From providing financial services to farmers and artisans in villages, to establishing footprints across the world, the ICICI Group has spread both its presence and its range of products and services to meet the demand for financial services from Indian corporates and individuals. As India transforms into one of the key economic players of the future, the ICICI Group seeks to partner the countrys growth by delivery of worldclass financial services. And for this, the countrys biggest private lender itself does not see any merit in acquiring a foreign bank at the moment and prefers to grow through the organic route in the domestic market. ICICI Bank Managing Director and CEO K.V. Kamath quotes Organic growth is the better way for us to grow further, we are an Indian bank and for boosting domestic operations we do not need to tie-up with foreign banks. If anything is needed for boosting the banks growth trajectory, it is more branches to service customers. ICICI has just about 1,000 branches, as compared to more than 10,000 branches of the countrys largest bank SBI. In such a scenario the project aims at contributing towards activation of business at the new branches that are the focus of bank for growth. When a new branch comes into operation then it has to adhere to various legal, social and political requirements. It has to maintain ICICIs brand image by providing the best of services for which ICICI is well known. The project covers various things like choice of geography of a new branch, requirement of staff, new branch targets, customer services, sales promotion etc.

HISTORY:
ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from nonJapan Asia to be listed on the NYSE. After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate
Page 15 of 93
relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a single entity. Phase I The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it Presidency Banks. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was established which started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders. In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935. During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks, the Government of India came up with The Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of 1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965). Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in India as the Central Banking Authority. During those days public has lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit mobilization was slow. Abreast of it the savings bank facility provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer. Moreover, funds were largely given to traders. Phase II
Page 16 of 93
Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after independence. In 1955, it nationalized Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale especially in rural and semi-urban areas. It formed State Bank of India to act as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union and State Governments all over the country. Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalized in 1960 on 19th July, 1969, major process of nationalization was carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in the country was nationalized. Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India under Government ownership . The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking Institutions in the Country: 1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act. 1955: Nationalization of State Bank of India. 1959: Nationalization of SBI subsidiaries. 1961: Insurance cover extended to deposits. 1969: Nationalization of 14 major banks. 1971: Creation of credit guarantee corporation. 1975: Creation of regional rural banks. 1980: Nationalization of seven banks with deposits over 200 crore. After the nationalization of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%. Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions. Phase III This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices.

The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than money. The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high, the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have limited foreign exchange exposure

I have been able to learn many things during this period. I have made use of both primary and secondary data. Primary data has been collected from survey of two more new branchesKirtinagar, Paschim Vihar both in Delhi. The collection of material for study has also been done through continuous queries from the project guide, faculty guide as well as employees of Branch. The sources of secondary data were Internet, ICICI Universe, E-circulars for ICICI employees and Literature on quality & New Branch Opening available with the branch. After collection the matter has been analyzed and worked upon.

THE URGE FOR NEW BRANCH OPENING
WHY NEW BRANCHES??

As India keeps on growing on an endless path of growth, there are immense opportunities for ICICI in Indian markets. It has a huge potential. ICICI Bank has a highly efficient team of executives and this is matched with the best of technology in the world and what it lacked was the number of branches. As mentioned before it has about only 1,356 branches as compared to more than 10,000 branches of the countrys largest bank SBI. ICICI Bank has so far acquired just two small-sized banks -Sangli Bank and Bank of Madura -- both in India. While its competitor HDFC has merged with the Centurion bank giving it a large market to work on. This merger made it the third largest bank, the second largest in number of branches. Here is a short comparative analysis of the three banks SBI, HDFC + Centurion Bank and ICICI with respect to their size:

CHART 1.2 COMPARISION OF ICICI, HDFC + CENTURION BANK AND SBI

Thus the table reveals the truth about the banking industry, and ICICIs share in it. But the thing is Indias top five banks together are currently smaller than the fourth or the fifth largest bank in China. And therefore there is a need to boost up Indian banking through expansion of already existing entities. ICICI is ready to follow the path of organic growth. Kamath says If we need a global size and scale in next 5-8 years, we need to start working now.... We need to create a framework for growth -- one route is consolidation, another is the organic growth. His statement depicts the whole picture for the matter of fact. This is the reason why there is a continuous urge for opening more and more new branches.

