He his blissfully married to Gunjan . Stuti is their beautiful 2 year old daughter. Sandeep Pandya, in an interview for Page 3, gets nostalgic and speaks his heart out about his alma mater and shares memorable moments of association with IBSAF. 

A peek into your life

I joined IBS after my graduation in engineering.  After successfully acquiring a Management degree, I joined Tata Finance in the Asset Financing and Treasury Dept.  Thereafter, I moved to IDBI Bank in Pune, to work as a Relationship Manager- Cash Management Services. I now head the Product Sales of ICICI Bank, looking after Transaction Banking and Corporate Clients.

Lessons for Life from IBS

I came to IBS with an engineering background, where studies were predominantly individualistic. At IBS the teaching methodology catered to the needs of the industry. It was very interactive and helped me greatly to learn to work in teams.

Alumni in Alma Mater

I cherished every moment of mine while I was in IBS Hyderabad, one of the premier institutes in India. I had an opportunity to be a panel member on the Admissions Board , which is indeed a great honor!
To me, to be associated with my Alma mater in what ever way possible, will be a role to reckon with.

IBS Then  ……  
    IBS Now……..

I studied at IBS from (1997-1999). A single building accommodated a batch size of around 100 students.  IBS now is on a sprawling and splendid campus of 100 acres. It has grown immeasurably in just few years, and I think the factors responsible for it are

  • Passion to Excel
  • World Class Facilities
  • Excellent and Dedicated Faculty members.

Experience to remember

All my experiences with IBSAF have been very memorable. I am glad I have met so many alumni on the platform that IBSAF offers.  I would love to meet more of my batch mates in the forthcoming meets and events organized by IBSAF.

Changes in Banking Sector leading to new avenues

Banking over the years has emerged from providers of working capital finance to a universal financial institution offering a host of complex financial products in wholesale and retail banking. Technology provides a competitive advantage to banks in supporting these products. Technology can help banks to move up the value chain from merely transaction processing to supporting global operations and innovative risk management tools. Banking has a good future and it provides a diversified career options.

Driving force behind India’s new position
 India has made its name globally. The credit goes to the young and dynamic intelligentsia of India. They are the dynamic workforce behind what India is globally today.

Chalk your dreams young
The suggestion I would like to give the young starters is JOIN IBS WITH A CAREER IN MIND AND NOT JOB.
 This is a good time to realize your skills and your passions.
