Growth is real only when it is sustainable and serves the long-term interest of stakeholders. An aspiration for accelerated and sustained growth paved the way for the merger of erstwhile IDFC Bank Ltd and erstwhile Capital First Ltd on December 18, 2018. Thus, a new bank with a new DNA was born – IDFC FIRST Bank. The merger is a milestone in the history of the two institutions and marks the end of one journey and beginning of a new one.
