The Expertise Behind Credit Wisdom

The domain knowledge and technical frameworks within this platform are rooted in the 38-year career of Mr. N.R. Natarajan, a veteran banker who served as the General Manager of Indian Overseas Bank and later as the Executive Director of Vijaya Bank.

Entering the banking sector in 1962 as a Probationary Officer, Mr. Natarajan’s journey spanned nearly four decades of transformative industry changes. With a dual foundation in Commerce and Law, he specialized in Commercial Bank Credit, Industrial Finance, and Small Scale Industries (SSI) finance. His investigative expertise in Non-Performing Loan (NPL) portfolios and sick industrial units remains a benchmark for credit forensic audits.
