Managing Partner – Value Creation — Corporate Bank

The mandate

Following two years of uneven execution, the board is addressing expansion of a value-creation practice beyond founder-led delivery within a privately held regulated universal or specialist bank. The immediate arena is the corporate bank during a deposit-growth challenge. For mandate 064, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Managing Partner – Value Creation operating perimeter covers approximately ₹82,950 crore in loan and deposit book, with activity spanning several corporate bank customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Managing Partner – Value Creation Banking remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,475 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors want a Managing Partner – Value Creation who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the corporate bank. The Managing Partner – Value Creation Banking seat must resolve a deposit-growth challenge, while preserving the underlying strengths of the corporate bank. For mandate 064, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Managing Partner – Value Creation’s first year on the corporate bank is expected to end with repeatable client impact, senior hiring and durable fee growth. In mandate 064, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a newly created Managing Partner – Value Creation — Corporate Bank seat, established because a deposit-growth challenge now requires one accountable executive rather than distributed ownership. The board has classified the appointment as urgent and intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 6–8 weeks. Interim governance protects the corporate bank, but it is not a substitute for a permanent appointee. The external search remains confidential to avoid unnecessary disruption before the appointment is agreed.
