Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has appointed Sonali Sen Gupta as Executive Director (ED).
Before this appointment, she served as the Regional Director for Karnataka at the Bengaluru Regional Office.
In her new capacity, Sen Gupta will lead three key departments of the central bank — the Consumer Education and Protection Department, the Financial Inclusion and Development Department, and the Inspection Department. These divisions are vital to the RBI’s focus on improving financial awareness, ensuring consumer protection, and strengthening regulatory supervision across the banking sector.
With a career spanning more than three decades at the RBI, Sen Gupta brings experience in financial inclusion policy, human resource management, and banking regulation.
