Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal has announced his resignation from Ujjivan Bank’s board. In a letter to the Board, the Flipkart co-founder stated that he is resigning “in the interest of propriety and corporate governance as an entity owned and controlled by him has made an application to the Reserve Bank of India for a universal banking license”.
Bansal added: “I hereby confirm that there are no other material reasons for my resignation as an Independent Director of the Bank other than those stated above.”
After the massive success of Flipkart, Bansal made an exit from the company when the global retailing giant Walmart acquired it. Bansal now seems focused on the fintech sector. He founded Navi Technologies after quitting Flipkart in May 2018.
Navi Technologies recently acquired MavenHive, a Bengaluru-based technology consulting firm, to push its product development initiatives. Navi Technologies' microfinance arm, Chaitanya India Fin Credit Pvt. Ltd (CIFCPL), has formally approached the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a universal banking licence.
