I urge our younger executives to emulate such qualities as they take on leadership roles within the Bank.ā€

Extending best wishes for his post-retirement, MD & CEO said, ā€œAs you step into a new chapter after a fulfilling career spanning 36 years, we wish you and your loved ones good health, happiness, and peace in the years ahead.ā€

In his remarks at the farewell meeting, ED Sudhir Gupta said, ā€œI have seen Mr. Rajesh Gupta always leading by example as he embodied a deep sense of belonging to the institution. His contribution to the Bank’s journey will be remembered with respect and admiration."

Expressing his gratitude, Rajesh Gupta said, ā€œWhatever I have achieved in life - every milestone and every recognition - I owe it to this great institution. I feel deeply satisfied today, having spent my entire career among such wonderful colleagues who have always been supportive and caring. I thank each one of you from the bottom of my heart.ā€
