high inflation, mounting non-performing assets and muted credit demand.

The other jury members were Mahindra & Mahindra Director Bharat Doshi, Ican Investment Advisors Chairman Anil Singhvi, State Bank of India's former managing director Diwakar Gupta, and Ambit Group CEO (institutional equities) Saurabh Mukherjea.

The jury had initially shortlisted three bankers from a list of nine on parameters ranging from business growth and efficiency ratios to quality of assets and employee productivity. Non-financial aspects like corporate governance standard, customer service quality and technology initiatives were also reviewed.
