"Exhilarating journey so far: 15 years, 3 different functions, 11 different managers, North, East, West, South - all parts of the country, challenging and most fulfilling to say the least….and it keeps getting better !
The culture at SBI Cards is incredibly empowering with the core values that align with mine, it defined my career by satiating my need to grow, learn, be challenged and inspired. Great professionals ensured that I knew from the very first day where I fit in the organization and how I can contribute to success of the business, along the way put me in positions to maximize on my strengths, empowered me to make decisions without fear, respected me for my abilities and inspired me by demonstrating honesty, fairness & trust in their actions."
Anurag Singh, Deputy Vice President, Co Brands Partnership Cards
"The 8 year journey with SBI Card has been, thus far, a roller coaster ride with ups and even more ups; one that has been enriching through experimental learning. With a culture that encourages imagination and innovation at work, one doesn’t just create change but lives the change every day.
Having worked across geographical areas and cultures, the exclusivity to the organization is the leverage one gets to learn from mistakes & lead from the front. With a willingness to take risks and accept challenges, one is exposed to diverse culture. The organization’s mission is to nurture home grown talent; providing tools to ensure employees excel and reach higher levels of their potential, not just professionally but as individuals as well."
Rohit Suri, Asst. Vice President, Co-Brand Marketing
"I joined SBI Card in 2006 as a Functional Trainee. My 8 year journey has exposed me to multiple roles and responsibilities panned across various business functions like Collections, Compliance, Business Development and Marketing. From individual contributor to team manager, from back end operations role to front end customer facing stints, complete the full business circle for me. The organisation has provided me with the much needed impetus to grow as a professional and imbibe critical skills that accelerate one towards excellence. Our Values and Culture ensures great managerial and behavioural traits on display all around us. At SBI Card we make life simple not just for our customers but for employees too."
Nandini Malhotra, Vice President, Risk Management
"6 years stint with SBI cards has been truly rewarding both from a professional and personal standpoint. The company has evolved in leaps and bounds ... from issuing 15-20K cards per month to ~70K cards per month. This dynamic and fast paced environment has challenged all of us to continuously adapt and respond to the times. We have fostered a culture of innovation and openness, which makes it a great place to learn and work. It reminds me of Robert Frost’s famous lines: “The woods are lovely, dark and deep but I have miles to go before I sleep"."
