Reasons amid spate of resignations
According to source, “One reason why one director has quit and other maybe is because Rajat Monga group president and Ashish Agarwal, chief risk officer will come on the board, will be non-executive directors.”
Yes Bank has seen a series of resignations in the past year amid regulatory glare on its founder Rana Kapoor who was denied another term. R Chandrashekhar, Ashok Chawla were the other board members to have quit.
Ravneet Gill in March took over as the CEO. He has talked about culture change in the bank with being liabilities led than asset led. The Bank is looking to hire to lead the liabilities division as it will be an important area of focus. The bank is moving on the path of having strong regulatory compliance and uncompromising governance standards.
