Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kotak Mahindra Bank share price was Rs 426 at 9:13 AM on 1 October 2026, up 2.16 percent, after the Reserve Bank of India approved the appointment of Anup Kumar Saha as the bank’s new Managing Director and CEO for a period of three years, effective 1 January 2027. Saha currently heads Kotak’s retail banking business and joined the bank in January 2026 after more than eight years as Managing Director at Bajaj Finance, having previously spent 14 years at ICICI Bank. He succeeds Ashok Vaswani, who announced in June 2026 that he would not seek reappointment when his term ends on 31 December 2026, after becoming Kotak’s first non-promoter CEO in January 2024. The stock’s 2.16 percent gain reflects investor relief at regulatory clarity on succession, a process that had been closely watched since Vaswani’s announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