ACTIVATION OF BUSINESS AT NEW BRANCH

Activation of business at a newly established branch is a challenging task as it involves various formalities as well as practicalities. There are various things that are to be adhered to. For opening up a new branch the RLG (Regional Liability Group) team along with the RIG (Retail Investment Group) obtains the Banking License. The potential locations for the branch are finalized by Regional Head. Before choosing location a brief profiling of Geography and Demography of the locality is done. Then the lease deed has to be signed by the RIG, post that the process of creation of the branch will be initiated. The layout of the branch is created and discussed with the Regional Head and the RMBB (Regional Manager Branch Banking). And then in just 12 weeks RIG completes the setup, irrespective of the size of the branch. After this BM (The Branch Manager) and the RMBB collectively carry out various processes for the start of the branch. ICICI with such a fast mechanical sort of setup faces no much difficulty in opening more and more new branches. After the establishment of branch setup comes the challenging task of leveraging the setup for business, and generating more and more benefits. This involves thinking about many things like: Profiling of Demography and Geography
Page 43 of 93
Branch Staff Customer Services Increasing Customer Footfall at Branch Building Brand Image Target Mobilisation Implementing Five S for Continuous Improvement
Thus there are many processes and approaches to be followed to make the branch run a successful business. The above mentioned things are taken in detail to explain the business activation in a comprehensive way.
PROFILING OF DEMOGRAPHY AND GEOGRAPHY

Profiling of demography and geography of the location where a new branch is established is the very first step after the establishment of a new branch. There is a need to understand deeply the demography and geography of the area for better customer services.
GEOGRAPHY:
Consideration of geography of the area involves the following things to be kept in mind:
Page 44 of 93
Type of Area Population How far is the other branch? Transportation facilities available. How the location is approachable to the population. How the other banks in the area are approachable to the population? How many schools, police stations, hospitals etc. are there in the area?
DEMOGRAPHY:
While thinking of profiling demography one needs to take care of following things: How is the locality? Are people literate or illiterate? What is the major age group? What is the income group of major part of population? Are banking habits developed in the people or not? What types of societal groups are influencing life of people there? Do the people have saving habits or they need to be developed?
Page 45 of 93
There is a need to meet officials of all the RWAs (Residential Welfare Associations) in order to make them aware of the branch opening their nearby.
There is a need of collecting people and telling them about the opening of branch.
Thus, after the establishment of branch there is a need of thorough examination of the area in order to grab the maximum customer share and to create business for the bank.
BRANCH STAFF
Human Resource is the most important part of any organization; it is the only force that makes use of other resources for the fulfillment of objectives. A bank branch must have competent staff that encourages its growth and enhances business. There may be two dimensions of looking at branch staff when it comes to New Branch Business Activation, that is: From Selection and Training Perspective, And From The Perspective of Employee Grooming.
STAFF SELECTION AND TRAINING:

The RMBB with the regional head identify the BM (Branch Manager), BOM (Branch Operations Manager) and other staff members for the upcoming branches. A new branch should ideally have a mix of experienced
Page 46 of 93
and new staff members. It is always advised that the branch should have at least 30% of the members with greater than 6 months experience in the relevant branch operations.
Guidelines on Staff Allocation/ Training for New Branches:

