Nobody knows it better than Amitabh Guha that scripting a success story in the banking sector requires a focused vision of action and an enthusiastic brigade of employees at all layers. This is precisely what Guha has been consistently pursuing during his long stint in the banking world. He believes that the success in a banking system comes from intelligent management of profit. For quite some time, Guha has been heading the State Bank of Hyderabad, and as its Managing Director, his prime target has been to achieve pre-eminence in banking and financial sectors with commitment to excel in customer satisfaction. He also aims at profit maximization and emphasizes on developmental banking through a skilled and committed work force by providing training facilities and technological upgradation. The largest Associate Bank of the State Bank of India, the State Bank of Hyderabad was constituted as Hyderabad State Bank in 1941 under Hyderabad State Bank Act, 1941.

The Bank started with the unique distinction of being the central bank of the erstwhile State of Hyderabad to manage its currency - Osmania Sikka and public debt apart from the functions of commercial banking. The first branch of the Bank was opened at Gunfoundry, Hyderabad on 5th April, 1942. In 1956, the Bank was taken over by Reserve Bank of India as its first subsidiary and its name was changed from Hyderabad State Bank to State Bank of Hyderabad.

The Bank became a subsidiary of the State Bank of India in 1959. Guha has been instrumental in infusing a sense of healthy work culture among the employees of the bank and in the age of globalisation, the State Bank of Hyderabad has been absorbing all the latest technologies in the working of the bank to cater to all the financial needs of the customers. Commitment to customers coupled with quality is the hallmark of the State Bank of Hyderabad, and for sure till a banker like Amitabh Guha steers the bank, you really need not worry for its financial health.
