slice has appointed Sreedevi Pillai, former Chief General Manager – Risk Management at State Bank of India (SBI), as an Independent Director (Non-Executive) on its bank board.
Pillai brings 36 years of experience in banking, most of it spent at SBI, where she worked across areas including operational risk management, fraud prevention and monitoring, and enterprise and group risk management across the bank and its group entities.
During her tenure at SBI, she was involved in developing fraud detection frameworks that enabled the bank to implement large-scale monitoring capabilities within its operations.
Her appointment comes as slice continues to strengthen its governance and risk management structure as part of its long-term growth plans.
“We are glad to welcome Mrs. Pillai to the Board,” said Rajan Bajaj, MD & CEO, slice. "Building right from the very beginning and without compromise is what we’re trying to do with slice. And to be able to do that well for not a few, but everyone demands the kind of governance and risk expertise that only comes from leading institutions at scale. Mrs. Pillai has done exactly that. Her deep experience in operational risk, fraud oversight, and enterprise risk management at India's largest bank makes her a tremendous addition to our Board. We are fortunate to have her with us as we build for a future where banking is delightful for every customer."
“I am honored to join the Board of slice at this important stage of its evolution,” said Sreedevi Pillai, Independent Director, slice. “The bank’s commitment to building a transparent, digitally driven, and inclusive banking platform aligns strongly with the evolving landscape of responsible finance in India. I look forward to working closely with Rajan, the leadership team, and the Board to contribute to robust governance, prudent risk management, and sustainable growth.”
Pillai holds an MSc in Mathematics from St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi, and has professional certifications including Financial Risk Manager (FRM) and Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR) from the Global Association of Risk Professionals, USA.
