Two young management graduates, with nothing similar in family backgrounds and temperament, join the New York International Bank on the same day and take two entirely different routes to success. Both rise up the ranks at breakneck speed: fast and aggressive Sundeep, who would stoop to anything to get ahead, and the mature and sensible Swami, with a high regard for good old ethics. The racy narrative, set in the high-pressure milieu of competitive banking, emplots a clash of values in the intermeshed realms of the personal and the professional. It is a story peppered with ambition and frustration, deceit and malevolence, love and lust, and the desperate struggle for status and power. And, above all, there is a top-notch banker who plays the benevolent God whenever crisis looms over the young guns.
An insider's fictionalised account of how Indian professionals experience the world of foreign banks, the story spans three continents.
Ravi Subramanian, an alumnus of IIM Bangalore, has spent two decades working his way up the ladder of power in the amazingly exciting and adrenaline-pumping world of foreign banks in India. It is but natural that his stories are set against the backdrop of the financial services industry. He lives in Mumbai with his wife Dharini, a biotechnologist turned banker, and daughter Anusha.
If God was a Banker is his debut novel and first in the trilogy of banking chronicles.
