ICICI Bank intends to raise its workforce by recruiting 5,000-7,000 people this year, a senior bank official said.
Chanda Kochhar, ICICI Bank’s MD and CEO said, “We plan to hire around 5,000-7,000 people this fiscal. We have also declared bonus and increments for our employees”. She was talking to reporters after opening the 2000th branch of ICICI Bank in Mumbai.
ICICI Bank has become the 1st private sector bank to achieve this milestone, providing the bank a broad distribution access in the country, Kochhar claimed.
The bank is looking to set up more branches and ATMs in the present fiscal, she said.
Talking about Bank’s Indian origin issue, Kocchar said, “We are an Indian originated Bank, controlled by an Indian management and governed by the Reserve Bank of India . Nothing has changed in our ownership structure in the recent past, so we do not think there are any hitch in our expansion plans”.