While allocating staff to any new branch, the RMBB (Regional Manager Branch Banking) needs to have an optimum mix of employee resources with respect to the proficiency skills. It needs to be ensured that the basic functions of any branch always have at least 2 experienced (Greens) so that there is always a back-up for the crucial desks at the branch, based on the structure of the new branch, the following needs to be kept in mind while allocating staff: 1) Basic functions in any branch include: Account opening Teller operations Query desk handling Back office operations Term deposits
Thus the RMBB needs to ensure that the branch has at least 2 Greens in each of the above desks. 2) Categorisation of Branch: Based on the categorisation there could be additional skill areas required in the following cases:
Page 47 of 93
Stand Alone Branch:- In such a branch basic activities include Clearing (Inward/ Outward) CMS (Cash management Services)
Here also RMBB should ensure that there are 2-2 Greens at on each of the above desks. B category Branch:- Such a branch carries out the following services also; Foreign Exchange services On this desk also there must be at least two Greens. 3) Specialised Desks: The following could be classified under the Specialised Activities offered in Branches: Private Banking SEG and Trade Finance Demat NRI Products and Services
RMBB needs to ensure that branches have at least 1 Green in each of the above desks. The Demat desk should be activated only if an NCFM qualified person is available at the branch.These details are here presented in the form of a table:
Branch Type
RPC Supported Non-B Category branch
Minimum Number Of Greens

12 (6 Desks*2) 14 (7 Desks*2) 16 (8 Desks*2)
NOTE: RPC- Regional Processing Centre Apart from these the specialized desks like PBG to have at least 1 Green.
CHART 1.3 CATEGORISATION OF BRANCHES AND NUMBER OF GREENS
Branch Operations Manager (BOM):

It is essential for the person taking over as the BOM of the new Branch, to have a thorough knowledge on the following areas: Components of Audit Reports and tips for better audit scores Exception Handling and customer complaints at the branches Analysis of Branch Banking Metrics and tips for better performance
Page 49 of 93
Agnostic approach to all customer segments Rules on cheque payments including anywhere limits Detection, impounding and filing of FIR in respect of forged notes.
ICICI provides a special training program on all the above mentioned areas, which is called BOOST. It is delivered by the Regional Training Manager (RTM).
Branch Manager (BM):

ICICI provides a customized training program to all its proposed BMs that focuses on the different parameters of the Balance Score Card and the smooth functioning of the branch. BM too has to have a session with the RTM on this program.
EMPLOYEE GROOMING:
Employee grooming is an essential element of success of any organization. ICICI has a well defined structure for grooming its employees. It pays sound attention to the needs of its employees and provides various facilities for them. This can be seen from the following examples:
Induction Program:
The Structured Workplace Induction and Functional Training (SWIFT) has been in operation for last four years as an Induction training program for new joiners to the organization. Recently, ICICI has also launched Branch Leadership Program (BLP) for new Branch Operations Managers (BOMs) and Branch Managers (BMs). One of the important activities in these training programs is Branch Simulation Activity (BSA) where the participants are required to handle basic branch transactions like Cash payments, cash receipts, Account
Page 50 of 93
opening and DD/PO issue. The trainees process these transactions using Role play in the CEO (Customer, Employee and observer) format in the test data base of Finacle. In order to give them a look and feel of these processes, cash is withdrawn from one of the nearby branches and used for this exercise.
The ICICI Learning Matrix:

