Considering the national objective of a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025, Indian banks need to mobilize their manpower to provide Trade Finance on a much higher plateau than at present in order to bridge the demand supply gap. The fact that majority of the work force has less than five years of experience or left over service, banks are experiencing huge knowledge gaps.
