Citi India has promoted Rahul Suri to Senior Vice President, reinforcing its leadership bench as it deepens focus on client-centric growth across treasury and transaction banking. Based in Gurugram, Suri will continue to play an expanded role within Citi’s Treasury and Trade Solutions (TTS) business, where he is responsible for strengthening client engagement and delivering value-led banking solutions to commercial and institutional clients.
The elevation reflects Citi’s confidence in Suri’s ability to combine deep transaction banking expertise with strong relationship management capabilities. In his new role, he is expected to further support clients navigating increasingly complex cash management, trade finance, and cross-border transaction requirements, while aligning Citi’s global capabilities with local market needs.
Suri brings nearly two decades of experience in the banking sector, the majority of which has been spent at Citi India. Over the years, he has steadily progressed through a range of frontline and leadership roles, including Vice President, Citi Business Specialist, Regional Sales Manager, Sales Manager, and Acquisition Manager. This broad exposure has given him a comprehensive understanding of commercial banking, client acquisition, portfolio management, and regional growth strategies.
Before joining Citi, Suri worked with ICICI Bank as Area Sales Manager – Merchant Acquisition, where he gained early experience in building merchant networks and driving transaction volumes. This foundation has helped shape his customer-first approach and practical understanding of client needs across segments.
Colleagues and industry peers credit Suri’s rise to his consistent performance, deep client insight, and ability to deliver solutions that balance operational efficiency with long-term value creation. His long-standing contribution to Citi’s commercial banking franchise has also played a key role in strengthening client trust and sustaining growth across key markets.
As Citi India continues to invest in its Treasury and Trade Solutions business amid rising demand for integrated, technology-led banking services, Suri’s elevation signals the bank’s emphasis on developing leaders from within. His expanded mandate is expected to support Citi’s broader objective of delivering differentiated transaction banking solutions while reinforcing its position as a trusted partner to businesses operating in an increasingly global and digital economy.
