DARE - Because Entrepreneurs Do

YES Bank, India’s new-age private sector bank, is the outcome of the business acumen of its founder, Rana Kapoor. Established in May 2004, YES Bank has evolved into a customer-centric, service-driven, private Indian bank catering to ‘future businesses of India’. YES Bank is the only bank in the past 15 years to have been awarded a greenfield licence by the Reserve Bank of India.
A strong differentiating feature of YES Bank is its ‘Development and Knowledge Banking Division’ which goes beyond the traditional realm of banking, and focuses on key growth sectors like infrastructure, food and agribusiness, telecommunications, information technology and many more.
Under the leadership of Kapoor, YES Bank has become the first Indian bank to be the signatory to the United Nations Global Compact. Another milestone was the integrated, cross-asset platform treasury solution from Murex, which enabled straight-through-processing of all treasury transactions with rapid turnaround timing.
Prior to setting up YES Bank, Kapoor has worked with global financial leaders like Rabobank, ANZ Grindlays and Bank of America. The Chairman of Bank of America presented him the Eagle Pin, the highest professional recognition for consistent performance excellence.
Kapoor is a member of the Government of India’s
Board of Trade and a member of the Managing Committee of the Indian Banks’ Association, a premier body represented by top bankers. He is also an active member of the
Young President’s Organisation , a leading global forum of business leaders.
In recognition of his entrepreneurial skills, Kapoor was awarded the ‘Start-up Entrepreneur of the Year 2005’ at the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. In 2010, at the Global Indian Business Meeting hosted by Horasis, an independent international organisation committed to enacting visions for a sustainable future he was honored with the ‘India Business Leader of the Year’ award for his contribution to the Indian banking sector.
