Growth Story (Re-Hire)

“They say that your workplace can often become like a home away from home. Kotak has always felt that way, so returning to work here was the easiest thing. Here, I’ve found a company that gives you the space to nurture your entrepreneurial spirit, that backs you all the way and encourages you to venture into unchartered territory. This is a place for the self-starter. If you demonstrate the willingness to walk the extra mile, Kotak will partner you all the way. You have the room to make mistakes and learn from them so you can grow with the company.

On a personal level, what I truly admire about the senior leadership here is their humility, approachability and respect for employees. When it comes to the Kotak values, they truly walk the talk. You can be assured that if you have a view on what is the right for the company, you will be heard by those who matter, right from your manager to the Presidents. What makes the company truly special is how everyone at every level rolls up their sleeves and joins hands to get the job done. That is what I love about this place…this feeling that ‘No matter what, we’re in it together’. That’s the Kotak spirit.”

Beyond the glass ceiling

Review Mechanism:

To ensure that gender diversity is on the agenda of our leadership, we have a robust review mechanism in place. It is supervised by the top management at Kotak, which includes Uday Kotak, Dipak Gupta and Shanti Ekambaram. The objective of this review is to keep them updated on the initiatives planned, and see how many of them have been executed successfully. Gaps are identified and corrected, and when intervention is necessary, these leaders wield their influence to ensure that the company’s diversity goals are met. As a direct result of this process, attrition among women has gone down from 22% in the last financial year to 19% in the current one. A vast number of women employees have also moved up in their careers, through the development programs implemented.

Here’s what the women who’ve benefited from these initiatives have to say:

“It is a function of interest on the part of women and the choices they make. Globally, too, people are talking about how to increase penetration of women in the asset management space. But the same themes of stress and family keep coming up everywhere, whether abroad or in India.”
- Lakshmi Iyer, CIO (Debt) and Head of Product

“The Womentoring session was extremely enriching and motivating. It was very helpful to discuss all the practical aspects of balancing work and home. The experiences shared by Shanti madam will surely help each of us when we’re taking critical decisions. The session was a great source of inspiration, and will us achieve more both professionally and personally.” - Nivedita S Kumar, Trade PSM, Transaction Banking Group

The Kotak experience – A journey of true professional entrepreneurship

The day I was hired was that of surprise. A day when I realised that a new organisation was willing to experiment with me on a role which I was very keen to prove myself in but had no prior experience of. 3 roles later the journey still continues – that of taking up new responsibilities, of challenging the norm, of having the autonomy to steer your ship the way you want with the final destination in mind.

One of my first mentors had mentioned that Kotak is a place where they will tell you the goal and then allow you complete autonomy to reach that goal in a manner which you feel best with the given resources. And every day has been mostly that. Keeps you on your toes and keeps you going. The best part of the autonomy is that if you ever holler for help and need guidance, the organisation is full of colleagues right upto the most senior of them that have a true open door policy. They will guide you, help you course correct and set your ship in the right direction. It is just like running your own business albeit in a professional environment. Not a single day has gone by which would require one to think of how to keep motivated and excited.

Joining as a RM in ECG in 2003 (with a background in audit only), moving to Area Head and then Regional Head by 2009 was a fulfilling journey. Then I moved into a completely different role in the Business Head’s office at Corporate Bank, handling multiple responsibilities till 2015. And from there into the current role of leading the service vertical for our customers across all Wholesale Bank businesses. Every day, Every profile, every experience filled with stories of success, adrenaline of achievements and trumpets of recognition.

14 years and counting they would normally say. But who counts when the journey is filled with so much of excitement!!!
