ATM is still a cash channel; we want to migrate it to the digital channel.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
One of my main agenda right from the beginning has been cost rationalization, and we have done a lot of cost rationalization.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
You have to go to war with a sword and a shield. You cannot go to war with bare hands.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
People are used to cash, and getting them out of that is going to be a long and tough exercise.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Why should a country have to take on itself a huge burden of managing a totally cash economy?
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Cash imposes a huge burden. We don't understand it, as it is not immediately visible. It is a huge burden on society.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Because SBI is so large, serving customers in India's big cities and small rural villages alike, it has a pressing need for better tools and technology to monitor lending risks.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
When borrowers anticipate that politicians might cancel their loans, they stop paying.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Demonetisation is a disinflationary process. So, this will bring down prices in the long run. It will also help in bringing down interest rates.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Until you get your reputation made, you have to work twice as hard... there is always a doubt in your superior's mind as to whether you will put family before your job.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
When it comes down to business, everybody is very businesslike... I have never felt any difficulty in dealing with any of these situations.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
If you go to any boardroom... the women are, by far, outnumbered by the men.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
To tell you the truth, if you're looking at rising pretty high, then you need to find a way of taking care of these problems and not taking time off. At the end of the day, it is a very tough competition. And in a very tough competition, if you just take breaks, then it's going to become much, much more difficult.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
I am happy to be running a public sector bank. In times of stress, most people will always have an account with us, so, to the extent that it gives stability and faith for the people and because banking is a business of trust, it is a major advantage we have.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
We have been partners in nation-building and take our role in building the nation very proudly.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
I am not going to opt for a short-term view for a 206-year-old institution like the SBI.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
It was my first day at work - and beginning my training on the job, I was given the job of writing cheques and entering their details. The branch was surrounded by hordes of people... soon, they had to close the gates to manage the crowds, and they started pushing in.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Senior officials are always looking for good juniors, so when the opportunity comes, they give you the responsibilities.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
We underestimate our people. Given a challenge, most of our people will do it, especially the youngsters who take to technology like duck to water.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
If we want to be the banker to every Indian as we want to be, then we will have to use technology.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
At State Bank, all decisions are collective decisions. I have created the comfort zone.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
If you have six corporate centres, six treasuries, six of everything, and then if you bring it down to one of everything, obviously there are some savings.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
SBI Caps has a distinct advantage because most of our people are market recruits. We have a public sector heritage. Our challenge is to bring the best of both - public sector heritage and private sector talent - and provide a unique offering.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
In India, the investment banking industry is a little different. Overseas, the structures are very complicated, but not in India.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Disinvestments will continue to happen. If the issue is priced correctly, there's no reason why it should not sell.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
In India, women are still the primary caregivers. Whether it be for children, whether it be for old people or sick people, you are the primary caregiver. No matter what position you are in.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
If you are really challenged, and if you are willing to take the plunge, very often some of the path opens up in front of you.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
I do believe in teamwork, and I think it's very important, especially for a woman, because if you don't have a good team, then you cannot step out if you need to.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
When there are good postings available, the people who choose who is to come to that particular position, they will always have, at the back of their minds, a fear that, 'If I take a woman, she might prioritize her family over the job and, therefore, not be available at times when her presence is required.'
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
One thing I would tell women is that they must take up the challenge. Very often, we anticipate a lot of problems, and therefore, we don't take the lead. And I think that we are shortchanging ourselves if we don't do that.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
At the end of the day, none of us are the Oracle of Delphi, so we don't get everything right. It's always good to be able to listen and to take on what seems to be the right thing to do.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
If you snap off people's heads and get on to a kind of a pedestal, it's more difficult for people to approach you. It's much easier if you are down there with them. They will talk to you.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
If you are approachable, if you keep your line of communication open, then very often, you get to hear what you need to hear.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Some people look at my photos and think maybe I'm feeling frazzled, but I really want to tell them I'm just having a bad hair day!
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Most of the time, women believe that what lies ahead is a precipice. Whereas, if you continue to drive and stay on the path, the road will open up in front of you, and you will reach your destination. You don't need to turn around and abandon the journey.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Women being women, they are very sincere, committed, and honest in what they do. If they feel they are shortchanging some segment of their responsibility, they have a tendency of holding themselves back. What I would like to tell them is that it is not necessarily true that you will short-change one or the other.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Had it not been for the groundswell of support by the people of India, we would not have seen such a huge exercise of demonetisation bounce off without a single riot or a single law and order issue.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned the narrative around on demonetisation very quickly by promoting the move as one way of ending systemic corruption in the country.
Quote by -Arundhati Bhattacharya
My friends have helped my daughter in certain areas more than I have. What these have taught me is that you need to be good to people. There will always be times when you need their help.
