Gunnebo India, a global leader in physical security solutions, participated as the Safe Storage Partner at the 9th All India Urban Cooperative Banking Summit & Awards 2025, held at Hotel Sahara Star, Mumbai. The summit convened over 700 delegates from 300+ cooperative banks under the theme: “Synergy of Innovation – Shaping the Future of Smart Cooperative Banking for Inclusive Growth.”
As digital transformation takes center stage in the banking sector, Gunnebo India used the platform to bring attention to an often-overlooked pillar of security—physical safe storage solutions. Mr. Anirban Mukhuti, Head of Marketing & Product Management – Asia, delivered an industry presentation on the topic “Rethinking Physical Safe Storage Solutions,” urging institutions to re-evaluate the outdated security infrastructures in light of rising physical and operational risks.
“In an increasingly digital banking ecosystem, physical assets haven’t disappeared—they’ve simply become more exposed. Securing them requires a shift from outdated systems to advanced and certified storage solutions that align with today’s risk environment,” said Mr. Mukhuti.
“In today’s dynamic banking environment, where the integration of digital and physical security is crucial, certified safe storage solutions have become more important than ever. Cooperative banks must invest in systems that are not only secure but also meet stringent compliance standards. In this regard, partners like Gunnebo are playing a commendable role,” said Mr. Gautam Navin, Spokesperson, Organizer from Crest Infomedia.
Gunnebo’s modular vault solutions have garnered widespread recognition for their innovative design, ease of installation, and adaptability across diverse security environments. Notably, Steelage, a brand by Gunnebo, became the first in the industry to receive Class AAA BIS Certification under IS 17541 for Modular Vault Solutions— a milestone that reflects the company’s dedication to raising benchmarks in physical security. Gunnebo also demonstrated a wide range of high security electronic locking solutions which can secure the banks’ assets through proper access control, multi-factor authentication and duress alarm mechanisms.
Gunnebo’s presence at the summit reinforced its commitment to supporting India’s cooperative banking sector with future-proof storage solutions that are secure by design and compliant by default.
