AU Small Finance Bank Enhances Living Standards for Frontline Employees with “House of Growth” Initiative
AU Small Finance Bank (AU SFB), India’s largest small finance bank, has introduced its “House of Growth” initiative — a thoughtful step toward ensuring a better quality of life for its employees working at the grassroots level. This effort reflects the bank’s recognition of the everyday challenges faced by the teams driving its microfinance operations across the country.
Currently, the bank is upgrading shared staff accommodations at 888 locations across India. These enhanced living spaces, housing five to six officers each, are being revamped to include essential amenities such as proper beds, reliable housekeeping, entertainment options, and common spaces for recreation. Through this, AU SFB aims to provide a more hygienic and comfortable home environment to 6,000–8,000 of its field and loan officers, individuals who begin their day at 7 a.m. and return late after traversing and serving multiple villages. The first upgraded apartments were inaugurated in Bassi, Rajasthan, marking the beginning of this much-needed transformation.
Sanjay Agarwal, Founder, MD & CEO of AU Small Finance Bank, shared his personal experience: “During my field visits, I witnessed firsthand the humble and often challenging living conditions of our employees—individuals who work with extraordinary commitment to bring financial inclusion to the most underserved corners of our country. Their resilience, dedication, and impact on transforming rural economies deserve more than just recognition—they deserve meaningful support. Initiatives like 'House of Growth' are a step towards recognizing their contributions and ensuring they have the support they need to excel in their roles."
