印度市值最大的银行——HDFC银行有限公司的一项内部调查发现，有证据表明两名高管向外界泄露了机密商业战略和可能涉及市场敏感信息，知情人士透露了这一情况。
An internal probe by HDFC Bank Ltd. — India’s largest by market value — found evidence that two senior executives disclosed confidential business strategies and possible market-sensitive information to outsiders, according to people familiar with the matter.
知情人士称，这两名高管负责监管银行的某些关键业务和职能。因讨论机密事项，他们要求不具名。
The executives oversee certain key businesses and functions at the bank, according to the people, who asked not to be named discussing confidential matters.
知情人士表示，在一些领导层担心可能存在信息泄露后，HDFC银行启动了内部调查，并在调查中锁定了这两名高管。调查仍在进行中，银行正继续审查该信息是否被滥用。
HDFC identified the executives during an internal investigation that began after some leaders grew concerned about the possibility of information being leaked, the people said. The probe is still underway as the bank continues to examine whether the information was misused, the people said.
HDFC银行发言人确认正在进行内部审查，但拒绝就调查结果或涉事高管置评。“根据我们的政策，目前正在对此事进行内部审查，以收集和评估所有相关事实，”该发言人通过电子邮件表示。“审查完成后将根据调查结果采取适当行动。”该行表示，致力于坚持最高的道德和治理标准，并严肃对待潜在违规举报。
An HDFC Bank spokesperson acknowledged an internal review, but didn’t comment on its findings or the executives involved. “In line with our policies, an internal review into this matter is currently underway to gather and evaluate all relevant facts,” the spokesperson said by email. “Appropriate action will be taken based on the findings, once the review is complete.”The bank said it was committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and governance and takes reports of potential violations seriously.
此次审查发生在HDFC银行的一个敏感时刻。该行市值约1150亿美元，花了三十年时间树立了稳健管理、内部控制强、盈利持续稳定的声誉。在经历董事会纠纷和管理层离职后，该行正准备迎来首位外部首席执行官。其股价今年以来已下跌约28%。
The review comes at a sensitive moment for HDFC Bank, which has a market value of about $115 billion and has spent three decades cultivating a reputation for conservative management, strong internal controls and consistent profitability. The lender is preparing for its first outsider chief executive following boardroom disputes and management departures. Its share price has declined about 28% this year.
知情人士称，调查及其结果今年早些时候已向高层管理人员（包括部分董事会成员）汇报。两名高管此后已被正式告知调查结果，但目前尚不清楚将采取何种纪律处分。
The probe and its findings were reported to senior management, including some members of the board, earlier this year, the people said. Both executives have since been formally informed of the findings, and it wasn’t immediately clear what disciplinary action will be taken, the people said.
这些调查结果增加了安普·巴吉面临的挑战，他是竞争对手ICICI集团的资深人士，将于10月27日出任HDFC银行首席执行官。
The findings add to the challenges confronting Anup Bagchi, a veteran of rival ICICI Group, who is set to become HDFC Bank’s chief executive on Oct. 27.
近几个月来，HDFC银行内部的分歧公开化。3月，时任主席阿塔努·查克拉博蒂突然辞职，理由是他的个人价值观与银行的某些做法存在分歧。该行委托进行的独立法律审查随后表示，他的担忧并未得到证实。
In recent months, internal divisions in HDFC have played out publicly. In March, then-chairman Atanu Chakraborty resigned abruptly, citing differences between his personal values and certain practices at the bank. An independent legal review commissioned by the lender subsequently said his concerns were not substantiated.
巴吉的任命是继现任首席执行官萨希达尔·贾格迪尚意外决定不寻求连任之后作出的。贾格迪尚在掌舵六年后卸任。
Bagchi’s appointment follows the surprise decision of Sashidhar Jagdishan, the incumbent chief executive, not to seek another term. Jagdishan is stepping down after six years at the helm.
副董事总经理、该行任职时间最长的高管之一凯扎德·巴鲁查也请求于12月底离职。
Kaizad Bharucha, deputy managing director and one of the bank’s longest-serving executives, has also asked to leave at the end of December.
HDFC银行成立于1994年，当时印度向私营竞争开放金融领域，该行成长为国际基金经理寻求分享印度收入增长和消费信贷扩张红利的首选投资标的。
Founded in 1994, as the country opened its financial sector to private competition, HDFC Bank grew into a preferred investment for international fund managers seeking exposure to India’s rising incomes and expanding consumer credit.
