As CEO of GCC operations of the Bank of Baroda, Ashok Gupta is in charge of the Indian lender’s expansion across the Middle East. In August last year, Gupta signed a memorandum of cooperation on behalf of the bank with Dubai Multi Commodities Centre to enhance trade flows between the lender and the emirate.
Gupta seems to be on the right track too; business at the bank’s Abu Dhabi operations rose by an impressive 36 percent in the last financial year. Bank of Baroda is also helping Abu Dhabi’s new industrial zone win foreign investment.
As well as his position at Bank of Baroda, Gupta is a member of the General Council of the All India Bank Employees Association. Gupta holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce from Delhi University.
