HSBC strengthens its Global India private banking strategy with Gautam Anand leading client coverage across India, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK.
HSBC has appointed Gautam Anand as Head of Global India, HSBC Private Bank, effective 24 April 2026, as the bank expands its focus on serving internationally connected Indian clients.
The Singapore-based announcement comes as global financial institutions continue to deepen their India-linked wealth and private banking operations amid rising cross-border investments, family office activity, and outbound business expansion by Indian entrepreneurs.
Anand, who joined HSBC Private Bank in December 2023 as Global Coordinator for Global India across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe, will now lead the bank’s Global India private banking franchise. His responsibilities will include oversight of client coverage across India and key international hubs including Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK.
He will report to Tommy Leung, Head of Private Bank, South Asia, and Aladdin Hangari, Head of Private Bank, MENAT.
HSBC said the appointment is aimed at strengthening connectivity across its international network for Global India clients, a segment that has become increasingly important for multinational banks operating across wealth management and cross-border advisory services.
Anand brings more than 25 years of experience spanning private banking, wealth management and investment banking. Before joining HSBC, he held senior leadership roles at international financial institutions where he focused on expanding South Asian and Global India client businesses across Asia.
Commenting on the appointment, Tommy Leung, Head of Private Bank, South Asia, said: “As our clients become increasingly international in their outlook, the ability to deliver seamless cross-market solutions remains a key priority. Gautam brings deep experience and a strong track record in leading Global India client businesses, and his appointment will further strengthen how we connect our teams and capabilities across markets to better serve our clients.”
The move reflects a broader trend among global banks strengthening India-focused wealth management capabilities as high-net-worth Indian clients expand their investments, businesses and residency footprints across multiple international markets.
