The Winner Takes All
FOR HDFC BANK, winning accolades is not new; the bank is said to bag nearly 30 awards every year from all around the world. It is the only bank, which has, year after year, been on the podium in the BW Businessworld Best Banks Survey with PwC’s knowledge support. But even by its exalted standards, it has gone one better this year — it is the ‘Best Large Bank’, ‘Fastest Growing Large Bank’, and its managing director Aditya Puri has won the Lifetime Achievement for banking.

“We have one of the best brands. We are the only Indian brand in the Top 70 in the Millward Brown survey,” says HDFC Bank’s managing director Aditya Puri. “Our balance sheet is not under stress in any way. We went into semiurban and rural India well before anybody else and we are very proud of the fact that by March or June, we will be among the leaders in digital banking globally,” adds Puri.

China's Green Shoots

IS THE WORST OVER for the Chinese economy? Some economists think it is. Others disagree. The optimists point to higher than expected GDP growth of 5.3 per cent in the January-March 2024 quarter. Manufacturing activity has meanwhile moved into positive territory with the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) recording 50.8 for March 2024. That’s the first time in seven months that the manufacturing PMI has gone above 50, a reading which separates expansion from contraction.
