HireSetu's note
The roster is the first thing to settle
Night shifts and weekends are on the table, and it's stated upfront, which is more than most listings bother to do. Decide whether you can hold that pattern for a year or more before you spend time on the application. Ask how the rotation runs: fixed nights or rotating blocks, how many weeks at a stretch, and what transport looks like for a 2am finish in Pune. Ask whether a shift allowance sits on top of the base pay, and how the shift is decided for a new joiner.
Freshers with a degree are the target
Zero to three years, so a fresh graduate in any discipline clears the base bar. Retail banking operations experience is the preferred flavour, which in practice means branch or back-office work: account opening files, KYC paperwork, cheque clearing, passbook and statement queries. Even six months of that at a bank or NBFC puts you ahead of a general fresher. BPO experience on a banking process counts for the same reason, and you already know what a night shift does to your week.
Numbers, records and other people
A large share of the day is verification: records that reconcile, accounts opened without a gap, documents filed where someone can find them later. Numerical ability here shows up as spotting a wrong figure in a long list, not as arithmetic. Spreadsheets and databases are the daily tools, so get comfortable sorting, filtering and comparing two columns until a mismatch stands out.
You'll also be the person other teams chase for status, so written updates and phone calls take up real time. Clear spoken English carries you far, and Hindi or Marathi helps with local counterparties.
