Zonal Head - 2 Wheeler LoanMy journey with IDFC FIRST Bank started over 12 years ago when I was recruited directly by our CHRO, Adrian Andrade into the erstwhile Capital First while pursuing my MBA from Dayalbagh Educational Institute.
A sense of mutual respect and mindfulness permeates our culture-in fact, it’s the key to our success.
At IDFC FIRST Bank, campus programs are designed to identify and nurture future leaders. These programs go beyond traditional training; they immerse young professionals in real-world challenges from day one. With structured learning, mentorship, and exposure to diverse roles, the Bank ensures that fresh graduates can accelerate their careers in a dynamic environment.
As a campus hire, I have experienced the transformative journey at IDFC FIRST Bank. Joining as a Management Trainee in 2016, I was given opportunities that tested my skills and expanded my horizons. The program didn’t just prepare me for my first role — it laid the foundation for a career built on growth, adaptability, and leadership.
I started my journey in Ludhiana, working on Pre-owned Car Loans, then moved to Bhopal for a similar role. In 2019, I transitioned to Surat to manage Premium Car Loans across Surat and Baroda, leading a team of four sales managers. When the pandemic hit, I embraced a new challenge in the 2-Wheeler Loan segment, eventually overseeing Gujarat and now the Central Zone. Today, I lead a large team driving growth across multiple states, and every milestone reflects the opportunities this Bank offers.
