Kotak Mahindra Bank Appoints New HR Chief for Transformation

Mumbai, Jan 3 (PTI) Days after its new chief executive Ashok Vaswani assumed the office, Kotak Mahindra Bank on Wednesday announced the appointment of Anupam Kaura as its chief human resources officer.

Kaura, who joins the private sector lender from Crisil's London office, has been appointed to "spearhead organisational transformation", according to a statement.
