In his new position he is expected to further develop Societe Generale’s markets activities in India including derivatives, foreign exchange and INR products.
Rajat Kohli has more than 14 years of experience in the financial markets across various asset classes. He previously worked at BNP Paribas for 11 years, with his most recent role as head of institutional business in their Global Markets division.
