The board of ICICI Bank, the country's second-largest lender, will take a final call on appointing a successor to K V Kamath, its present managing director and chief executive officer, next month.
ICICI Bank has reported a decline in its quarterly net profit for the first time since its merger with ICICI.
The board also appointed K V KKamath as the non-executive chairman of ICICI Bank, a role being performed by his mentor Narayan Vaghul, who is scheduled to step down once his term ends in March. Vaghul has been with the ICICI group for 24 years.
