Equitas Small Finance Bank Appoints Balaji Nuthalapadi as Interim CEO After Vasudevan Resignation
Equitas Small Finance Bank appointed Balaji Nuthalapadi as interim CEO following the resignation of long-serving CEO P N Vasudevan, who stepped down due to conflict-of-interest concerns related to his daughter's non-banking finance company. Nuthalapadi's appointment is pending approval from the Reserve Bank of India. The bank has initiated a search for a permanent CEO and will submit recommendations to the central bank. Vasudevan's resignation previously caused a significant drop in the bank's shares.
