Chanda Kochhar is the former MD and CEO of ICICI Bank who stepped down in October 2018 amidst investigations into allegations of corruption related to loans given to Videocon Industries. She had a long career at ICICI Bank, beginning in 1984 as a trainee and becoming CEO in 2009. However, in 2016 a whistleblower raised allegations of conflict of interest regarding a $456M loan from ICICI Bank to Videocon that benefited her husband's business. Both Kochhar and her husband have denied the allegations but the CBI has filed a criminal case against them related to the fraud and corruption charges.
