Kolkata: Partha Pratim Sengupta assumed charge as new MD&CEO of private lender Bandhan Bank with effect from Friday, the lender said.
Ratan Kumar Kesh, who appointed as interim MD&CEO of Bandhan Bank after retirement of its founder Chandra Sekhar Ghosh, will resume his role as executive director and chief operating officer, with the joining of Sengupta.
