 Commenting on the Bank’s performance, Shri C.S. Setty, Chairman, State Bank of India, said: “At SBI, our strategic direction continues to be guided by a simple philosophy - Digital First, Customer First and Nation Always.  During the quarter, we continued to simplify banking by expanding our flagship Operations Process Re-engineering project, SARAL, with the objective of making customer journeys faster, simpler and more convenient. We also introduced YONO Ji, an Agentic AI-powered virtual assistant on YONO Business, to provide our commercial clientele with round-the-clock support. We have extended our Business Rule Engine, MSME Dream, to cover SME loans up to ₹10 crore, enabling faster and more consistent credit decisions without compromising underwriting standards.

Technology is also strengthening our risk management framework. Through PRISM, our predictive stress monitoring platform, we are leveraging internal and external sources to identify early signs of stress in borrower accounts. This initiative also enhances our preparedness for the implementation of the proposed Expected Credit Loss framework. SBI is building not only for the next quarter, but for the next decade.

Our subsidiaries have also continued to perform strongly and remain leaders in their respective sectors. During the quarter, the successful listing of SBI Funds Management Limited marked an important milestone for the SBI Group and reinforced the value that our subsidiary businesses continue to create for all stakeholders.

As we progress towards our 75th anniversary in 2030, our focus is on creating the SBI of the future.”
