HDFC Bank has appointed Anjani Rathor as its chief digital officer (CDO), who was previously the chief information officer at Bharti Airtel. According to his LinkedIn profile, he had been with Airtel for over 12 years.
Rathor will reportedly be responsible for enabling the adoption of digital technologies across the company and the performance of its digital channels. He has previously worked at Boeing, Accenture and Citicorp.
According to PTI, the position of CDO at the company was vacant since Nitin Chugh left the job in May 2019.
The appointment of Rathor comes after HDFC Bank’s net banking and mobile banking apps were reportedly down for several days in December 2019, and several users were not able to use the services at all. RBI had taken note of the issue, and had reportedly deployed experts on investigating the matter.
