Rarely does one come across a book on any industry that is so encompassing in coverage, diverse insights and perspectives as Transformational Leadership in Banking. The book is about the transformation of the banking industry and who qualifies to write on this subject more than Anil Khandelwal, as Vinod Rai writes in his scintillating foreword of the book?

Khandelwal’s impeccable credentials lend credibility to the entire design of the contents. He set examples in leadership and governance of public sector banks through his leadership in Dena Bank and Bank of Baroda. But that was only the beginning of a remarkable career. He assisted the government through heading first the Khandelwal Committee on HR reforms in the banking sector and then as a member of another high-profile initiative of Government of India, Banks Board Bureau for banking reforms and selection of whole-time directors of PSU banks. Since then, he has written several best-selling books. This book is a fitting sequel where he has brought together the best and the brightest in the industry and academia to throw light on all aspects of leadership and governance in the everchanging context of Indian Banking including post-covid digital environment.
