About this listen
This is the story of Bandhan, the only bank that emerged in eastern India after Independence. Founded by the son of a sweet vendor, with a mere Rs 2 lakh, the sum total of his life savings.
On 17 June, 2015, Chandra Shekhar Ghosh stepped out of the Reserve Bank of India building in Mumbai with the much-coveted banking licence, beating some of the country's top corporate houses. This moment compensated for all the frustrations that had come along the way. A year later, Bandhan Bank was launched with 6.7 million small borrowers.
So, how did Ghosh build India's biggest MFI from scratch and then, along with his team, transform it into a universal bank? Bandhan: The Making of a Bank chronicles that journey.
This is also Ghosh's personal story-of a boy growing up in small-town Agartala struggling with poverty, but relentless in his ambition to make it big. He battles competition, hostile moneylenders, a tough economic climate and the perpetual lack of resources. Nobody in India perhaps knows better than him the psyche of a small borrower and the alchemy of doing business with the poor, profitably.
This is one of India's biggest entrepreneurial stories.

Too many mistakes in narration
Good book but way too many mistakes in the narration.
The narrator seemed overly occupied with his pronunciation and less so with voice modulation, appropriate breaks and accuracy of the speech.
must do a read while listen instead of just the listen.
additionally, the final appendices narration is missing

Inspiring.
Good listen for anyone interested in knowing about the history of the evolution of Micro Finance sector in India. Chronicles the journey of transition of Bandhan from MFI to a Bank. By far the best record of the journey of Bandhan's conscientious promoter in creating a universal bank.

Amazing book
Very nicely illustrated the story of Bandhan Bank along with last 2 chapters on BSFL and SKS shed light on what can go wrong with MFIs and stop them from achieving what Bandhan did.
