In October, DCB Bank announced that it would rapidly expand its branch network from current 160 to 300 in the next 2 years. This massive expansion was seen by the investors against the backdrop of the increased competition from micro finance institutions (MFIs) which have been awarded small finance bank licenses, as well as payment banks which would soon become a reality in India. The markets punished the stock soon after by raising concerns about the bank’s profitability which had already missed street expectations for the quarter ending in September. Hence, analysts lowered the future estimates for DCB bank which was also corroborated by the bank itself.

Although he discusses the alternative, more positive “problem-posing” concept, the banking principle seems to be more prominent in Chinua Achebe’s Things
