HDFC Bank names Anup Bagchi as MD & CEO for a three‑year term
The Reserve Bank of India approved Anup Bagchi to become Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of HDFC Bank, effective 27 October 2026. Bagchi, a veteran of the ICICI Group, will replace Sashidhar Jagdishan, who chose not to seek another term. The appointment requires shareholder approval and includes a three‑year tenure.
Why it matters
Macquarie Capital’s managing director said the new external CEO will need to stabilise senior‑management turnover and focus on retail growth, CASA expansion and technology upgrades. The change also ends the succession uncertainty that had weighed on the bank’s share price.
