Barons of Banking highlights the contributions of six distinguished personalities from the world of banking: Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala, Sir Purshotamdas Thakurdas, Sir Chintaman D. Deshmukh, A.D. Shroff, H.T. Parekh, and R.K. Talwar. They not only played a pioneering role in the growth of the institutions they founded or were actively associated with, but also left an indelible mark on the banking industry as a whole. Through the narration of the history of five key institutions: the Central Bank of India; the Reserve Bank of India; the State Bank of India; the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Ltd; and the Housing Development and Finance Corporation Ltd, the author gives us a keen insight into the contributions of these luminaries to banking in India. Also included is a narration of the recommendations of important committees and commissions which influenced the course of Indian banking.
