Bank of Baroda, a leading Indian public sector bank, has aced a strategic move by signing the rising tennis star Sumit Nagal as its brand ambassador.
This strategic partnership aligns perfectly with Bank of Baroda’s commitment to connecting with a younger generation. Nagal’s impressive achievements, including his recent qualification for the Paris Olympics 2024 and his current No. 71 world ranking, make him a role model for aspiring athletes.
Commenting on the association, Debadatta Chand, Managing Director and CEO, Bank of Baroda, said, “Bank of Baroda has a rich legacy of partnering with and extending its support to some of India’s most promising sporting talent early on in their careers. We are delighted to welcome Sumit Nagal to the Bank of Baroda family. Tennis is a global, highly competitive and demanding sport and this makes Sumit’s journey and what he’s aspiring to achieve all the more inspiring and extraordinary. The collaboration between the Bank of Baroda and Sumit will go a long way in promoting the sport in India and helping the bank reach out to younger audiences.
“Sumit’s commitment, perseverance, passion, and authenticity are just some of the attributes that define him; values that Bank of Baroda holds dear as well. 2024 is already proving to be a breakthrough year for Sumit and over 80,000 Barodians are cheering him as he strives to achieve his dreams and make the country proud.”
Nagal expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, “I am honoured and privileged to be associated with the Bank of Baroda and would like to thank them for putting their confidence in me. Bank of Baroda is a leading, trusted Indian financial services institution that empowers the dreams and ambitions of millions and I eagerly look forward to this association.”
Bank of Baroda’s brand ambassador portfolio gains strength with the addition of Nagal, joining the ranks of badminton champion PV Sindhu and the cricket prodigy Shafali Verma. This strategic selection reflects the bank’s unwavering commitment to supporting Indian athletes across various sports.
As a leading public sector bank, Bank of Baroda offers a comprehensive suite of financial products and services. Individuals can find solutions for their personal banking needs, including accounts, loans, and investment options. The bank also caters to corporate banking needs and offers services for NRIs. With a vast network of branches and ATMs across India, the financial institution is a one-stop shop for all banking requirements.
Last year, Nagal also secured brand endorsements from ASICS and Gatorade.
