Throughout his extensive career, he has successfully spearheaded significant assignments and projects for the State Bank of India. His professional journey encompasses diverse roles in commercial banking, including corporate credit, treasury, retail, and international banking
The Managing Director position at the State Bank of India is highly prestigious due to the institution’s immense size and scale. Each MD shoulders responsibilities that surpass those of most banks in India, emphasizing the significance of Tonse’s appointment.
