Bandhan Bank, one of the youngest Banks in India, has been bucking the trend by driving growth in the so-called ‘un-bankable’ and 'riskier' segment of the population. It is also doing so in a manner, which is much more profitable and prudent than those demonstrated by the incumbent Banks.
We believe that Bandhan Bank with its focus on the resilient rural economy will stage a strong comeback, as the economy recovers. The current attractive valuations only reinforce our conviction.
