HDFC Bank Board Moves to Reappoint CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan Pending RBI Approval
HDFC Bank's board is expected to initiate the reappointment of Sashidhar Jagdishan as managing director and CEO for a third term after external law firms found no merit in concerns raised by former chairman Atanu Chakraborty. The bank is also in the process of selecting a new non-executive chairman, with RBI approval pending for both appointments. Analysts note that while the board supports Jagdishan, the RBI may consider additional factors, including the bank's elevated loan-to-deposit ratio post-merger.
