ICICI Bank is a private sector bank engaged in retail banking, insurance etc. ICICI Bank,
Exhibition Road branch is a newly founded branch that deals in retail banking. Retail banking
refers to the banking, which provides all the financial products and services to its customers.


4‘--!5* !"$'

The Indian Banking history can be broadly categorized into nationalized private banks
and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts as a centralized
monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. Since the nationalization of
banks in 1969, the nationalized banks have acquired a place of prominence and has since
then seen tremendous progress. The need to become highly customer focused has forced
the slow moving public sector banks to adopt a fast track approach.
The liberalized policy of Government of India permitted entry to private sector banks in
the banking industry. The major differentiating parameter that distinguishes these banks
is the level of service that is offered to the customer. These banks have generally been
established by promoters of reputed or high value domestic financial institutions. The
popularity of these banks can be gauged by the fact that in a short span of time, these
banks have gained considerable customer confidence and consequently have shown
impressive growth rates. Today, the private banks corner almost 4% share of the total
share of deposit. With efficiency being the major focus, these banks have leveraged on
their strength and competencies viz. management, operation efficiency and flexibility,
superior product positioning a higher employee productivity skill.

[
 The private banks with their focused business and services portfolio have a reputation of
being niche player in the industry. A well chalked out integrated strategy has allowed
these banks to operate 70% of their business to urban areas, this statutory requirement has
translated into lower deposit mobilization costs and higher margins to public sector
banks.
Banks are increasingly finding that most viable way of differentiating themselves will be
to successfully manage customer relationship and enhance the overall customer
experience. In future the market space will see banks and non-banks striving to seek
opportunities to profit, in the wake of product customization.

4#‘5 ! !"

The Indian banking saw dramatic changes in the last decade and so ever since the advent
of liberalization and India¶s integration with the worked economy. These economic
reforms and the entry of private players saw nationalized banks revamp their service and
product portfolio to incorporate new, innovative, customer-centric schemes. The Indian
banking finally woke up to the surging demands of the ever-discerning Indian consumer.
The need to become highly customers focused (generated by high competitive levels)
forced the slow-moving public sector banks to adopt a fast track approach. These
customer friendly programs included revamping of the product and service schemes like
credit cards, hassle-free housing loan schemes, educational loans and flexi-deposit
scheme integration of the branch net work by using advance networking technology and
customers personalization programs (through ATM¶s and any time banking etc.). Many
banks have started capitalizing on the recent stock market surge by adding (Initial Public
Offering) IPO financing offering option and schemes in their product mix. IPO finance
has received a positive response from the investor and is becoming popular amongst the
business community. The objective of all these strategies was very clear to bridge the
community. The objective of all these strategies was very clear to bridge the service and
product gap that was inherent in the banking system.

Marketing and branch building programs were also given a new thrust in the liberalized
banking scenario. Promotional budgets were hiked to cater to the new and large
discerning target audience. Banks were now keen on marketing their products and service
through various mediums to reach their core customers. Direct marketing, Internet
marketing, hoarding press ads, television sponsorships, image makeovers etc. become an
integral part of a bank¶s marketing mix. To meet the personalized needs of the customer
and in order to differentiate its services, banks repositioned themselves in specialized
fields, like housing loans, car finance, educational loans etc. to optimally service the
customer. Marketing became the new strategy that banks began to propound. Feeding the
customer (with his or her consent) with product and service information and thereby
enticing him towards the bank¶s product service portfolio. The lowering of the interest
rate spread on housing loan over the last few years has resulted in a substantial housing
boom. The middle class has been the biggest beneficiary of this development. Investment
in housing is a form of saving. It is a security for future generation. While housing loans

 
 in India are available at 7.5%, the prevailing rates in the U.S. are in 3-4% range. The
middle class would be the highest beneficiary if the interest rate spread on housing loans
were to fall further in line with global norms. The housing sector would experience
further expansion, there would be substantial generation of employment, and GDP would
receive a boost.

Retail Banking Group has emerged as the fastest growing segment within ICICI Bank
Ltd. Within RBG, retail channel and liability group mobilize the much-needed resources

Across the world retail banking has been the high volume-low value business proposition.
Enormous amount of resources are required to acquire and service customer in terms of
infrastructure and operation.

Given the current stage of evolution of the Indian market, we have adopted an
organization model that continuous to focus on product and on achieving attention and
dedicated services, and at the same facilitate the widening and deepening of customer
relationships.

The banking industry in India has undergone a sea of change ever since the economic form
process was initiated. There is no doubt that the banking industry continues to play a cardinal
role in spread heading the economic activity of the country. From an industry almost
monopolized by the nationalized bank till the 90¶s it has now emerged as a conglomerate of
nationalized, private and foreign banks setting new trends in the way banking is carried out.
The deregulation in the interest rates, grant of functional autonomy to the banks in the area of
credit, entry of foreign banks and emergence of new private banks has made the banking
environment. The whole Indian banking industry scenario is changing while the chunk of
other total share in bank credit continues to be dominated by public sector banks, the increase
boost given to foreign and private participation is expected to make banking more
challenging.

accepting deposits, and are resorting to other related activities. Any private or foreign banks
is found to have spread its wings across a variety of business starting from housing finance,
credit finance, credit cards, investment banking, internet banking etc. with a lot of thrust on
retail and consumer loans to lending to small and medium enterprises an agriculture. To

sustain the market share and maintain the profitability, banks including the nationalized ones
are trying to incorporate product diversity and with more focus on customer needs.
