Puri has been the head of the lender since its incorporation 25 years ago and has led it to be the largest and most valuable bank, on the back of a strict hold over asset quality. It is one of the most coveted jobs in the Indian banking sector and market watchers are keenly awaiting who will be the chosen appointee. The HDFC Bank board had appointed a search committee and also engaged external headhunters to help it zero in on a candidate. "The Board of Directors of the Bank has today (Saturday) finalised the names of three candidates, in the order of preference, for the position of the managing director and chief executive officer (MD &amp; CEO) of the bank," the bank informed the bourses in a statutory filing. It did not elaborate on who the three were. A media report in the run up to the board meet had mentioned the names of Sashidhar Jagdishan, Kaizad Bharucha and Sunil Garg as the ones who had made the cut. Jagdishan and Bharucha are internal candidates, while Garg is working with American banking major Citigroup. Garg is the chief executive of Citi Commercial Bank, while Jagdishan is an additional director who heads the finance, human resources, legal and secretarial functions at HDFC Bank, and Bharucha is an executive director responsible for wholesale banking. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank had asked for the appointments of both Jagdishan and Bharucha to be kept in abeyance, asking for the new chief executive to take a call on it. Puri had recently told reporters that his successor will be announced before April. "...the recommendations are with the search committee and before April, an appropriate person who will take the bank into the future will be announced," he had told reporters over a conference call last month.

HDFC Bank board shortlists 3 preferences to succeed Aditya Puri, waits for RBI nod

New Delhi, Nov 28 () HDFC Bank on Thursday said it has formed a six-member committee to find a successor to Managing Director Aditya Puri who is set to retire in October next year.
 India's largest private sector lender HDFC Bank is on a global search to find a successor to the founding-chief executive Aditya Puri, as he would turn 70 next year.
 "The board of directors of the bank at its meeting held today has constituted a search committee to identify a successor to Aditya Puri, the current managing director of the bank, whose tenure ends on October 26, 2020," the bank said in a regulatory filing.
 The search committee will comprise Shyamala Gopinath, Sanjiv Sachar, M D Ranganath, Sandeep Parekh, Srikanth Nadhamuni and Keki Mistry representative of HDFC, the parent of the bank. Gopinath is the bank's chairperson.
 "The search committee, over the next few months, shall evaluate internal and external candidates to ensure smooth transition," the bank said.
 Puri will act as an advisor to the search committee, the bank said.
 It is noteworthy that Puri, the managing director and chief executive since 1994 when the bank was set up, has seen a whopping 41 per cent increase in total remuneration in 2019 to Rs 13.67 crore.
 He turns 70 next year and has been instrumental in getting the bank to its current stature as one of the most valued banks globally in terms of price to earnings ratio.
 Also there are reports that Puri, an ex-Citibanker, may continue as the non-executive chairman post retirement.
 Separately, the board of directors of the bank also approved appointments of Sashidhar Jagdishan and Bhavesh Zaveri as an additional directors and executive directors for a period of three years period each from November 28, 2019, subject to RBI approval. KPM SHW

the RBI suggests that the tenure of promoter CEOs should be limited to 10 years. Non-promoter CEOs should also only be allowed to stay on for no more than 15 years. Once the tenure is over, the RBI has given leeway for around two years allowing banks to appoint a successor — once the rules are finalised. “To build a robust culture of sound governance practice, professional management of banks and to adopt the principle of separating ownership from management, it is desirable to limit the tenure of the WTDs or CEOs,” RBI said in the discussion paper. If CEOs want to return to the helm, they will have to wait it out for three years before they can be reappointed. What does this mean for Uday Kotak? Uday Kotak, who has been Kotak Mahindra Bank’s executive vice-chairman and managing director since its inception in 2003-04, was re-designated as managing director and CEO in May 2018. That culminates in a total of 17 years that Uday Kotak leading the bank. If RBI’s new guidelines come into effect, Kotak may get another two years to name his successor. The brokerage firm Jefferies believes the most likely candidate for the position is Dipak Gupta, the current joint managing director. Uday Kotak has been in the midst of another stalemate with RBI to bring his stake in the bank down to 26%. Earlier in June, he sold off 56 million shares through a block deal, bringing his promoter stake down to 26.1% ⁠— after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/uday-kotak-to-sell-2-83-stake-in-kotak-mahindra-bank-sale-to-fetch-over-rs-6800-cr/articleshow/76141837.cms">multiple extensions</a> to the initial December 2018 deadline set by the RBI. However, he still has to trim around 0.1% in order to comply with RBI’s guidelines. RBI’s new regulations come after controversies led by Yes Bank, the Bank of Rajasthan and other promoter-sponsored banks have faced trouble in the recent past. Limiting the tenure of promoter-chief executives could be its way of safeguarding the interests of financial institutions.

