The economic reforms undertaken in the last 15 years have brought about a considerable improvement in the health of banks and financial institutions in India. The financial markets today are sophisticated and encompass not only traditional banking institutions, but also many other financial entities such as insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, venture capital funds and stock and commodity exchanges that perform the function of financial intermediation. This development has been accompanied by the advent of market-based instruments of the stock and bond markets, financial products such as asset-backed securities, financial futures and derivative instruments.
The current challenges faced by the sector would be gaining profitability, reinforcing technology, maintaining global standards, corporate governance, sharpening skills, risk management and, the most important of all, to establish 'Customer Delight'. In this context, nothing could be more important than professional talent sourcing; using the search technique, which has proved more than cost effective in identifying the right leadership team.
