About Ashu Kumar

I\'m a banking professional with over a decade of experience across retail, corporate, and trade finance roles. After completing my MBA in Finance from IIM Kashipur, I’ve continued to work closely with teams and customers to solve real business challenges, whether it\'s helping a client navigate complex forex regulations or building a team that delivers consistently on service and compliance.I’ve had the opportunity to work across different banks, leading branch operations, managing trade and forex products, and driving revenue goals. Over the years, I\'ve learned that strong processes, clarity in communication, and trust within teams go a long way in achieving outcomes.I enjoy working at the intersection of customer need and operational execution, and I’m always looking to improve how we work, be it through better training, simpler workflows, or just listening more closely to both customers and team members.
