The Special Issue this month is Fortune India’s annual package on India’s Best Financiers — a deep, detailed study of the banking sector with our partners Grant Thornton Bharat. It captures a period of cracking growth in the midst of gloom in global banking; the welcome fall in non-performing assets; the revival of growth among small finance banks; the winners across seven categories and, of course, the understated brilliance of Kotak Mahindra Bank founder and MD & CEO Uday Kotak — the jury’s choice for Financier Of The Year.

TODAY, DESHPANDE INVESTS IN CREATING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION 1 . HE SHARES HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL INSIGHTS AND WHY HE BELIEVES INDIA’S UNTAPPED BILLIONS NEED START-UPS WITH A PURPOSE AND NOT JUST UNICORNS.
