In a major development, Kotak Mahindra Bank on April 30, 2024 through an exchange filing announced that Krishnan Venkar Subramanian (KVS Manian), has resigned from his position as Whole-time Director designated Joint Managing Director.

"I think banks have the highest switch ratio in all industries. One manager is easily found managing another bank in 6 months. same with the top management . Too much witch hunt?," added another X user

"Please remember banks had attrition rate of Mid thirties. When i saw that few years back i was surprised. I thought its probably 1 bank but slowly realised its across the banking industry excluding PSU . So top management and board levels are too in the similar boat," added an X user named Sanjay Panda.