ICICI Group, one of the leading financial services group in India has deployed learning management system, `The Learning Matrix for aligning e-learning needs of its employees. Sum Total Systems, a global provider of talent and learning management solutions, and its global partner New Delhi-based NIIT Limited announced implemented the system as an enterprise application for aligning the e-learning needs of ICICI employees. This implementation has provided ICICI an efficient and cost-effective business learning management solution making training more accessible to its employees. In addition to its employees in India, ICICI Bank implemented Sum Totals solution in Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore and Bahrain. Sum Totals system supports e-Learning needs across multiple time zones and languages. In 2005, ICICI Bank earned one of the American Society of Training and Developments coveted BEST awards for enterprise-wide success through learning. Thus ICICI has a well maintained structure for employee grooming. It caters to various other needs of its employees too in an efficient manner. There are always rewards and perks for encouraging good performance. Such a mechanism makes ICICI a best place to choose for the employees. That is the reason why ICICI is always there on high ranks on the Employee Satisfaction Indexes.
Page 51 of 93
CUSTOMER SERVICES
Customer is considered to be the king of every business, and ICICI too follows this norm of business. ICICI aims at providing world class services to its customers through various simplifying mechanisms. ICICI has so far been successfully known as a bank that serves the customer at any cost with its catch line Hum Hain Na. Such attitude has brought the bank in the line of top banks in India. Currently it is the second largest bank physically and is one of the most trusted banking corporations. In the new branches too ICICI always aims at maintaining the same attitude and serving its customers to the best possible level. The various services offered at ICICI branches are analyzed here.
THIRTY BY THIRTY:
In order to ease Customer turn-out in the Branches and to enable faster servicing of Customers who visit Branches for Cash Transactions, it was earlier decided to enable Customer Service Desks in Front Office for Cash Transactions also. In order to further reduce the Customer Wait Time for transactions in Branches, it has been decided to go a step forward from Twin Skilling to Multi Skilling as a tool to service the Customers faster. This removes the dependency of one particular Service being handled at a specific desk in the Branch and also ensures Load Balancing at each Customer Service Desk.30 by 30 is a New Concept with an objective to reduce the Customer Wait Time and to service the Customers faster. The name emphasizes that there are about thirty kinds of services that are delivered at branches. And with the implementation of this concept everyone knows and delivers all thirty services at the front offices, reducing customer waiting time thereby. In a 30/30 scenario if there are 30 Customers present at a particular time & there are 30 Customer Service Desks in the Branch, all the Service Desks should be attending to one Customer each & there should not be any Customers waiting in the Branch.
Page 52 of 93
DYNAMIC QUEUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DQM):

The Dynamic Queue Management (DQM) Environment is suitable for implementation of 30 by 30. All the customers should be routed through the DQM. The DQM assigns customers to various Service desks and the Counter Number to which the Customer is assigned, is displayed on the Display Monitor with a Chime Assignment of Customers on FIFO basis: The Customers are assigned to the Service Desks by the DQM on First in First Out (FIFO) Basis. This means the Customer walking in the branch first & taking the Customer Service Request Number will be serviced first, as soon as any of the Service Desks gets free. Only Customers selecting the GOLD / Elite Privileges option on the DQM will be given priority by the DQM & will jump the Queue.
Page 53 of 93
The customer flow using DQM in 30 by 30 scenario would be as follows:
CHART 1.4 CUSTOMER FLOW IN A BRANCH USING DQM IN 30 BY 30 SCENARIO

Customer flow for cash transaction in Thirty by Thirty would take the following shape:

SERVICES FOR PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED:

The citizen charter of the bank mentions; "We will make our best efforts to make it easy and convenient for our special customers like senior citizens, physically challenged persons and illiterate persons to bank with us. This will include making convenient policies, products and services for such applicants and customers." To service the physically challenged citizens who bank with ICICI it has made mandatory a few changes in branches. Branches need to coordinate with RIG to get the same into action. By physically challenged it means person having a physical disability or impairment, especially one that limits mobility. The following steps are taken to provide service to physically challenged customers of ICICI bank. Designated branches display a signage on the exterior informing the customer that specialized service for physically challenged is available. Every branch to have 1 chair in the DQM area reserved for physically challenged citizens. BOM/BM/Officers at the front desk to ensure that at no point of time the physically challenged person is left unattended. The physically challenges person need not take a DQM token The physically challenged person should not be made to wait in queue. The designated officer handling senior citizens should service him. Whenever a Physically challenged customer comes into the branch, he/she should be directed by the lobby Manager to Designated Senior Citizen Desk, which shall also provide personalized services to these customers. Any suitable desk shall be converted to Senior Citizen designated desk with the display of Senior Citizen Desk.
Page 56 of 93
Designated Senior Citizen Desk at the branches between 8 am to 8 pm for servicing Senior Citizens/Physically challenged at priority to ensure minimum wait-time and personalized services.
A familiar face preferably local language speaking staff is welcome by physically challenged customers.
The Designated desk will also service other customers through DQM when not servicing Senior Citizen/Physically Challenged Customers.

