80% of organisations don't know if their next leaders are ready. SBI Capital Markets does

80% of organisations lack confidence in their leadership bench. In investment banking - where client relationships, deal execution, and strategic judgement define the business - that uncertainty isn't just an HR problem. It's a business risk.

SBI Capital Markets, one of India's leading financial advisory and investment banking firms, decided not to leave that question unanswered.

What Jombay built

A rigorous, science-backed development centre for two cohorts - Managers to AVPs and AVPs to VPs) - designed to objectively identify where each individual's potential truly lies, and give leadership a clear, structured view of their bench.

  • Multi-lens assessment, not just intuition: Participants completed personality assessments, business simulations, leadership scenarios, and case studies - creating a well-rounded view of how they think, collaborate, communicate, and deliver results.
  • Mapped to what SBI Capital Markets actually needs: The development centre was anchored to six competencies that directly reflect the demands of senior roles in financial services - Collaborative Partnerships, Customer Centricity, Effective Communication, Strategic Orientation, Drive for Results, and Future Readiness.
  • Outputs built for confident decisions about the leadership bench: Individual Reports gave each participant a personalised view of their strengths and development areas. Stack Rank reports gave leadership a structured, side-by-side lens to assess readiness across the cohort - objectively, consistently, and without bias.

What this enabled

SBI Capital Markets moved from assumption to evidence. Leadership teams gained a clear, data-backed picture of who is ready to step up, who needs more runway, and where the organisation's bench is strongest - across two critical seniority levels.
