South Indian Bank announced a leadership change at the MD & CEO level. Mr. P R Seshadri retired on Sept 30, 2026 after completing his approved tenure. Mr. Mahesh Muralidhar Pai, aged 50, takes over as MD & CEO for three years from Oct 1, 2026. He brings nearly 30 years of banking experience and was formerly Chief General Manager at Canara Bank, leading digital banking and innovation. The appointment is approved by RBI and shareholders at the 98th AGM.
Smooth leadership transition. New CEO brings digital banking and innovation expertise from Canara Bank, which may shape the bank's future tech-focused growth strategy.
