To demonstrate IFBI Success, Mr. Venkatesh mentioned about the partnership with Dhanalaxmi Bank.

IFBI partnered with Dhanalaxmi Bank (DBL) in June 09 to help it realize its ambition of becoming one of the Top 5 private banks in the country in record time. The DBL-IFBI partnership opened up opportunities for placement, special programs in retail banking, testing and examination services from IFBI as well as corporate training.

In a short time the DBL-IFBI collaboration has proved fruitful. Five special batches were conducted at Chennai to meet the requirements of the bank at Tamil Nadu and Kerala-to serve the Banks needs for domain knowledge, application skills as well as familiarity with local language.
