SBI is a big name and 5 banks in one go is definitely a big number. It all happened because of your hard work . Congratulations Mr. Sen :-)
ReplyDeletePlease continue providing more updates on the finance hub.
From the summary of the pre-bid meetings minutes, Oriental Bank of Commerce , GIC and Bank of Maharashtra seemed to be keen initially. Perhaps some small tweakings in our offer could also have made them interested to come on board.
The more site visit happens in Financial hub...more the development of New Town as an investment destination will be recognized and appreciated.
We should invite individually each of these corporate honchos , along with their CMDs and CEOS, in New Town and make them go around the place.
Now, with such large number of PSU banks already on board, we should start targeting the prvt sector banks like HDFC, ICICI, DCB, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Yes Bank etc and perhaps now , we should explore what do they want and offer them a compelling proposition.
ReplyDelete17 FIs committing investment in a greenfield finance hub is a big number. The next rounds , will be smoother , hopefully, as there is a critical mass in place already.
