Jaideep Iyer appointed as executive director at RBL Bank

MUMBAI: RBL Bank has tapped its strategy engine for the top table. Jaideep Iyer has been appointed additional director and whole-time director (executive director) for a three-year term starting 21 February 2026, subject to approvals from the Reserve Bank of India and the bank’s shareholders.

Currently head of strategy at the private sector lender, Iyer has been a central figure in shaping RBL Bank’s strategic planning, growth agenda and long-term transformation across its core business verticals. His elevation signals continuity as well as confidence in the bank’s internal leadership bench.

Iyer brings more than two decades of experience across banking, finance and investment management. Before joining RBL Bank in 2018, he spent over 12 years at Yes Bank, most recently as group president – financial management, where he oversaw finance, strategy and investor relations. Earlier stints include Rabo India Finance, where he worked as associate director in investment banking, focusing on private equity and mergers and acquisitions.

With deep institutional knowledge and a track record across strategy and finance, Iyer now steps into an executive role at a time when RBL Bank is sharpening its ambitions. The move underlines a clear message: the bank is betting on insiders who know the playbook and are ready to write the next chapter.