If you are an HDFC customer, the bank is giving you more reasons to stick to it. Now the bank will be playing a double role of not only keeping your money safe but will also turn into a shopping mart, selling grocery, clothes, shoes and other products on its website. 
 The bank will also get best deals from eCommerce sites like <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword>, <keyword id="6354742" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Flipkart">Flipkart</keyword> and <keyword id="18635" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Amazon">Amazon</keyword> on its website. 
 
Keeping the fast-paced growth in eCommerce, a senior HDFC executive said it was a timely move by India's second largest private sector lender. 
 "We are a large retail and payment bank...about 30-40% of customer spends on eCommerce happens through our credit and debit cards," Parag Rao, senior executive Vice-President and business head (card payment products and merchant acquiring services) at <keyword id="6357149" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="HDFC-bank">HDFC Bank</keyword> told Economic Times. 
 
Rao informed that the bank would not sell products directly as it is against the rules. "We have tied up with partners in travel, bill payment, grocery, hotel and shopping who have their sites anyway," he told ET. 
 
Based on the customer feedback since past one year, HDFC has been working to launch SmartBuy, which will provide a platform to its customers to get better discounts and facilities at one place. 
 As per a PwC India report, <keyword id="35621" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="e-commerce">e-Commerce</keyword> spends grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 34% between 2009 and 2014 to touch $16.4 billion, adding the sector is expected to expand to $22 billion by the end of this year. 
 Meanwhile, taking note of the increasing importance of eCommerce companies, the Reserve <keyword id="6355303" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Bank-of-India">Bank of India</keyword> (RBI) had asked banks to form joint ventures with them or appoint them as business correspondents. 
 
The RBI’s move to licence niche payment banks has also led to increased focus among banks on digital banking. 
 
"The increase in e-tailing is something that doesn't matter to banks. They want these transactions to be executed through their website so that they get the fee income," Ashvin Parekh, managing partner, Ashvin Parekh Advisory Services told ET, adding “they are just gearing up for payments banks.” 
 Banks like <keyword id="6653" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="ICICI-bank">ICICI Bank</keyword>, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank want to ensure their transactions are not routed to any third-party website, for if a payment bank comes and these are routed to its website these banks may lose customers," said Parekh. 
 
HDFC’s major profits come from fee income. Its other income, which includes fees and commission from offer of banking services, grew 29.9% to Rs 2,563.8 crore in the quarter to March, which led to a 20% growth in its net profit. 
 
"HDFC Bank is the largest acquirer (of customers) in the country and it cannot leave the acquisition space. Banks are just trying to pre-empt products that the payment banks would come up with," said Parekh. 
 
Aditya Puri, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of HDFC Bank, has been pushing the digital initiative since December 2014, replicating the best practices of some of the global banks such as US-based Wells Fargo and Poland's mBank.

