After taking heat from investors for nearly four months as Rana Kapoor controversy unfolded, causing Yes Bank shares to plunge and thereby cause major losses to investors. However, Yes Bank shares have now reversed the trend and in fact, they are now seen as a money making machine. The sole reason for such an upbeat outlook for Yes Bank is the announcement of new CEO and MD. The respected Deutsche Bank India CEO Ravneet Gill has been named as Rana Kapoor's successor. Gill will take charge of Yes Bank from March, 2019, and the bank will appoint an interim CEO next week as Kapoor's tenure ends by January 2019. It was late September, 2018 when Rana Kapoor was asked to end his tenure in Yes Bank by RBI.
