Axis Bank, MD & CEO Amitabh Chaudhry sits down with ET’s Saloni Shukla and banking editor Sangita Mehta for an unfiltered conversation on growth, competition, and resilience. Since taking over in 2019, Chaudhry has led Axis to become India’s third-largest private sector bank. Yet, questions remain about its relatively slower growth especially when compared to peers like ICICI and HDFC Bank. With the banking sector navigating fresh headwinds, sluggish deposit growth, stricter regulatory scrutiny on NBFC ties, tightening margins, and global uncertainty, Chaudhry offers a frank assessment of what’s next for Axis, the banking industry at large and much more.
