IndusInd Bank Appoints Executive and Independent Directors, Enhances Board Governance

IndusInd Bank has appointed Ganesh Sankaran and Jagdeep Mallareddy as whole-time executive directors, pending Reserve Bank of India and shareholder approvals, strengthening its board after last year's accounting lapse. The bank also named Nilesh Shivji Vikamsey and Ravindra Babu Garikipati as independent directors and appointed Sunil Kumar Singh as Chief Compliance Officer. These changes align the bank's governance with regulatory norms amid a recent return to profitability following a significant loss due to prior accounting discrepancies.
