Barclays has appointed Adrish Ghosh as Head of its Private Bank for India, the firm announced on Thursday.
Ghosh, who has been serving as Interim Head since August 2025, previously led distribution for the Private Bank in India and has played a central role in expanding client engagement and supporting business growth.
With more than 25 years of experience in financial services, Ghosh will oversee the strategic development of the business, including the provision of tailored solutions for clients seeking access to international wealth corridors.
He will also lead efforts to deepen the Private Bank’s presence in India, a market the bank describes as strategically important. Ghosh joined Barclays in 2008 after roles at IL&FS Group spanning private equity, fiduciary services and business development.
He will continue to report to Annabelle Bryde, Head of Barclays Private Bank International.
Following Ghosh’s appointment, Pranav Khanna will take on an expanded role as Head of Distribution for Private Bank India. Khanna, who joined the bank in 2025, also brings more than 25 years of experience across wealth management and fiduciary advisory.
Bryde stated that Ghosh had been pivotal in strengthening client engagement and driving growth, adding that his leadership positions the business “for the next phase” of expansion.
She said Khanna’s broader role would help enhance distribution capabilities and ensure clients continue to receive the full breadth of the bank’s offering.
India remains a core growth priority for Barclays, supported by rising demand from ultra-high-net-worth clients and family offices. Recent hiring has added more than 30 senior bankers and product specialists to the franchise.