The Customer Service Officer then will not take any DQM customer until Physically Challenged customer is serviced.
Foldable ramp will be provided at selected branches in major cities. Permanent ramp to be created in new branches wherever feasible.(List attached) Wheelchair will be made available on request at all the signature branches.

SERVICES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS:

To provide personalized services to this segment ICICI proposes following things to be done at branches:
Page 57 of 93
Every branch to have 1 chair in the DQM area reserved for Senior citizens. Whenever a Senior Citizen Customer walks in, he/she should be directed by the lobby Manager to Designated Senior Citizen Desk to provide personalized services.
Any suitable desk shall be converted to Senior Citizen designated desk with the display of Senior Citizen Desk.
Designated Senior Citizen Desk at the branches between 8 am to 8 pm for servicing Senior Citizens at priority to ensure minimum wait-time and personalized services.
Senior Citizens will be serviced at this desk by Customer Service Officer (CSO) for all their banking requirements other than DMAT and franking requirements and do not have to go through the standard DQM system (this is viewed as a intimidating to this age-group). The CSO, preferably should be in the system for more than six month's period so as to resolve multiple queries of Senior Citizen customers. A familiar face preferably local language speaking staff is welcome by Senior Citizen customers.
The Designated desk will also service other customers through DQM when not servicing Senior Citizen Customers. If Customer Service Officer is already servicing a customer through DQM at designated desk then the Senior Citizen customer will wait till that customer is serviced.
The Customer Service Officer then will not take any DQM customer until Senior Citizen customer is serviced.
Identification of Senior Citizen will be done by Senior Citizen showing specially designed Debit card or Senior Citizen Identity card or any other valid document, which has an age proof. Even those customers who appear to be senior citizen should be serviced by this desk without asking for the identification/ Age proof. A non-customer Senior Citizen would also be serviced through this designated desk. Page 58 of 93
Happy Investment Hours: During 3 pm to 5 pm the Senior Citizen Customers will be given expert advice and guidance on their investment queries by Investment & Services Sales Manager at Investment & Services Desk.
SUGGESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS BOX:

In every new branch there has to be suggestions and complaint box available with the branch manager. It is a very important part of the customer services offered by any bank. Customers should be free to contact Branch Manager in case of any dispute. And there should be a Notice on the Notice Board mentioning thet the complaint box is available with the Branch manager. The box is reviewed periodically, and the complaints and suggestions are worked upon. By providing such specialized services ICICI seeks to attain more and more customer satisfaction that will in turn increase its customer base and its popularity. A new branch has to make its positive image in the mind of customers and for this its services matter a lot. Thus the guidelines provided by ICICI to its new branches help them in doing so.
Page 59 of 93
INCREASING FOOTFALL AT NEW BRANCH

Increasing customer footfall at the newly established branch is a real challenge for the branch officials. New branches carry out various activities to attract the customers. These activities help the customers to know about the opening of branch, and about the various operations carried out at branch. These activities are like: Joggers Park Activity Distributing Pamphlets Publicity Through Canopies Through Personalized Dealings and Services Door to Door Services
Such activities are interesting to carry out and help the bank business a lot. Through these activities there is one more benefit and that is increased coordination among the employees, which is always beneficial in long run.
Page 60 of 93
BUILDING BRAND IMAGE

