Karur Vysya Bank has appointed Dr Mythili Vutukuru as an Additional Director under the Independent Category, effective September 24, 2025. The appointment was made by the Board under Section 161 of the Companies Act, 2013, and is subject to shareholder approval within three months. Dr Mythili Vutukuru is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay since 2013, holding a B.Tech from IIT Madras and MS/PhD degrees from MIT. She brings expertise in computer systems, networking, cloud computing, and has been serving as an external expert on the technology committee at NSE Clearing Limited since 2021. The bank confirmed she is not debarred from holding a directorship by SEBI or any other authority, and she is not related to any existing director on the board.
This is a routine independent director appointment that adds technology and academic expertise to the board. No material impact on shareholders or stock price is expected, though it strengthens the board's technology governance capability given the banking sector's increasing digital focus.
