The farewell was attended by Parvez Ahmed, chairman and CEO, and Vagesh Chander, executive president. Presidents PK Tikoo and Abdul Rashid Shegan, along with vice-presidents and other senior officers were also present on the occasion. Baru was presiding over the bank's supervision and control department. The chairman commended Baru's honesty, dedication and soft demeanour throughout her career.
