Global Finance talks to K.S. Setty, the newly appointed Chairman of State Bank of India (SBI), to discuss the ambitious future of India’s largest bank and its role in the fast-growing global economy.
The interview examines SBI’s growth trajectory, focusing on digital transformation, financial inclusion and global reach.
Under Setty’s leadership, SBI is positioning itself as more than just a domestic banking giant. With India poised for sustained economic growth, Setty sees an opportunity for SBI to further support India’s expanding middle class, empower small businesses and lead digital banking initiatives that can serve as a model around the world. He sees SBI as a bridge connecting India’s financial ecosystem with international markets, facilitating smoother cross-border trade and investment opportunities.
In the interview, Setty discusses the twin challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, from global economic uncertainty to India’s resilient economy and optimistic outlook, and SBI’s commitment to being a driver of financial inclusion at home and a champion of India’s economic potential on the global stage.