New Delhi, Mar 12 () Local high networth individuals and leading financial institutions have evinced interest in putting money in crisis-hit Yes Bank, analysts said on Thursday. There is lot of interest in putting money into Yes Bank because now the real value will be unlocked as the stock price has already reached Rs 26 apiece, IIFL Securities Director Sanjiv Bhasin said. There is a mixed bag of local investors, mutual funds, AMCs,HNIs alongside ICICI and HDFC, he said further. "There is ICICI, HDFC, then there are individual HNIs like Radhakishan Damani (Dmart), Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and some mutual funds," Bhasin added. Yes Bank's administrator Prashant Kumar, a former SBI executive, has said that the lender is in talks with various investors to raise capital. Yes Bank was superseded by the RBI last Thursday under an administrator after it failed to raise capital. The troubled lender will announce its third quarter results for December 2019 on Saturday and analysts expect that there will be deterioration in bank's asset quality. "I think there will be deterioration in the asset quality, slippage would be higher, their core equity capital is expected to go below what RBI mandates," said an analyst on the condition of anonymity. The bank may post a loss of Rs 1,000 crore during October-December 2019-20 quarter, an analyst commented. Emkay Global Financial Services said: "We expect Yes Bank to report a loss of Rs 778 crore, mainly due to recognition of heavy corporate NPAs from its stress pool including ADAG NBFC, some real estate acounts and pending NPA provisioning for FY19." Emkay said it believes that SBI stake buy in Yes Bank will provide immediate capital support in the phase 1 of restructuring and also ensure continued support in the future capital raise with SBI being an anchor investor. "Apart from capital support, SBI holding stake in the bank will soothe depositors, as otherwise Yes Bank has been witnessing sharp deposit run down. However, we believe apart from capital infusion, bank will have to strip-off assets to further release capital and also rake up internal liquidity to pay-off depositors, where SBI can provide a pivotal role in buying these assets," it added. Bhasin said it has to be seen how much asset quality deterioration will be there on the results day. "Once we know that...recapitalisation, you know there is Rs 20,000 crore coming as far as capital (is concerned) and Rs 30,000 crore as deposits to allay all investors' negativity, so that is all presumption." As per the bank's reconstruction plan, SBI has committed Rs 2,450 crore investment through an acquisition of 49 per cent equity in Yes Bank, which remains in moratorium till April 3, as bank's capital condition has jeopardized. Yes Bank over the last over one year has failed to raise enough capital under the new leadership of Ravneet Singh Gill, who took charge as the managing director and CEO from March 1, 2019. Troubles at new-generation private sector started brewing up ever since the Reserve Bank denied extension to its co-founder Rana Kapoor -- who now is in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate on charges of financial mismanagement and money-laundering -- to continue as MD and CEO in September 2018, and had asked the lender to find a new successor. Yes Bank shares closed at Rs 25.05 on BSE, down 13.02 per cent from the previous close. KPM MR

At least 10 top Indian companies are looking for CEOs — do you have what it takes?

Mumbai, Mar 31 () The Reserve Bank on Tuesday asked the private sector and foreign banks to intimate it six months in advance in cases of re-appointment of managing director and chief executives as against the present practice of four months.It also provided a relief to banks by reducing the number of names required to be mentioned in cases of fresh appointments of MD and CEOs to two, from the three earlier.The changes in the norms governing the appointment of c-suites in the banks come in the aftermath of interventions by the RBI in the last two years when it comes to pushing out incumbents in private sector lenders and also reluctance for a re-appointment at a foreign lender. They also come even as largest private sector lender HDFC Bank is likely to announce the name of its founding MD and CEO Aditya Puri's successor soon. In a communication to the banks, the RBI said proposals for appointment of a new MD and CEO or CEO should contain a panel of at least two names in order of preference and the same should be submitted at least four months before the expiry of the term of office of the incumbent.In cases of re-appointment, the proposal should be submitted six months in advance as against four months earlier, it said.The RBI has also modified the prescribed formats under which such proposals are to be submitted by the banks, which were updated last in 2011.The revised forms aim to enhance disclosure and improve transparency, get more clarity in the information being sought and is aligned to the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.

In the meanwhile, buoyed by the pandemic-induced demand and falling inventory, real estate developers have been launching new projects. “While near-term demand is likely to be impacted adversely by recession in the US/Europe and the tech slowdown, supply glut continues unabated,” said analysts at Nuvama Institutional Equities. Top 7 cities recorded new launches of around 1.09 lakh units in Q1 2023 against 89,100 units in Q1 2022 and 92,900 units in Q4 2022 — indicating a rise of 23% on annual basis and a rise of 18% from the previous quarter, as per a report by CII-Anarock.

