Days after new CEO Ashok Vaswani assumed office, Kotak Mahindra Bank on Wednesday announced the appointment of Anupam Kaura as Chief Human Resources Officer.
Kaura, who joins the private sector lender from Crisil's London office, has been appointed to “lead organizational transformation”, according to a statement.
In recent months, the lender has hired a slew of professionals working abroad to take on responsibilities in areas such as technology and customer experience.
Kaura specializes in driving change agendas and transformative initiatives in large organizations, the statement said.
Shanti Ekambaram, managing director of the lender, said Kaura has experience in strategic HR leadership, change management and technology integration.
“We believe his rich experience in leading major transformative initiatives aligns with Kotak's vision to be a technology-enabled, customer-centric financial institution for the future,” she added.
Kaura said the banking industry is currently at an inflection point of opportunity and growth.
