The Reserve Bank of India has expedited the selection process for the next CEO of HDFC Bank, with less than a month left for the current CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan to complete his term. Two names are currently in contention: Anup Bagchi, CEO of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, and Kaizad Bharucha, HDFC Bank's deputy managing director.
According to a senior official, a decision could be made within the next week to ten days, with Bagchi being the leading candidate. HDFC Bank aims to appoint the new CEO before announcing its September quarter results, avoiding an interim leadership arrangement that may not send the right signal to investors. The incoming CEO is expected to join Jagdishan during the bank's second quarter earnings announcement on October 17, as the board believes it will boost investor confidence.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance is also in the process of identifying a successor, with the possibility of external candidates being considered due to fresh senior directors at ICICI Bank's board.
