During the announcement of Q3FY18, Kapoor spoke about the bank's performance and also laid out its long-term vision. "YES BANK has once again delivered satisfactory performance across income growth, margins, profitability and Capital accretion, despite the recognition and provision impact from a stressed Infrastructure conglomerate," he said.

He said that the bank has taken prudent proactive provisioning on its entire exposure to the stressed Infrastructure Conglomerate which is in line with expected recovery rates. 

He said that the Bank’s highly experienced and proven management team with the guidance of its Board, is well geared to successfully navigate the Bank through this leadership transition phase and also towards achieving its long term vision of “Building the Finest Quality Large Bank of the World in India by 2025”.