Brand Image is the force that makes a customer to go for a particular brand and not for the other. Creating a positive brand image in the minds of customer is not an easy task always; it has to be carried out carefully giving full attention to the needs of customers. ICICI has been continuously doing things to build its image amongst customers. Be it launching imobile, hiring the King Khan, or using Big B for the purpose. New branches always have an advantage of being linked with ICICI, since they get an image already built. They just have to make it stronger and for this they need to carry out operations in such a way that suits the image of ICICI. Corporate Attire also plays an important role in maintaining Brand Image. In keeping with the banks desire to provide its customers a Branded Experience. Corporate attire has been launched for the frontline employees at liability and asset branches. Frontline employees are those who are in eye of the customer. It is mandatory for each eligible staff member to wear Corporate Attire while on duty. This helps in contributing to provision of a great banking experience to its customers.
Page 61 of 93
TARGET MOBILISATION
A target is the reference point to shoot at; it is the goal one intends to attain. A new branch has its own targets beautifully set to maintain the brand and to fulfill the expectations from it. There is a definite time limit for completing the targets. Targets are set keeping in mind the investment done at the infrastructure of the branch as well as the overall Group targets. Various costs are analysed and then targets are set to cover them.
FORMS OF TARGETS:
There are targets for everything in a bank branch. Various forms of targets may be: CASA Targets: These are Current Account Saving Account Targets. Such targets are set for both saving and current accounts. A branch has to maintain that much accounts as its targets specify. The total number of accounts to be opened decides the run rate per day required to meet the target. For example, if a branch establishes a target of opening 3000 saving accounts in a year then it needs to go by a rate of opening around 8 accounts per day. The sales team members are to be told the targets well in advance.
Page 62 of 93
Fee Targets: Fee targets are set for those products that generate fee income for banks. A new branch has to pay dew attention to the Fee Income Products since they are pure income for the bank. Bank has to give nothing in return for it. Fee Income products include- Life Insurance Products, General Insurance Products, Gold and Mutual Funds. All these are very critical for the success of a new branch.
Customer Service Targets: An ICICI Bank branch is always known to provide best quality customer services. Therefore new branches have to maintain such a system that attains the overall target of serving a delightful experience to ICICIs customers.
IMPLEMENTING FIVE S FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Five S is a framework involving 5 pillars as its structural elements to support and maintain current and future improvements in an organization. It is an indispensable tool that creates miracles in an organization. ICICI has adopted this framework for better productivity and improving business. New branches also implement it at starting only to increase their business prospects. Many people do not believe that a neat and clean work environment aids production, however the fact remains that: A neat and clean workplace has higher productivity
Page 63 of 93
A neat and clean workplace is safe A neat and clean workplace meets deadlines better A neat and clean workplace produces fewer defects A neat and clean workplace is less hassle A neat and clean workplace isnt an embarrassment; in fact it is a source of inspiration and encouragement.
WHAT IS FIVE S??

Five S is a part of the Kaizen umbrella. Kaizen stands for a change which is carried out for good. Five S basically stands for five Japanese words that start with S. The table shows the Five Ss and their English conversion:

STRENGHTS:
1) Online Services: ICICI Bank provides online services of all its banking facilities. It also provides D-Mart account facilities on-line, so a person can access his account from anywhere he is. [D-Mart is a dematerialized account opened by a salaried person sale of shares of different companies.] 2) Advanced Infrastructure: Branches of ICICI Bank are well equipped with advanced technology to provide the customers with taster banking services. All the computerized for purchase &
Page 80 of 93
machines are located in suitable manner & are very useful to the customers & staff of the bank. 3) Friendly Staff: The staff of ICICI Bank in all branches is very friendly & help the customers in all cases. They provide faster services along with bonding & personal relationship with the customers. 4) 12 hrs. Banking services: Compared to other bank ICICI bank provides long hrs. of services i.e. 8-8 services to the customers. This service is one of its kind & is very helpful for the customers who are in urgent need of money. 5) Other Facilities to the Customers & Employees: ICICI Bank also provides other facilities like drinking water facilities, proper sitting arrangements to the customers. And there are also proper Ventilation & sanitary facilities for the employees of the bank. 6) Late night ATM services: ICICI bank provides late night ATM services to the customers. The ATM centers of ICICI bank works even after 11:00pm. at night in certain branches.
Weakness:

