The Konark Wheel at Odisha’s Sun Temple stands as a testament to India’s architectural precision and timeless wisdom. Often associated with the cosmic cycle of ‘dharma’ (righteousness) and ‘karma’ (action), its eight major spokes represent eight ‘prahar’ (time division) of a day, symbolising discipline and balance at the heart of governance. It reminds us that governance is not static but guided by purpose and measured decision-making. These values are at the foundation of ICICI Bank’s corporate governance framework.

Inspired by the Sun’s perpetual motion, the wheel’s circular form echoes the Bank’s continuous efforts in environmental conservation, societal development and sustainable business practices. Its steady rhythm reflects the natural cycle of work, rest and renewal—creating conditions for both the land and its people to flourish. At ICICI Bank, these ideas form the backbone of our ESG commitments. Every decision is anchored in responsibility, as we strive to minimise environmental impact, uplift communities, and adhere to the philosophy of our ESG Policy. Just as the wheel’s design embodies balance and intent, our approach to progress is shaped by consistency, accountability and resilience.
