Mumbai: Arun Khurana, the Deputy CEO and Whole-Time Director of IndusInd Bank, has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective January 21, 2025. A seasoned banking professional with over three decades of experience, Khurana will take on the dual responsibility of CFO alongside his existing roles, bringing a wealth of expertise to the bank’s leadership team.
A Chartered Accountant by qualification, Khurana joined IndusInd Bank in November 2011 and has held critical leadership positions, including heading the Global Markets Group, Transaction Banking Group, and Investment Banking. In April 2020, he was elevated to Deputy CEO, overseeing key operational functions and driving strategic initiatives. His extensive background in banking and financial services positions him well to lead the bank’s financial strategy amid evolving market dynamics.
The leadership change follows the resignation of current CFO Gobind Jain, who plans to explore other professional opportunities. Jain, who joined IndusInd Bank in October 2020, will serve a 90-day notice period to ensure a seamless transition.
Khurana’s appointment underscores IndusInd Bank’s strategy of leveraging internal talent for top leadership roles. His dual responsibilities as Deputy CEO and CFO signal the bank’s confidence in his capabilities to align financial strategies with the institution’s broader growth objectives.
This transition occurs as India’s banking sector witnesses notable executive reshuffles, with institutions prioritizing operational resilience and growth. Under Khurana’s leadership, the bank is expected to sharpen its focus on innovation, operational efficiency, and financial performance. Further updates on IndusInd Bank’s financial roadmap are anticipated in the coming months.
