Indian banks, despite facing operational, regulatory, reputational, competitive, and technological risks, have effectively managed global macroeconomic fluctuations and interest rate volatility challenges.

The industry's outlook appears promising, driven by the introduction of non-traditional players, the ongoing digital revolution, and government initiatives aimed at bolstering financial inclusion and digital payments, among other contributing factors.
