Shyam Srinivasan’s next big move: Former Federal Bank chief joins TVS Capital Funds

TVS Capital Funds (TCF) announced on Tuesday the appointment of Shyam Srinivasan as a Senior Advisor and Operating Partner. Prior to this role, Srinivasan served as the Managing Director and CEO of Federal Bank, a position he held since 2010. He stepped down from his role at Federal Bank in September last year.

“With over three decades of experience in banking and financial services, Srinivasan brings deep strategic expertise in institutional growth, digital transformation, and financial governance,” the company said in a statement.

As a Senior Advisor and Operating Partner, Srinivasan will provide strategic insights and operational guidance to TCF's portfolio companies, which primarily focus on the Indian financial services and technology-driven sectors. With over 35 partnerships and 28 exits, TCF manages approximately ₹5,000 crore across Fund 3 and Fund 4.

“With the launch of our fourth fund, TVS Capital is sharpening its focus on both control investing and transformational growth. Shyam’s depth of experience in financial services, strategic leadership, and keen industry insight will be invaluable in this journey. As we partner with businesses to scale into full-fledged, IPO-ready institutions, his expertise as a veteran banker will play a pivotal role in providing strategic direction, strengthening governance, enhancing operational excellence, and driving long-term value creation,” said Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman and Managing Director of TVS Capital Funds.

During his tenure at Federal Bank, Srinivasan led the bank’s national expansion, strengthened its digital capabilities, and improved asset quality, playing a key role in sustaining its financial growth. KV Subramanian succeeded him as the bank’s MD and CEO. After stepping down, Srinivasan mentioned that he would continue to be associated with one of the bank’s subsidiaries.

Srinivasan has received numerous industry accolades and has been honoured as a distinguished alumnus by both IIM Calcutta and NIT Trichy.
