🌟 Our People, Our Story

Mrs. Shalini Onil Lemos

Assistant General Manager

I joined BCCB on 01.02.1990 as a fresh Science graduate, proud to serve in our prestigious community bank founded by a priest and known for its exceptional customer service. With encouragement and guidance from my seniors, I pursued higher studies—completing CAIIB, GDC&A, and an MBA in Banking & Finance—keeping myself updated in the financial domain. Transfers are part of our journey at BCCB, and I embraced them with the motto “Bloom where you are planted.” Starting with branches like Holi, Bangli, Bhayandar and Manickpur, I gained rich learning experiences in diverse environments, including the Audit and Credit Departments. I had the privilege of leading key commercial branches such as Bhayandar, Borivali, Nallasopara East, Gokhivare, Umrale, and Zenda Bazar, making a meaningful contribution at each location. Today, as Head of Internal Audit, I look back with gratitude for the grooming, opportunities, and trust this organization has placed in me. BCCB’s culture of teamwork, continuous learning, and community commitment makes it more than a workplace—it is a family. I pray for the continued growth and success of our beloved Bank.

Mrs. Vanita Tushar Chaughule

Chief Manager – Treasury

I joined BCCB as Chief Manager – Treasury, and the journey since then has been immensely rewarding. It has been a period of continuous growth, learning, and enriching experiences. I am deeply grateful to the Management for entrusting me with a role that is dynamic, challenging, and fulfilling—one that allows me to contribute meaningfully to the Bank’s financial strength and sustainable growth. I am fortunate to work with a dedicated and collaborative team, where knowledge, expertise, and best practices are shared freely, ensuring that we remain united in our goals and committed to delivering excellence. It is a privilege to be part of an organization that places such high value on performance, integrity, and customer satisfaction. I look forward to contributing further to our shared vision and collective success.

Mr. Parag Paul Dcunha

Manager

I joined Bassein Catholic Co-operative Bank as an Assistant Manager and, over the years, progressed through the roles of Deputy Manager and now Manager. More than 14 years of my life, the major learning and growing years of my career, have been spent with this bank and these years have truly been the most valuable in shaping who I am today. BCCB’s positive and collaborative work culture has not only helped me grow professionally but has also enriched me personally. During my tenure, I have had the opportunity to work at various locations, each experience adding to my learning and broadening my perspective. The dedication to providing exceptional customer service is deeply ingrained in our values, and it is heartening to see customers appreciate our efforts. What makes this journey even more special is the people I work with, my colleagues and teammates are like an extended family. We support each other through challenges, celebrate each other’s successes, and work together with a shared passion for serving our customers and the community. At BCCB, every day brings new challenges, opportunities, and learning experiences. The bank’s supportive environment, focus on employee growth, and commitment to excellence make it truly a great place to work and build a career. I am proud to be part of the BCCB Parivar.

I have always been encouraged, supported, and appreciated by the Bank for my dedication and commitment. BCCB has given me opportunities to grow, take on responsibilities, and prove myself, which has strengthened my confidence and professional skills. The inclusive and respectful culture here makes every day at work a rewarding experience.

I joined BCCB in February 2022 as an Assistant Manager, and from day one, I have experienced a supportive and collaborative work environment. The management is approachable, and the work culture encourages learning and innovation. Over the past 3.5 years, I have grown both professionally and personally, gaining valuable exposure to diverse banking operations.

Maheshwari Ashok Ugale

Senior Clerk

During my journey, I was promoted from CSR to Junior Clerk and then to Senior Clerk, which speaks volumes about the career growth and opportunities available here. The bank maintains a very transparent work culture and communication style, where you can easily connect with any staff member. I joined the BCCB family in 2018 as a Customer Service Representative, and it was my very first experience in the banking sector. Looking back, I can confidently say it has turned out to be the best experience so far. The bank has an incredibly knowledgeable and well-educated staff, with team members coming from diverse banking backgrounds, creating a rich pool of knowledge and experience. Our staff, heads, and managers are always supportive, approachable, and committed to helping us grow. BCCB is truly extraordinary when it comes to employee development—offering internal promotions, timely training sessions, and even RBI training whenever required. Such initiatives inspire employees and make them confident in their roles. The culture at BCCB is vibrant and unique—celebrations of festivals, events, competitions, and reward programs keep the atmosphere lively and motivating. It is a place where every step is a step forward in terms of career growth, knowledge, and personal development. I am proud to be a part of the BCCB family.
