22.07.2026 – New Delhi, India – Bandhan Bank, India’s largest private sector bank, has announced its plans to further expand its operations in the country’s rural economy. The bank, which has been at the forefront of financial inclusion in India, has been instrumental in providing banking services to millions of Indians living in rural areas.
In a recent statement, Chandra Shekhar Ghosh, Managing Director and CEO of Bandhan Bank, said, “We are committed to taking banking to every nook and corner of the country, especially to the underserved and unserved rural areas. Our vision is to provide inclusive and affordable financial services to the common man, and we are confident that our expansion plans will help us achieve this goal.” Bandhan Bank has already achieved significant success in this area, with over 50% of its customers residing in rural areas.
