A decades-long association came to an end at HDFC Bank as the lender bid farewell to Sashidhar Jagdishan and welcomed Anup Bagchi as its new managing director and chief executive officer, according to an exchange filing.
Bagchi assumed charge on October 27, 2026, after Jagdishan vacated the position at the close of business on October 26 upon completing his tenure. The transition closes a decades-long association and places Bagchi at the helm of the lender's strategic priorities.
The bank credited Jagdishan with strengthening its performance, culture and customer-centric approach, and acknowledged his role in completing one of the largest mergers in corporate India.
“The Bank would like to place on record its sincere appreciation for the strategic vision and unwavering commitment demonstrated by Mr. Jagdishan throughout his distinguished tenure. His stewardship has been instrumental in strengthening the Bank's performance, culture, and customer-centric approach,” the filing said.
