Can Fin Homes Limited said it has appointed Shailesh Kumar Singh as a Whole Time Director on the Board, designated as Deputy Managing Director, with effect from July 3, 2026. The appointment is subject to RBI approval and shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM on July 29, 2026. Singh joins Can Fin Homes with a robust banking pedigree and a mandate to steer strategic initiatives at the housing finance player.
Singh’s career spans more than 27 years in banking, most recently at Canara Bank where he rose to Deputy General Manager. He has led operations across rural, semi-urban, urban and metro segments, and has experience across branches, regional offices, circle and head offices, including Treasury. He established Cash Management Services from the ground up, drafting policies, selecting service providers and integrating with core banking systems, and onboarded more than 100 clients, contributing to non-interest earnings.
In appointing a seasoned banker to the top executive helm, Can Fin Homes signals a focus on expanding client reach and strengthening treasury and cash-management capabilities. The company notes the appointment is for a term not exceeding three years and is liable to retire by rotation, with shareholder consent needed at the AGM. Singh is not related to Can Fin Homes’ directors or other KMPs, underscoring adherence to governance norms. The move also aligns with Can Fin Homes’ broader objective of building leadership depth as it navigates a competitive housing finance market, while RBI approval remains in place to formalize the role.
