The Department of MBA at AIMIT, St. Aloysius (Deemed to be University) hosted an Industry-Academia Interaction Series on "Working Towards a Bright Career in Banking" on 27th September. The session highlighted career opportunities in the banking and financial sectors.

Mr. Ziaul Khan, Senior Manager at Karnataka Bank, was the resource person. He began the lecture by stating that India is gradually becoming the third-largest economy in the world, and provided details on the differences in the size of global economies. Representing an industry that has significantly contributed to national wealth creation, Mr. Khan emphasized that the banking sector is the most regulated in the world. He noted that 75% of the banking business is managed by just eight banks, and that with reduced interest margins, banks are increasingly focusing on customer retention. Additionally, he pointed out that the sector is now looking for talents with technological and market-smart skills.

For future bankers, Mr. Khan advised understanding the banking model and identifying the jobs in demand. He highlighted recruitment patterns, required skill sets, and certifications, urging students to acquire these skills in the coming months to become industry-ready.

The event began with a welcome address by Mr. Ronak, a 1st-year MBA student. Dr. Rajani Suresh, Dean of the School of Management, proposed the vote of thanks, and Mr. Vinay coordinated the program.
