Rakesh Patil has announced that he has taken up the position of Chief Information Security Officer at Jalgaon Janata Sahakari Bank Ltd. Sharing the development on LinkedIn, Patil confirmed the new role at the Maharashtra-based cooperative bank, marking a further step in his association with the institution.
Patil’s publicly available professional profile identifies his existing connection with Jalgaon Janata Sahakari Bank. The bank’s administrative directory also lists him as Senior Manager in its Information Technology department, providing background to his move into information security leadership. At the time of reporting, that directory continued to reflect his earlier designation.
His professional credentials include the Certified Information Systems Auditor certification from ISACA, issued in October 2025, according to his LinkedIn profile. This adds an information systems audit qualification to his experience within the bank’s technology function.
The appointment places Patil in a security leadership role within an institution whose operations include customer-facing digital banking services. Jalgaon Janata Sahakari Bank, headquartered in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, was established in 1979. Its stated banking offerings include deposits and lending products for customers across housing, vehicles and small and medium enterprises.
Digital delivery forms part of the bank’s operating environment. In its FY2024–25 annual report, the institution stated that a significant majority of its digital banking transactions were conducted through its mobile banking application. The report described the application as a channel through which customers could manage their finances remotely.
That digital footprint provides context for the information security function, which sits alongside the technology systems supporting banking operations and customer access. Patil’s existing association with the bank gives him familiarity with its institutional environment as he takes up the CISO position.
The LinkedIn announcement did not specify an effective date, reporting structure or detailed programme of security initiatives. It confirmed his appointment without outlining particular technology investments or changes to the bank’s security framework. Further details of his mandate have therefore not been attributed to the new role.
