ABOUT BULDANA URBAN

Buldana Urban – Empowering Communities

Building trust, driving growth through co-operative values

Buldana Urban Co-operative Credit Society Ltd. was established in 1986 by Shri Radheshyamji Devkisanji Chandak with the vision of restoring people’s faith in the co-operative movement. At a time when co-operation was viewed with skepticism, Buldana Urban became a pioneering institution that empowered common people through microfinance, innovative banking solutions, and socio-economic initiatives. By supporting farmers with secured finance, storage, and distribution solutions, it provided economic stability and uplifted countless lives. Over the years, it has grown into India’s largest co-operative credit society, known for its reliability, professionalism, and commitment to social welfare.

Under the leadership of Dr. Sukesh Zamwar, Chairman of Buldana Urban Co-op. Credit Society, the institution has achieved remarkable milestones. Inspired by the founder Shri Radheshyamji Chandak, Dr. Zamwar combined his medical background and global exposure with a passion for social development to bring innovation into co-operative banking. His efforts in technological upgradation, strategic reforms, and expansion elevated Buldana Urban to international recognition. Within twelve years, he transformed the society into a $3.0 billion USD business entity with 1.7 million members and over 470 branches. His leadership secured prestigious awards such as the CUMI Award in the Asia-Pacific region, NCUI national awards, and global recognition for financial innovation and cooperative excellence.

Today, Buldana Urban stands as an epitome of trust and progress in the co-operative sector. With deposits exceeding 1.8 billion USD and lending of 1.3 billion USD, it caters to diverse financial needs through products like gold loans, warehouse loans, farmers’ loans, and other credit facilities. Its loan recovery rate of 97–98% reflects the society’s strong foundation and member trust. The organization operates with a network of nearly 7,000 employees and continues to expand across Maharashtra and neighboring states, while upholding its mission of blending traditional values with modern professionalism. With a human touch at its core, Buldana Urban remains dedicated to prosperity, co-operation, and the overall welfare of society.
