Entry Title: Ganesha's Turnaround from A Sleeping Bank through Growth and Innovation

Essay

Bank Ganesha ("Ganesha") is a leading private bank within BUKU2 (core capital IDR 1-5 trillion) category. Established in 1990, Ganesha was practically asleep for the first 24 years since inception. The previous management was dedicated but lacked the skills, strategy and capital. Consequently, Ganesha offered only basic products to tiny customer base and lacked public awareness.

Progress happens when Surjawaty Tatang ("Wati") was recruited and started to bring drastic changes. Within two year, despite challenging macroeconomic backdrop, Wati led management team through a period of rapid turnaround and growth; consequently delivering record financial performance by formulating new strategy, aligning initiatives and focusing efforts on key areas with greatest impact and long-term value creation.

Achievement Spotlights:

Building Scale through Strategic Alliances:

Wati bridged partnership with Mitra Adi Perkasa ("MAP"), Indonesia’s biggest retailer (150 brands incl. Zara, Marks&Spencer, Starbucks with 2,000 outlets) and introduced new products including Ganesha-MAPClub Savings, whereby Ganesha borne MAPClub Points as acquisition incentive and monthly interests to depositors.
First of its kind, Ganesha-MAPClub drives low-cost funds and serves as entry point for cross selling. Reciprocally, this encourages depositors to buy more MAP products and ultimately increases revenue.
Wati intensified Salary Loan and Payroll Savings for sister companies’ employees. Contrary to other Unsecured Personal Loan products, Salary Loan has miniscule 0.6% NPL since employees receive monthly salary and repay installment from payroll savings.

Financial Management and Inorganic Growth

Wati led team in conducting Initial Public Offering in 2016 to strengthen long term funding structure.
Oversubscribed 13x, the IPO saw robust demand from investors, who were sold on new management and strategy, amidst market condition and tight competition for funds. Post IPO, Ganesha closed 2016 with Capital Adequacy Ratio of 34.9%; a massive 20.5% improvement. Shareholders' equity rose 407%, enabled Ganesha to ascend to BUKU2 classification and offer more products including Mobile/Internet Banking, Credit Card & Trade Finance.
