graduation in Physics. Thereafter, he obtained a Master’s Degree in English
Literature. Mr. O.P. Bhatt started his banking career as a Probationary Officer with State

with SBI, held several important assignments in India and abroad including
stints at the Bank’s London and Washington Offices. more>>
He was the Project Coordinator
for the Bank’s computerization project from where he moved on to
Regional Manager at Jaipur and then as Executive Secretary to the then
Chairman of the SBI Group.
After his return from Washington, Mr. Bhatt has held a number of critical
assignments first as General Manager at Lucknow, later as Chief General
Manager of the Bank’s North East Circle and then as Managing Director of
State Bank of Travancore, a subsidiary of the State Bank of India.

of India's largest commercial bank, he is also the Head of the entire

consists of 8 domestic and 5 international banking subsidiaries, besides
10 non banking subsidiaries, and 2 Joint Ventures. Besides chairing
these companies,
Mr. Bhatt is also the Chairman of the Banking & Financial Institutions

with the Top Management and has been taken right down to the grass root level.
‘Parivartan’ – a change management capsule programme, which was the brainchild
of Mr. Bhatt and is hailed by the industry, as the largest ever programme of its
kind, covered 1,30,000 employees of SBI in 100 days.
The Bank, under Mr. Bhatt, has made rapid strides during the past two years –
arresting falling market share, rapid branch expansion – the Bank opened its
10,000th branch this year – the first Indian bank and only the second in the
world to do so, and entering a number of new businesses. A testimony to this is
the number of awards conferred on the Bank and on Mr. Bhatt including the
“Banker of the Year” by Business Standard and CNN-IBN Indian of the
Year for Business, both in 2007. The Bank has, under the aegis of Mr. Bhatt,
steadily improved its Global ranking from 107 in 2006 to 70 in 2007 and 57 in
2008. The Bank’s ranking in the list of Fortune 500 companies has similarly
