Abstract
Many were shocked when a young, barely 24-year-old HDFC Bank surpassed the State Bank of India (SBI) in market valuation even though SBI was the largest lender in the country with the size of its balance sheet several times larger than that of HDFC Bank. It was like the Bible story of David versus Goliath. The market was laughing at SBI and this had to change. SBI must reinvent itself, and sufficiently fast, if it was to reclaim its pride of place in Indian banking and grow into a world class successful bank. The big questions were what would it take to turn the tables and where to begin? Before preparing a strategic plan for SBI, it was necessary to understand the business model of HDFC Bank and its secret of success. A realistic financial SWOT analysis vis-a-vis HDFC Bank would show the way to enhance competitiveness and improve performance.
