My views are

11:55-18:22 Why Rajeev Ahuja was unfit to be appointed as CEO, RBL Bank and the suitability of R Subramaniakumar and Zarin Daruwala.

24:20 – 28:57 Implications of RBL Bank’s share price decline on wholesale depositors and on ESOPs.

33:00 – 34:54 Limited talent pool of leaders having crisis management experience in private sector banking.

38:57 – 40:28 With exception of HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank there is a deliberate lack of developing a cadre of internal leaders in private sector banking.

44:50 – 46:23 Since the succession issue has been resolved to RBI’s satisfaction, the regulator should consider withdrawing its director which will reassure stakeholders that all is now well with RBL Bank.

47:30 – 50:37 Future prospects of RBL Bank and whether shareholders may challenge the appointment of new CEO
