EMERGING CORPORATES BANKING (COMMERCIAL BANKING) Like in the past, Emerging Corporates Banking (ECB) strives to better its own performance benchmarks, with the customer being the focal point. Considering the customized servicing with this segment of companies – generally with the turnover ranging between ` 100 crore and ` 1,000 crore, the team creates and delivers on the expectations, of being a partner in achieving growth. In line with this approach and to be closer to the customer, ECB has expanded its ground presence, during the year, from 12 locations across the country to 17 locations. To further this, the Bank plans to be present in 24 locations during FY13. A CRM focused strategy, has been the core business development and management tool that ECB has been leveraging. To ensure maximization of knowledge management, the entire team in ECB has been structured on the lines of specific industries/knowledge verticals. This has not only helped the Bank in expediting the pace of business development within the industry, but has also enabled us to identify and execute better risk management practices, besides developing linked strategies for adjacent (or related) industry segments. The "Lifecycle Banking" philosophy has been instrumental in understanding the aspirations of the customers, and demonstrating the capability to influence sustainable growth and transformation in a large number of the Bank's customers, resulting in strong customer retention and loyalty along with a mutually enriching experience. With an aim to maximize capital efficiency, cross-sell has been integrated with the Bank's business development approach. Not only has this resulted in increasing capital efficiency, but also in increasing the number of touch points with the customer, leading to the generation of more business leads. The intense relationship with the top management and the promoters of the corporate/clientele in the process, has also led to strong referral-led business being originated. By constantly evolving innovative, sector-specific products and services, the Bank continues to provide thought leadership in key focus sectors like Food & Agribusiness, Life Sciences & Health Care, Media & Entertainment and Auto Ancillary. Each of these sectors have a significant multiplier effect in the

domestic economy.

ECB also offers a boutique of specialised services including Capital Markets, Corporate & M&A Advisory, Corporate Finance and Project Advisory and Finance in partnership with product groups to augment and suit the dynamic and varied requirements of the customers. MULTINATIONAL CORPORATES RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT As the Bank's clientele has grown, so has the requirement of the scope and breath of the services, products, and relationships to enable them to compete and thrive in a global environment. The Bank understands the financial needs of Multinational Companies, and their plans to increase their footprint in the Indian market. The Bank has leveraged the relationships to conclude key alliances with foreign banks and global institutions to scale up the revenue streams and product offerings. This has allowed us to develop an expertise in India's key foreign trade and investment corridors, and has enabled us to offer this expertise to both Indian and Multinational corporations through the business relationship teams, operating at a pan India level. The Multinational Corporations Relationship Management team has been institutionalized within the Bank to provide Knowledge Driven Banking solutions to MNCs present in India, as well as to those aspiring to enter India, as a strong HOST COUNTRY BANK.

Under this program the benefits offered to the defense personnel are continued post retirement as well. This program has been well appreciated and is seeing a lot of traction at our end. RBI vide its circular dated January 31, 2012 has permitted Private Sector Banks to handle Government Businesses as Agency Banks which opens up great opportunity for the Bank in terms of collection of various taxes (direct & indirect) on behalf of the Central & the State governments as well as to act as a banker to various State & Central Government Ministries.

INVESTMENT BANKING The Bank continued its efforts in building and enhancing its franchise as the partner of choice to its large and mid-market corporate as well as financial sponsor clients in their M&A and capital raising initiatives. Overall, the year had more than its fair share of challenges such as the EU sovereign debt crisis, sluggish recovery in US, natural disaster in Japan as well as domestic headwinds like high inflation, limited availability of liquidity and policy inaction leading in significant reduction in business confidence and growth. This resulted in Indian corporates holding back their capital raising and acquisition plans for most part of this year. The equity and convertible paper markets have also been sluggish with limited capital issuance. Despite the challenging macro environment, the Investment Banking team successfully completed several significant transactions across a variety of products and added new clients, taking the tally of total completed transactions to over 115, since inception. The main highlight of the Investment Banking team's performance in FY12 continues to be the diversity in the nature of assignments completed which include M&A (sell-side and buy-side; domestic and cross-border, in-bound and outbound), successful retail bond issuances, private equity fund raising and market placements. These transactions span across growth sectors of the Indian economy, and also sectors like Real Estate which have been out of favour with banks and the investor community lately, demonstrating the exceptional deal making skills in the Bank's advisory practice. The performance of the team is reflected in the consistent ranking received by the Bank amongst the top deal makers across prestigious league tables every year.

Inclusive & Social Banking In line with its Responsible Banking vision of mainstreaming sustainability within its core business operations and cognizant of the needs of 'The Next Billion' customers, YES BANK has launched a special division, Inclusive & Social Banking (ISB). The genesis of ISB dates back to December 2006 when the Bank launched YES SAMPANN, the first of-its-kind direct micro-finance initiative in technical collaboration with ACCION International. The mandate of ISB is to reach out to the un-banked and under-banked population (in urban and rural areas) by leveraging our branch network, technology edge and relationship capital in the Public, Private and Social sectors. Working with the guiding principle of Frugal Innovations for Financial Inclusion (FI4FI), ISB is continuously developing innovative business models and forging partnerships for seamless implementation of the same.

The Bank has entered into strategic partnerships with National Collateral Management Services Limited (NCMSL), National Bulk Handling Corporation (NBHC), Shree Shubham Logistics Limited (SSLL) and Geo- Chem Laboratories Private Limited for the same.
