Banks / Standard Chartered Bank
CEO, India (and South Asia), Standard Chartered Bank — in office since 1 April 2025, succeeding Zarin Daruwala. Has close to three decades in banking; was previously Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase Bank in India, where he was a founding member shaping its corporate banking franchise, and before that spent a decade at HSBC in senior corporate & commercial banking leadership roles.
Standard Chartered's India operations are run as branches of Standard Chartered Bank, incorporated with limited liability in the United Kingdom — not as a separately incorporated Indian banking subsidiary. As a result, the top executive holds the title CEO, India (sometimes styled "Cluster CEO, India and South Asia markets") rather than "MD & CEO" or "Chairman," and the bank's India financial statements are filed as "Standard Chartered Bank – India Branches."

Note: retail branch/deposit footprint is smaller than large domestic banks — Standard Chartered India focuses more on corporate, priority and wealth-banking relationships than mass-market retail.
