He reports to Gunjan Kalra, head of CCB for Asia North, Australia and Asia South clusters, Tibor Pandi, Citi country officer and head of banking for Citi Singapore, and Gaurang Hattangdi, head of coverage, Citi Commercial Bank. Amit will serve as head of CCB for Singapore and also continue to be the head of emerging corporates (EC) for Asia.

Amit brings over 30 years of experience in banking across different roles.

He has been the head of EC for Asia since 2017 and prior to this, he was Asia Pacific head of commercial lending management from 2012 to 2017.

Kalra said: “Singapore is an important hub for CCB, given its status as a top financial centre as well as its proximity and connectivity to other Asian markets. We are seeing the emergence of a number of emerging and mid-sized corporates in Singapore that are pursuing regional and global expansion. With his expertise and track record, Amit is well placed to support our CCB clients’ ambitions and help them grow their businesses, while taking our Singapore business to greater heights.”
