The company said the anniversary is not only a milestone in longevity but also a recognition of a legacy built on resilience, passion and a longstanding commitment to people.

In 1970, CBA began in a modest room with just three individuals and a dream. Founded by the visionary late Chairman Charles Singhyar, it was passion, not capital, that laid our foundation.

“Today, that small room has grown into a company of 300+ passionate professionals, a thriving CBA family tree rooted in trust, loyalty, and shared purpose,” the company said in a statement. “We’ve withstood the test of time not merely because of business acumen, but because of something far rarer, trust. Through civil war, natural disasters like the tsunami, a global pandemic, and a crippling economic crisis, CBA never faltered. Our strength was never just in our services, it was in our people, and the trust we nurtured through decades of staying true to our word”.