provided by them when compared to other bank & that is why it is only in the reach of higher class of society.
Page 81 of 93
2) Less Credit Period: ICICI bank provides credit facilities but only upto may annoy them.
limited period.
Even when the credit period is not over it sends reminder letters to the customers which
OPPORTUNITIES:
1) Bank Insurance services: The bank should also provide insurance services. That means the bank can have a tie-up with a insurance company. The bank will advertise & promote the
Page 82 of 93
different policies introduced by the insurance company & convince their customers to buy insurance policies.
2) Increase in percentage of Returns on increase: The bank should provide higher returns on deposits in comparison of the present situation. This will also upto large extent help the bank earn profits & popularity.
3) Recruit professionally guided students: Bank & Insurance is a special non-aid course where the students specialize in the functioning & services of the bank & also are knowledge about various tax policies. The bank can recruit these students through tie-ups with colleges. Such students will surely prove as an asset to the bank.
4) Associate with social cause: The bank can also associate itself with social causes like providing relief aid patients, funding towards natural calamities. But this falls in the 4th quadrant so the bank should neglect it.
THREATS
Page 83 of 93
1) Competition: ICICI Bank is facing tight competition locally as well as internationally. Bank like CITI Bank, HSBC, ABM, Standered Chartered, HDFC also provide equivalent facilities like ICICI do and also ICICI do not have consistency in its international operation.
2) Net Services: ICICI Bank provides all kind of services on-line. There can be easy access to the e-mail ids of the customers through wrong people. The confidential information of the customers can be leaked easily through the e-mail ids.
3) Decentralized Management: Each branch manager is given the authority of taking decisions in their respective branches. The decisions made by different managers are diverse and any one wrong decision can laid to heavy losses to the bank.
4) No Proper Facilities To Uneducated customers: ICICI Bank provides all services through electronic computerized machines. This creates problems to the less educated people. But this threat falls in the 4th quadrant so its negligible. The company can avoid this threat.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Page 85 of 93
CONCLUSION
There are too many banks competing for the bigger share of the market pie, giving neck to neck competition. A growing economy, greater consumer confidence and appetite for bank products, and greater thrust on technology have helped the more aggressive Public and Private Banks not just to grow their business, but drum their balance sheet into shape. In such a great business scenario ICICI is not behind anything. It is coming up with more and more products and new branches so that it becomes more approachable to customers. But with this it has to take care of many things. New branches need to be in line with ICICIs brand image. It is observed by the study that ICICI is continuously doing efforts to make its branches world class banking facilities. With maintaining its HUM HAIN NA attitude ICICI is on the way to great success ahead. The new branches are thus confronted with challenge of upcoming customer demands and maintaining standards. The study makes a clear picture of the things that are to be kept well in mind for generating business in new branches. The things like Branch Geography and Demography, branch Staff, Building same image, Increasing Customer Footfall etc. are to be taken care of for taking advantage of the new branches.
Page 86 of 93
RECOMMENDATIONS
In todays era when all the banks have tied up their seat belts for expansion, especially when ICICIs biggest competitor has merged with Centurion Bank, ICICI too needs to stand alert for gaining the bigger share of market cake. It needs to develop more attractive marketing strategies to make a more loyal base of customers. The new branches can play a significant role in this process by: Branches should adhere to and should always seek for making ICICIs image stronger. Selection of staff at new branches should be done very carefully keeping in mind the requirement of branch. There is a need for clear understanding of customers demands and problems for gaining a competitive edge. Five S can be an unbeatable tool for success if applied as per the policies; branches should take it seriously for their benefit. Employee satisfaction should be forced upon so as to reduce job hopping rate.
