Bank of India, one of India’s most trusted public sector banks, celebrated its 120th Foundation Day with a grand event at the Jio World Convention Center, BKC, Mumbai. The evening brought together employees, stakeholders, and partners to reflect on a legacy built on trust and to showcase the bank’s bold agenda for the future.
Speaking at the occasion, Shri Rajneesh Karnatak, MD & CEO, Bank of India, said:
“For 120 years, Bank of India has been more than a financial institution – it has been a partner in the nation’s growth story. As we step into the future, our focus is clear: to lead in digital banking, to champion inclusive growth, and to innovate for every section of society – from farmers and gig workers to corporates and the underserved. Our commitment is to serve India with agility, empathy, and vision.”
The celebrations marked the unveiling of next-generation banking solutions aimed at strengthening India’s digital economy and financial inclusion. From powering modern agriculture with the Star Agri Smart Finance Scheme, to enabling seamless trade through the BOI TradeEasy Platform, and pioneering exclusive products for gig workers, Bank of India positioned itself as a bank of the future, rooted in its century-old values.
The introduction of a Braille Debit Card reaffirmed the bank’s dedication to accessibility and inclusivity, while the Star Vyapar Shakti Current Account and Omni Neo Corporate Internet Banking underlined its commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and corporates with secure, tech-driven solutions.
Beyond banking, the evening also highlighted the institution’s social conscience. In the presence of the Board and senior leadership, CSR contributions were extended to:
• The Jaan Foundation Trust (₹9.9 lakh) to support shelter homes for victims of abuse and trafficking.
• Dabewala Roti Foundation (₹8 lakh) to strengthen hunger eradication and food-distribution programs in Mumbai.
The bank also celebrated excellence beyond finance, felicitating Ms. Nayana Sri Talluri, Asian Open Short-Track Speed Skating Championship medalist, for her sporting achievements.
Cultural performances by the Sunil Sale Troupe and a vibrant concert by Sukhwinder Singh and his band capped the evening with energy and pride, symbolizing both tradition and forward momentum
