February 2022 marked the start of the tenure of a new managing director and chief executive officer at Punjab National Bank, a critical position in the wake of the bank’s challenges, including a massive instance of fraud and challenges associated with the bank's amalgamation with the United Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce in 2020. With over three decades of experience leading other public sector banks, the new leader embarked on the mission to restore the bank’s 128-year legacy. Faced with the daunting task of restoring the bank’s former reputation and glory, he explored strategies for implementing a comprehensive plan to bring Punjab National Bank back on the track of sustainable growth. Which strategy would reshape the bank’s trajectory and ensure sustainable growth while also reviving the bank's legacy and heritage?
