The dynamics of ascent: a centenary history of Bank of Baroda

by Dwijendra Tripathi

The book traces the rise of the Bank over the last 100 years from humble beginnings in the then princely state of Baroda in 1908 to its present position as a premier Indian Financial Powerhouse and India's International Bank. Over the last 100 years, many leaders have shaped the destiny of the Bank by their vision, passion and leadership. Thousands of employees have contributed to its progress. The journey of 100 years can never be smooth in the changing socio-politico-economic environment. Each organization goes through the travails of changing times. Bank of Baroda is no exception. The Bank's journey has been a saga of enterprise, financial prudence and corporate governance. It is a story scripted in corporate wisdom and social pride. It is also a story crafted in private capital, princely patronage and state ownership. It is a story about the millions of people - customers, shareholders, employees and the public at large - who have contributed to the making of a great institution, which today has a pioneering presence in many countries around the world.
