COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH TOGETHER Nature has spirit and is the main seat of excellence. If we look deep into nature, we get a variety of lessons from its different components and forms. The gushing river heading towards the sea for awaited unison teaches us to face odds with courage and fortitude. The wonderful blooming flowers from the green teach us to smile. The lush green grass signaling safety teaches us to be patient and generous. A mountain with its huge strength teaches us determination. Beyond the clouds, the sky is always blue and the sun is always shining. They want us to be persistent and ready for the upcoming days. A small plant’s gradual turning into a giant tree teaches us to pursue growth trajectory with hope and tenacity. The change in nature with the advent of each season displays that actions explain a lot more than words do. Nature, as a whole, also teaches us integrity and stability. Nature has many forms and patterns, and teaches us the benefit of togetherness. It provides us sustenance and stimulates us to excel in performance. It is our bounden duty to protect and nurture nature. In the cover picture, the plant is growing into a better and more advanced state by a process of evolution. So is our Bank. It is gradually evolving into a higher stage and stature by execution of the strategies of sustainable growth strongly supported by all stakeholders especially the loyal customers. We submit ourselves to the nature’s intelligence to rise up high. Our pursuit of sustainable growth path with the togetherness of customers is a quest for superior performance for continuous improvement. Ours is a safe depository for our all stakeholders. Our pledge is to make it a customers’ coveted destination and their preferred Bank to shape up their desired future. Together we shall grow, excel and our actions shall determine our destination. We firmly believe together we shall reach the goal we sincerely long for.
