Yes Bank was founded in 2004 by Rana Kapoor and Ashok Kapur. Disputes arose between Kapoor and Kapur's family after his death in 2008 over board representation and shareholder rights. In 2015, an RBI audit found that Yes Bank had underreported bad loans by over 7 times. In 2019, a new CEO initiated a "kitchen sinking" that revealed over 16% of loans were to troubled firms, eroding investor wealth. The RBI eventually had to step in with a moratorium to save the bank from collapse and arrested Kapoor for money laundering.
