RBL Bank has appointed Gukesh Dommaraju, the youngest-ever contender for the World Chess Championship and the third-youngest grandmaster to achieve a 2700 rating, as its brand ambassador. This partnership underscores the bank’s commitment to empowering customers in achieving their financial goals by drawing a parallel between the strategic mindset of a chess grandmaster and the thoughtful approach RBL Bank takes in financial planning.

R Subramaniakumar, MD and CEO of RBL Bank, shared, “In chess, every move counts, and at RBL Bank, we understand how important it is to help our customers make the right financial moves. Partnering with Gukesh is a perfect alignment for us, as his exceptional ability to anticipate several moves ahead mirrors our approach to strategic financial planning.

The entire RBL Bank family wishes Gukesh great success at the World Chess Championship 2024.”

Gukesh Dommaraju added, “This collaboration with RBL Bank is a significant milestone in my journey. The bank’s approach to helping customers align their financial goals with precision and foresight resonates with the strategy required in chess. Their commitment to building customer wealth through innovative solutions reflects the same strategic thinking that drives success on the chessboard. I’m excited to partner with an institution that understands the importance of thinking ahead and making wise moves at the right time, whether in chess or financial planning.”
