ICICI Bank to hire 6,000 this fiscal

The countrys largest private lender ICICI Bank will recruit up to 6,000 people this fiscal to cater to its business growth and expansion plans,a top official said Friday.

Our business is growing between 18 to 20 per cent and we are also adding branches… its expected that we would hire between five to six thousand people in our workforce, the banks MD and CEO Kochhar said. Most of the recruitments will be at the entry-level,she said.

Asked about the Banking Ombudsmens recent suggestion to ban pre-payments charges on floating rate loans and how ICICI Bank will be gearing up for it,Kochhar said,I think its a recommendatory discussion about action points. So we should wait for the clarifications to emerge.
