We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Subir Gokarn, Deputy Governor, RBI, on a branch visit to the Pudhuaaru KGFS recently. At the branch, Dr. Gokarn interacted with the team and participated in the wealth management ritual. He remarked on the need to find ways to help customers bridge the gap between their financial goals and what their current surpluses were as well as the need to manage risks arising from livelihood shocks. He emphasised the importance of product design based on an understanding of household insights and internalising some of these insights across the organisation.
