Branch Manager to CEO

2001 – I was the BM of HSBC, Borivali, Mumbai branch (photo 1)

2003 – I was the BM of HSBC, South Extension, New Delhi branch (photo 2)

2005 – I made a presentation to the senior management of HSBC that a BM’s role is nothing less than that of a CEO. 

2015 – I took over my 1st role as the CEO

Even today, I truly believe that the BM of a Bank or for that matter, any other business, is the CEO of his / her branch. Everything in & around the branch is their responsibility; just like it is for the CEO.

So if any BM is reading this post – be proud of yourself & from today let your heart swell with pride & let your work be impeccable; a stamp of your highest ability – after all, you are the CEO of your branch.

Finally on a lighter note – the spectrum of expectations (job description) for both the BM & the CEO are extremely wide – 

All toilets have to function perfectly

All targets have to be achieved- everything is our responsibility
