Amruta Fadnavis exits Axis Bank as senior vice president after 23 years
Fadnavis marks end of long tenure spanning multiple banking verticals
MUMBAI: Amruta Fadnavis has stepped down from her role as senior vice president at Axis Bank, concluding a 23-year career at the private sector lender.
In a post on X, Fadnavis reflected on her journey from management trainee to senior leadership, describing her tenure as one shaped by learning, loyalty and long-standing professional relationships. She said she had worked across a wide range of functions, including branch operations, corporate banking, treasury and customer relations.
Calling Axis Bank her “family, teacher and second home”, she thanked colleagues and leaders who supported her growth over more than two decades. She made special mention of managing director and chief executive officer Amitabh Chaudhry, expressing gratitude for his leadership and guidance.
“As this beautiful chapter closes, I carry lifelong lessons and friendships,” she wrote, signing off with a note of thanks to the institution.
Fadnavis also shared photographs from her final day at the bank, including images from the Axis Bank office premises, marking a personal close to a long professional chapter.
Over her 23-year tenure, she held roles spanning frontline banking and strategic functions, gaining exposure to branch banking, corporate relationships, treasury operations and client engagement: a breadth of experience that has become increasingly rare in India’s fast-churning private banking sector.
