Kotak Mahindra Bank Recommends Two Internal Candidates for CEO Succession
Kotak Mahindra Bank has recommended two internal executive directors, Anup Saha and Paritosh Kashyap, as candidates to succeed CEO Ashok Vaswani when his term ends on December 31, 2026. The bank has submitted these names to the Reserve Bank of India for approval, as required by banking regulations. Vaswani, who became CEO in January 2024, will not seek reappointment for personal reasons. The new CEO is expected to continue the bank's growth trajectory toward becoming India's third-largest private lender by after-tax profit.
