0:09 - 0:12The best part
of Mumbai is the people. -
0:12 - 0:15I've been here all my life,
so I know a lot of people, -
0:15 - 0:17all over the city.
-
0:17 - 0:19Anytime I go anywhere,
I meet people -
0:19 - 0:22whom I've known for years.
-
0:23 - 0:27I do love my cup of tea,
and I like my newspaper. -
0:27 - 0:31When I open a newspaper,
it will always be the sports page. -
0:31 - 0:33It's my time
to relax. -
0:33 - 0:37Once I finish my newspapers,
I start for my office -
0:37 - 0:40and just be prepared
for a great day ahead. -
0:40 - 0:43My name is Mahesh,
and I am Chief Financial Officer -
0:43 - 0:46for J.P.Morgan Chase
in India. -
0:47 - 0:48We are a cross border bank.
-
0:48 - 0:51We specialize in taking
Indians to the world, -
0:51 - 0:53and the world
to India. -
0:53 - 0:57Anything specific within Ujjain
you want us to cover? -
0:57 - 1:00I am not just a Chief Financial
Officer managing finance, -
1:00 - 1:02but I have other areas
of responsibilities, -
1:02 - 1:06which is Technology Operations
and Human Resources as well. -
1:06 - 1:08I think that someone like you can
make an impactful presentation. -
1:08 - 1:10The trickiest
part of my job -
1:10 - 1:12is that the world
around is changing. -
1:12 - 1:17All clients expect things to be
better, faster, and cheaper. -
1:17 - 1:20I have a team that
consistently delivers. -
1:20 - 1:22Always exceeding client
expectations. -
1:22 - 1:24We've got to scale it up
even further because -
1:24 - 1:27we're going to take it
to other cities across the state. -
1:29 - 1:32Sometimes people
misunderstand banking -
1:32 - 1:34as something very generic
that any accountant -
1:34 - 1:35would be able
to understand. -
1:35 - 1:39In banking, what you need
to first understand is the products. -
1:39 - 1:41And then you need to
understand the client needs. -
1:41 - 1:44We're pretty intensive engagement
for the next couple of years. -
1:44 - 1:45That might be good
for us as well. -
1:45 - 1:48And that is not
built overnight. -
1:48 - 1:50I joined the company
27 years ago. -
1:50 - 1:54When I look back, we were a handful
of employees, like a startup. -
1:54 - 1:56And we had ambitions
to grow. -
1:56 - 1:59At that time, I knew
nothing about banking. -
1:59 - 2:02As the client franchise
grew, we were a rep office, -
2:02 - 2:05and we expanded
into full scale branch license. -
2:05 - 2:07So at that time,
I had to really understand -
2:07 - 2:09the banking
regulations. -
2:09 - 2:11Then we acquired
a securities company, -
2:11 - 2:12Leaders Investment Bank.
-
2:12 - 2:15They also had an asset
management firm. -
2:15 - 2:17I had to learn
those businesses. -
2:17 - 2:20From purely being an accountant
into a banking professional, -
2:20 - 2:24that is what is exciting
as a journey for me. -
2:24 - 2:27Sometimes you feel that you are
working with the same company, -
2:27 - 2:29but everything around
you has changed. -
2:29 - 2:31The tools
have changed. -
2:31 - 2:32The technology
has changed. -
2:32 - 2:33The clients
have changed. -
2:33 - 2:35The demands
have changed. -
2:35 - 2:37And you, too,
have changed, for better. -
2:37 - 2:40And that's been
a great satisfaction for me.
