  • The eighties brought about dramatic changes to the underpinnings of the Indian economy, either through the unanticipated consumer demand, the body-blows to the banks, the deterioration of the credit culture, and most of all, the emergence of groups that taught India to think big. Arguably, it was the decade that saw irrevocable changes in the banking system, as well as the founding of some of India's biggest companies. It was indeed a mixed bag. But the scars and opportunities of the 1980s are there for everyone to see. Around such turbulent times, when the Indian Banking & Finance was going through some rough patch due to worrisome government policies and moves, an engineering graduate from IIT Delhi, with an MBA from IIM-A, N Jaya kumar, had just ventured into the shape shifting banking industry in India. No sooner had he arrived, he became one of the first members of the Citicorp Investment Bank in India. N Jaya, also fondly known to his colleagues as Jakes, had joined as a management trainee in 1985. He worked his way up in different roles over the course of time including being part of the money market securities division, and financial control, eventually taking charge of the corporate finance and merchant bank as the Vice President of the Citi Group in 1990.
