Aditya Sahni steps up as vice president at Morgan Stanley
MUMBAI: Morgan Stanley has appointed Aditya Sahni as vice president, strengthening its leadership bench across quality engineering and automation as global banks double down on resilient technology platforms.
In his new role, Sahni will focus on engineering excellence, automation strategy and delivery assurance across mission-critical systems, aligning technology execution with the firm’s global standards.
He joins the Wall Street bank from Bajaj Finserv, where he spent nearly four years and rose from senior lead to deputy national lead. There, he played a central role in stakeholder management, large-scale test automation and enterprise-wide quality initiatives.
Sahni’s earlier stints span automation and testing roles at invideo, Falkonry, Oracle and LTI – Larsen & Toubro Infotech, building deep expertise in automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines and enterprise technology delivery.
The appointment underlines Morgan Stanley’s continued push to strengthen engineering depth as financial services firms race to modernise platforms at scale.

YES Bank appoints S Anantharaman as chief risk officer
Former Jio Financial Services group chief risk officer takes charge of enterprise-wide risk at the embattled private lender
MUMBAI: YES Bank is not taking chances with risk anymore. The private lender has appointed S Anantharaman as its chief risk officer, a hire that signals the bank’s continued effort to rebuild credibility and tighten the controls that once famously slipped.
Anantharaman arrives from Jio Financial Services, where he served as group chief risk officer and built a risk management architecture spanning lending, payments, insurance broking and asset management from the ground up. Before that, he held the chief risk officer role at Bank of Baroda and senior leadership positions at HDFC Bank and L&T Finance Holdings. Three decades in banking and financial services, in other words, with scars and qualifications to match. He is a chartered accountant and a CFA charterholder.
At YES Bank, his brief is considerable. Anantharaman will oversee the bank’s entire enterprise-wide risk framework, covering credit policy, market risk, operational risk, information security, data governance, analytics, model governance and data privacy. It is, in short, every lever that matters when a bank is trying to prove it has grown up.
YES Bank’s turbulent past needs little rehearsing. What it needs now is exactly what Anantharaman has spent thirty years building: the kind of risk culture that stops problems before they become headlines. The appointment suggests the bank knows it.