Analysts say that most of the rate hike impact is being felt on the affordable segment and may remain for a few more quarters while luxury segment demand is still robust. “Till now, the 250 basis point rate hike post-Covid has failed to dent the underlying secular housing demand in the sector. However, we are seeing early signs of weakness in the affordable segment. This is on an expected line as this segment is most sensitive to a rate change as it directly hits the loan eligibility,” said a report by HDFC Securities. Affordable housing refers to housing units that are affordable by that section of society whose income is below the median household income – with a square footage of 600 sq feet or below. As per the CII-Anarock report, the mid-segment homes priced ₹40 lakh-₹80 lakh continue to dominate new supply with 36% share. This is followed by the premium (₹80 lakh - ₹1.5 crore) with a 24% share and affordable segments (less than ₹40 lakh) with 18% share. As per analysts the demand projections for the premium or luxury segment might remain unaffected — but that caters to only a third of the new supply that’s being added. Sentiment suffers too Along with the impact of rising property prices due to input costs, multiple layoffs across large and small corporates is also affecting homebuyer sentiment. Amid a liquidity crunch, 16 startups have laid off 100% of their employees in 2023 and three of these startups were Indian -- WeTrade, Fipola and DUX Education, according to data from Layoffs.fyi. “Recent layoffs by both large and small corporates are likely to have at least some impact on the demand in the upcoming two quarters, and dent growth in the housing market. Many homebuyers impacted by layoffs may defer home buying decisions until their employment situation stabilizes,” said Anuj Puri, chairman of Anarock group. Demand for high ticket homes remains intact The two realty hotspots NCR and MMR have seen particularly strong momentum in the sale of high-ticket bigger homes over the last few quarters, finds the CII Anarock report ‘The Housing Market Boom’. The report highlights survey findings that tells 96% surveyed buyers confirm that further home loan rate hike will affect housing demand. “Demand in the luxury segment has been robust and has been the driving force for higher price realisation; the NCR market that saw the maximum price appreciation this year has been driven by demand for luxury housing,” said a report by HDFC Securities. Anarock data reveals that average property prices across the top 7 cities increased in the range of 6-9% in Q1 2023 when compared to Q1 2022, mainly due to an increase in the prices of construction raw materials and overall rise in demand.

However, the former IIT Mumbai alumnus had reportedly little experience in <a href="http://neemuchwala">client facing roles</a>, which is crucial for a software exporter like Wipro. The profit after tax in the financial year ending March 2016 was nearly ₹10,600 crore, three years later it was lower by 7%. And, the prospects are not looking very good either.

 As recently as October 2019, global investment bank Morgan Stanley placed Wipro in the ‘underperform’ list, blaming the management. “The company management is uncertain of macro environment, and with growth lower than peers, Wipro should sustain lower P/E (price-earnings) multiple,” said<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/foreign-brokerages-give-thumbs-down-to-wipro-post-q2-numbers/articleshow/71614624.cms?from=mdr"> Morgan Stanley.</a> The ‘price to earnings ratio’ measures its current share price relative to its earnings per-share (EPS). It is a way of the company. Higher the P/E ratio, more valuable the company. After the most-recent earnings for the three months ending December 2019, Neemuchwala hinted that the worst is behind for Wipro. “If you look at the portfolio, I do feel good that things that we had set out to both reengineer our portfolio and address Wipro-specific issues, as well as a lot of the investment in capability that we have been doing where we get the mind share and traction with customers with a very robust set of deal wins gives me confidence that those issues are behind us,” <a href="https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2020/01/14/wipro-limited-wit-q3-2020-earnings-call-transcript.aspx">Neemuchwala said in a call with analysts</a>. Not just Wipro, Indian IT has struggled as a whole The challenges, especially the reliance on banking, financial services, and insurance, are not unique to Wipro. Between Brexit, the US-China trade war, and a plethora of other challenges on the global scale, the growth in the BFSI segment has been volatile at best for most IT companies.

However, Wipro was lagging behind its peers on the recovery path at the end of December 2019.

The street was clearly not enthused. “The soft guidance for 4Q (Jan-March 2020) indicates that reaching industry-level growth is an uphill task. We reckon that growth will continue to lag peers ahead based on soft outlook on around 50% of rev comprising BFSI (banking, financial services, and insurance, Communications and Technology (hi-tech sub-segment),” said a report by HDFC securities. The incoming CEO after Neemuchwala has a tough task at hand to pick up a flailing business uphill in a tough business environment. That would also make it tougher for Chairman <keyword id="197349" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rishad-Premji">Rishad Premji</keyword> to find Neemuchwala’s replacement.
