Zydus Lifesciences' Chairman Appointed As Director In RBI's Board

Zydus Lifesciences on Tuesday said its chairman Pankaj R Patel has been appointed as a part time non-official director in the central board of the Reserve Bank of India (RBl).

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the proposal of appointment of Patel for a period of four years from the date of notification of his appointment, or until further orders, whichever is earlier, the drug maker said in a statement.

He is also the chairman of the Board of Governors and Society, IIM, Udaipur and a member of the Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad.

Patel was also the president of the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) in 2016-17.
