The objective of this research is to assess bank employees’ perceptions current stage of banks and identify sustainable growth strategies for the future. Study Design: I purposively selected Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana states. Multi-stage sampling (MSS) used for data collection. Statistical tools such as Correlation and Regression analysis, and Balance score-card were performed using advanced Excel. Financial ratios include DuPont model (Asset Turnover, Profit Margin, Return on Equity-ROE, and Return on Assets-ROA), were calculated.

Key focus areas include achieving global standards like the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), reducing liability and servicing costs, and fostering product differentiation. ‘P’ value 0.370, there is no significant relationship between net banking and UPI transactions, and ‘r’ value 0.938, therefore there is a highly positive correlation between them, and so to increase the growth of the banking sector, a focus on enhancing net banking and UPI transactions is recommended to achieve the target. The adjusted R-square value is 82.70; therefore, 82% of the variance of the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable in regression analysis. Y=a+bx: Positive intercept in banking transactions suggests baseline activity regardless influencing factors. Negative slope means factors like features, services, size of transactions, and volume might decrease. Policy Recommendations: Enhance resource utilization, global standards compliance, product differentiation, strategic implementation and cost management.
