BNP Paribas Wealth Management has hired an ex-Credit Suisse banker to oversee the non-resident Indian market, finews.asia has learned.

Aditya Chauhan will join BNP Paribas Wealth Management as a market head for non-resident Indians (NRI), sources told finews.asia, and he is expected to be accompanied by a team of bankers. Based in Singapore, Chauhan will oversee all NRI bankers in the city-state and Hong Kong.

Chauhan was most recently working for Credit Suisse where he was also an NRI banker that reportedly began coverage of the Sri Lanka market in 2018 with a team of relationship managers. A spokesperson for the bank declined to comment.

Senior Hires

In 2021, BNP Paribas Wealth Management has made a number of senior private banking hires in Asia.

In addition to Chauhan, it added longtime Citi banker Kevin King as its China market head in March and ex-Standard Chartered banker Michael Yong-Haron as its Hong Kong CEO earlier this year.
