Manappuram Finance Appoints Professional CEO as Bain Capital Gains Joint Control
Manappuram Finance is transitioning from family-led to professional management after Bain Capital gained joint control, with VP Nandakumar stepping down as managing director to become non-executive chairman from January 2027. Ashish Singh, a retail banking veteran, will assume the role of MD and CEO for five years, pending shareholder approval. The company reported a more than four-fold increase in first-quarter profit to Rs 585 crore and significant growth in assets under management, amid concerns over gold price volatility.
