Bank’s BPR Project - Navnirmaan Bank’s BPR Project - Navnirmaan Project Navnirmaan has altogether -18- initiatives covering both Business Process Re-engineering and Organization Re-structuring, aimed at transforming the Bank’s branches into a sales and service centres through sustained Centralization to make possible Sales growth, superior customer experience and alternate channel migration. The most important initiatives are:- Conversion of all metro and urban branches into Baroda Next within a timeline [ branches rolled out so far across -13- Zones and -56- Regions]. Creation of automated and lean Back Offices like: City Back Office [Automated cheque processing introduced at Mumbai, Surat and Ahmedabad]. Regional Back Office [-10- RBOs functioning] for CASA opening [No. of branches linked –2710] & issuance of Personalized Cheque Books [[No. of branches linked ]. More than 5,700 CASA are being opened per day. Establishment of -2- Contact Centres [at Lucknow and Baroda]. Introduction of frontline automation [viz. Queue Management System and Cheque deposit Machines] at select branches for customer convenience. Conducting Trainings and Boot camps. Organization Re-structuring [creation of Selling roles at branch, R.O. and Z.O.] The initial impact of Baroda Next migration has been found to be rewarding both in terms of increased customer satisfaction and CASA growth.

Bank’s BPR Project - Navnirmaan Bank’s BPR Project - Navnirmaan The said impact has been sustained at 110 Baroda Next branches evaluated on (a) sales and (b) customer satisfaction during first stage of evaluation. Another evaluation carried out recently on (a) Customer satisfaction [at -177-] and (b) Employee satisfaction [at -171] Baroda Next branches, shows significant improvement. A certification procedure for Baroda Next branches have been introduced in terms of which process compliance/ adherence are being evaluated by Bank’s Internal inspectors and CSAT / ESAT externally evaluated by engaging Market Research Agencies. To sustain Sales Growth, a new Sales Operating Model has been rolled out in branches in -25- Regions over 20 cities. Out of -15- Mid-corporate branches planned, all are functional. Further centralization initiatives are being piloted to enable the branches to become a “Sales-cum-Service Outlet”. Bank’s Hi-tech City branch, Hyderabad has been transformed into an e-branch.

Bank’s HR initiatives Bank’s HR initiatives Recruitment - FY13 The Bank has been hiring on a sustained basis year after year, to cater to the “gap” created by superannuation, sustained business growth and rapid branch expansion. (Joined up to ) New Hiring in FY12-13: (2700) Probationary Officers (429) Specialist officers (54) Baroda Manipal Trainees (342) Campus Recruitment (237) Clerks - 2,000 (1,638) Massive skills’ up-gradation and several structured programmes for new joinees werec carried out during the year to develop important Banking skills with a focus on skills needed for Credit & Forex operations, soft skills, etc.

Bank’s HR initiatives Bank’s HR initiatives A dedicated HR transformation project – ‘SPARSH has been initiated by the Bank - to revamp its existing HR processes, structures and policies. Various measures in the direction of talent management, succession planning, creating a scientific staffing model & manpower planning, development and capability building, performance management, etc. have been initiated. Opening of the ‘Baroda Manipal School of Banking’ as an innovative and new channel of resourcing of trained manpower in the Bank. Around 180 students are being inducted into this school every quarter for a focussed grooming and for a one-year full-time PG course in banking which is tailored to the Bank’s specific requirements.

Future Outlook & Guidance Future Outlook & Guidance Since mid-Sept, 2012, India’s government has taken several corrective measures to improve fiscal consolidation and investment climate. RBI also has cut both the CRR and key policy rates to address the risks to growth & liquidity. Advancing of long-awaited reforms has helped lift the stock market and the rupee. Yet, given the intensity of macro headwinds, the nation is likely to post the growth between 5.2% to 5.5% in FY13. As the “outlook” for credit is still not very positive, the Bank will continue with its Cautious stance. Strategic thrust will be on protecting the “Financial Soundness” that the Bank has consistently maintained throughout the period of global turbulence. With a primary focus on asset quality management, CASA mobilisation, recovery, liquidity management, etc. The positive factor for the Bank, going ahead is the “Consistent Leadership”. I would like to conclude by giving the “quote” of Tom Seaver “In baseball my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end”. Thank you.
