About

Described by one nominator as a ‘focused and dedicated professional’, P.S.N. Prasad joined the Reserve Bank of India, India’s central banking institution, in 1998. Prior to this he had a successful eight year spell at Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO), a premier techno-financial institution operated by the government of India, where he rose through the ranks gaining two promotions to the position of law officer. Replicating his rise at Reserve Bank of India after joining in 1998, Prasad held a number of positions before being appointed as legal adviser in the rank of chief general manager in 2015. He now boasts over 30 years of in-house experience and is well known across the industry for his exceptional expertise and his ability to manage projects in times of considerable stress. His current role for Reserve Bank of India covers interpretations of laws, drafting of pleadings, legal opinions, liaison with advocates, appearing before quasi-judicial authorities, conducting cases, consumer forums and other authorities. As one source states Prasad is a ‘dynamic boss who will go to the ends of earth to support and help his juniors and colleagues’, using this mentality to oversee the 40 law officers in his department. Explaining his approach to managing his team and working with Reserve Bank of India’s CEO, Prasad says ‘we work together to strengthen our efforts to achieve organisational goals and objectives; we work with mutual respect and maintain cordiality in our relationship’.
