Aavas Financiers, an affordable housing finance company, announced the appointment of Mr. Manu Yeshpal Singh as its new Managing Director & CEO, effective April 21, 2026, subject to RBI and shareholder approval. Mr. Singh joins from Kotak Mahindra Bank, where he was President - Business Head, Housing Finance, and brings over 25 years of experience across Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Capital, and ICICI Bank. Outgoing MD & CEO Mr. Sachinderpalsingh Jitendrasingh Bhinder will continue in a senior advisor role to support continuity. The announcement also highlighted strong Q4 FY26 performance, with disbursements up 36% quarter-on-quarter and 16% year-on-year, and branch network expanding to 435 branches (38 added during the year).
Leadership transition at the top could bring fresh strategic direction, but continuity is being maintained through the outgoing CEO's advisory role. The new leader's strong housing finance pedigree and the company's strong recent operating metrics suggest a stable handover, though the appointment is still pending RBI approval which introduces some uncertainty.
