In response to recent media reports, ICICI Bank has refuted claims regarding the potential resignation of its Managing Director and CEO, Sandeep Bakhshi. Reports from various sources, including The Morning Context, suggested that Bakhshi intended to step down due to personal reasons, sparking a wave of speculation and concern.
ICICI Bank released an official statement categorically denying the allegations, labeling them as “baseless and misleading.” The bank emphasized that Bakhshi remains committed to his role and that the rumors are without merit. Furthermore, ICICI Bank condemned the spread of such misinformation, attributing it to ulterior motives aimed at damaging the bank’s reputation.
The controversy arose following reports claiming that Bakhshi had expressed a desire to resign due to personal emergencies, although the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) purportedly opposed his departure. These reports circulated despite Bakhshi’s recent re-appointment as MD & CEO until October 2026, approved by both the RBI and the bank’s shareholders.
Despite the turbulence caused by these rumors, ICICI Bank’s shares have remained resilient, reflecting investor confidence in the bank’s leadership and stability. The bank’s robust financial performance, including a significant increase in net profit and market capitalization, further reinforces this confidence.
