Karnataka Bank to host Founders' Day Lecture on Feb 18, 2026 by Shri Debasish Panda
Karnataka Bank will celebrate its 102nd Founders' Day on February 18, 2026. Shri Debasish Panda, former IRDAI Chairman, will deliver the lecture. The event will include a classical music concert and be live-streamed on social media.
The event is a ceremonial celebration and lecture, not a business-critical announcement, therefore its impact on the company's stock is expected to be minimal.
The announcement is a routine company event and does not contain any financial or operational updates that would significantly impact the stock price.
Karnataka Bank will celebrate its 102nd Founders' Day on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at the Bank's Head Office in Mangaluru.
Shri Debasish Panda, IAS (Retd.), a distinguished former Chairman of IRDAI and Secretary of the Department of Financial Services, will deliver the Founders' Day Lecture. He has a notable career spanning over three decades with significant contributions to finance, insurance, and public policy, including spearheading the 'Insurance for All by 2047' vision and leading critical banking consolidations.
The lecture will be followed by a classical music concert performed by an all-women ensemble. The event will be streamed live on the Bank's official social media channels on YouTube and Facebook, and telecast live by coastal TV channels 'Namma Kudla' and 'Namma TV'. 'All India Radio' Mangaluru will also broadcast the programme live. Shri P Pradeep Kumar, Chairman of the Bank, will preside over the event.
