Srajan Tiwari steps up as senior vice president at HDFC Bank

MUMBAI: HDFC Bank has added another seasoned name to its leadership bench, with Srajan Tiwari taking on the role of senior vice president. The appointment marks a natural next chapter in a career shaped by two decades of banking, mutual funds and investment analytics across India and overseas.

In his new role within the personal banking group, Tiwari will focus on strengthening the bank’s investment analytics capabilities while driving growth initiatives across regions. It is a brief that plays to his strengths, blending numbers, networks and nuanced market understanding.

Tiwari is no stranger to HDFC Bank. Since 2019, he has served as regional head for North India in investment analytics, helping build scale and strategy in one of the bank’s most competitive markets. The promotion signals continuity as much as confidence in his leadership.

Before returning to HDFC Bank, Tiwari spent a year at BankBazaar as deputy vice president for mutual funds, gaining a digital-first perspective on retail investing. Prior to that, he clocked nearly seven years at Canara Robeco Asset Management as business head for North India, where he played a key role in expanding the fund house’s footprint.

His earlier career reads like a tour of India’s financial map and beyond. From managing Reliance Capital’s Middle East operations in Dubai to leading regions across Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Tiwari has worked across markets with very different investor mindsets. His journey began at ICICI Bank and ICICI Capital Services, following a management trainee stint at Fascel.

With deep roots in traditional banking and a clear eye on modern investment needs, Tiwari’s elevation reflects HDFC Bank’s intent to keep experience and execution closely aligned. For the bank, it is a steady hand at the wheel. For Tiwari, it is a role that brings his long, varied journey neatly full circle.
