Introduction
Symbiosis School of Banking Management was established in June 2010. Banking in India has come a long way traversing three distinct phases: the era of nationalization and priority sector lending, the era of financial sector reforms in the nineties and now the era where technology enabled, customer focused financial conglomerates operate in multiple segments of the financial sector. The demographic profile of the country, the steady growth in savings, consumption and investments will only add to the existing challenges and require banks to innovate and bring a wider range of financial services to the door step of the next generation consumer. Banks would be requiring a new genre of management professionals to meet the emerging challenges. This programme has been designed as a contemporary, rigorous, innovative and practical source of management education specifically applicable to the Banking and Financial Services sector. It would cater to the growing needs of the BFS industry providing a pool of talented young executives who would be thoroughly trained and ready to shoulder responsibilities in the banking and financial sector.
