Jio Financial names Sandeep Khetan group chief risk officer
Khetan gets five-year term after joining last year
MUMBAI: Jio Financial Services Limited has announced a change in its senior management personnel, with the board accepting the resignation of group chief risk officer S Anantharaman, and appointing Sandeep Khetan as his successor.
Anantharaman will step down at the close of business on 20 March, 2026. Khetan will assume charge as group chief risk officer for a five-year term beginning 23 March, following approvals from the nomination and remuneration committee and the group risk management committee.
Khetan joined Jio Financial in July 2025 as head of integrated risk management. Since then, he has played a key role in building a unified risk governance framework across the company’s lending, insurance and payments businesses, with a focus on technology-led controls and a strengthened second line of defence.
A chartered accountant with over 24 years of experience, Khetan previously spent more than two decades at ICICI Bank, where he held senior roles across credit appraisal, risk policy, SME and MSME lending, supply chain finance, and retail and business banking distribution.
