President of the Cold Stores Association, Majid Aslam Wafai, along with dozens of entrepreneurs, participated in the interactive session conducted by the Industrial Association Lassipora, representing hundreds of unit holders housed in one of the leading industrial centers of North India.

During the session, MD & CEO assured the participants of the bank’s continued patronage and handholding to the industrial sector within regulatory norms.

He further insisted that the turnaround time of credit proposals would be minimized further with the introduction of more digital platforms. He stated that it was time for the bank and the industrial sector to join hands to take the economic prosperity of the UT to another level.

Haji Muzaffar, while calling J&K Bank “Humara Apna Bank,” said, “It gives us immense pleasure that you have come to listen to the people who consider J&K Bank as their own bank and J&K’s backbone. We have gone through thick and thin, but our trust and connection with J&K Bank hasn’t dwindled a bit.” He added, “However, we expect J&K Bank to realign some of its strategies to keep pace with changing scenarios in the industrial sector.”

Majid Wafai hailed the bank management headed by MD & CEO for giving a patient hearing to unit holders. He stated, “Our units wouldn’t have materialized had there not been financial support from J&K Bank. The majority of us are first-generation entrepreneurs, and J&K Bank has guided and supported us in setting up these units. Our successful journeys are synonymous with J&K Bank, and it gives us heart and hope that our mentoring financial institution has embarked on the path of renewed success and profitability.”
