Banking Baroness
Everybody in India knows that ICICI Bank is the most aggressive bank in the business. And most people also know that Chanda Kochhar, the bank's 43-year-old Executive Director, is one of the prime drivers of its retail strategy. Not surprising, then, that the influential Asian Banker magazine should pick Kochhar's ICICI from among 70 banks in 14 countries for the Retail Banker Award 2004. Kochhar, according to the award citation, "exemplifies the extent to which a banker can influence the banking services of a nation". That's no exaggeration.
