Federal Bank (2010–2024)

Shyam Srinivasan was appointed the Managing Director and CEO of Federal Bank on September 23, 2010, at a time when the bank had a predominantly regional presence, rooted deeply in South India. His immediate priority upon taking the helm was to modernize the bank’s infrastructure and expand its reach, both geographically and digitally. This marked the beginning of an ambitious transformation aimed at positioning Federal Bank as a national player with a strong technological backbone.

Under Shyam Srinivasan's leadership, Federal Bank significantly enhanced its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives across various sectors. Key programs include the Federal Skill Academy, aimed at upskilling underprivileged individuals to improve their employability, and "Speak For India," a platform designed to empower young thinkers.

Notably, during his tenure, the bank reduced the average age of its workforce from the 40s to the 30s and improved employee diversity, with women now comprising 43% of the workforce. This achievement positions the bank as one of the largest employers of women, by percentage, in the country.
