Governance Gaps in PSU Banks and Leadership Transition at HDFC Bank
Eight of India's 11 public sector banks, excluding SBI, currently lack non-executive chairmen, raising governance concerns amid new RBI guidelines effective October 1. The non-executive chairman role is vital for board leadership and oversight, but vacancies persist. Separately, HDFC Bank is preparing for a new MD and CEO following the retirement of Sashidhar Jagdishan on October 26. The incoming leader faces challenges including restoring investor confidence, boosting deposit growth, and improving internal communication after recent governance issues.
