Join Us in Celebrating a Century of Community Banking!
Are you a passionate historian, a meticulous researcher, and a creative writer? Our esteemed co-operative bank is approaching a monumental milestone—our 100th anniversary! We’re on the lookout for a talented individual (or a team) to author a commemorative booklet that captures the essence of our rich history. This is your chance to dive into the archives, sift through a century’s worth of meeting minutes, and bring to life the stories of our cherished customers, dedicated employees, and visionary directors. Your work will not only reflect on our past but also shine a light on the legacy we’re building for the future.
Craft a Legacy with Your Words
This is more than a writing job; it’s an opportunity to weave the narrative of a bank that has stood the test of time, serving generations of community members. We need you to research old magazines and periodicals, engage with the heart of our institution—our people—and produce a book that’s as professional as it is personal. The final masterpiece should be ready to grace our centenary celebrations by the end of 2026. If you have the skill to create a layout that matches the professionalism of our services and the warmth of our community, we invite you to apply and help us commemorate a century of service and trust.

Respected Chairman,
As I can recollect since my school days in 1950 the Zoroastrian Bank had the first vision to promulgate the idea of Today’s the so-called Mutual Fund in that time by naming it as Arus-Purus nu Fund and the Bank was small enough in the Horniman Circle area and had employed a few Parsi bawajees who would go round on their bycycles to the households of the parsis and explain to them about the advantages of this Arus-Purus nu fund.
With the efforts of these bawajees the Bank could certainly carry on additional tasks and could benefit both , the customer as well as itself . This is how the concept of Mutual Fund was first brought out by the Parsis.
In my opinion, if the minutes of meetings spread over a 100-yr period are to serve as an important (though not only) resource, then these minutes should first be digitized in an editable format. This will facilitate a subject-wise categorization of all contents.
The pioneering work of establishing the concept of Mutual Fund (in todays age) was first done by ZCBL by starting Arus-Purus Nu Fund.
Our Zoroastrian Bank was first to introduce the concept of Mutual Trust when it had begun its Gujarati concept Arus-Parus Nu Fund in the early days of Bank History.
