ICICI Bank has received all these accolades on the basis of a selection process by KPMG, the knowledge partner for these awards. KPMG shortlisted three candidates in each category after evaluating the participants on the basis of three main parameters - growth, size and strength. Finally, the Jury chose the Bank as the winner in three categories.

The Bank has been adjudged as the winner in the 'Bank of the Year' category on the basis of a combination of financial performance and some qualitative parameters decided by the Jury. This is the biggest honour in the annual awards programme of Business Today.

We have been chosen as winners in two other categories - 'Best in Talent and Workforce Management' and 'Best in Fintech Engagement'.

1. Best in Talent and Workforce Management: ICICI Bank won this award for digital innovations in talent acquisition and learning models. The Bank's initiatives like iTravelSafe, travel accompaniment, Quick Response Teams (QRT) and self-defence training for women employees, which promote gender diversity, were highly appreciated. Our future ready workplace initiatives like agile teams, hybrid models of working, removing grade based hierarchies along with our innovative people support and people management practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, were also recognised.
2. Best in Fintech Engagement: The Bank won this award for developing the Connected Banking platform - Bank Connect 2.0, which offers ICICI Bank customers a host of features for their daily business banking needs.
