Search firm Venator Search Partners, focused on the Banking sector, has assisted Utkarsh Small Finance Bank in its search for an Executive Director. Aligned with businesses at the core of Small Finance Banks, Venator Search Partners conducted a thorough search to help the bank appoint Pramod Dubey as ED. At Utkarsh Small Finance Bank, he will be responsible for all business verticals, including assets, collections, credit, and branch banking.
Dubey is a veteran of ICICI Bank. In his last assignment, Dubey managed operations of Rs. 13 lakh crore deposits and Rs. 12 lakh crore of assets with a team of 7,000 people.
His recent exposure has been in rural and agribusiness at ICICI Bank. He managed the loan book of Rs 91,000 crore across over 6,000 branches in 23 states and worked on expanding the market share and profitability of ICICI Bank’s Rural and agribusiness vertical.
With a strong focus on growth, Dubey has grown the branch banking business and has worked extensively across the northern and western regions. He worked in branches and grew to regional roles before moving into the corporate office in Mumbai. Dubey started his career in a large branch in New Delhi and subsequently moved to Pune. As he grew into the regional role, he was responsible for the Madhya Pradesh region of Bihar and Jharkhand. This helped him take on larger geographies and more significant responsibilities in retail banking.
“What sets Pramod apart is his humble nature, his attention to detail, and his never say “cant-do” attitude. He is as comfortable in the boardroom as he is visiting small towns to understand the needs of the farmers. We wish him the very best in his new career with Utkarsh Small Finance Bank,” said, Deepraditya Datta, Founder, Venator Search Partners.
