“As far as employees are concerned, clearly I like to communicate with them, since we are more than 40,000 people. I like to communicate either through e-mail or through video conferencing, which we do very often, and stream out videos and interviews. But more than that, I believe in traveling to my branches.”

Indian banker

Chanda Kochhar is an Indian banker best known for leading ICICI Bank as managing director and chief executive officer from 2009 to 2018. Her career is closely associated with one of India’s largest private sector banks. She resigned from her posts in 2018 amid a conflict of interest case, and ICICI Bank later dismissed her. That decision was upheld by the Supreme Court of India. The public record around her is largely tied to this banking leadership and the later dispute.
