State Bank of India has appointed Shri Dipesh Raj as the new Chief General Manager (CGM) of its Lucknow Circle. He officially assumed charge on May 14, 2026, bringing with him nearly three decades of rich banking experience and administrative expertise.
Shri Dipesh Raj began his career with SBI in 1997 as a Probationary Officer. Over the last 29 years, he has handled several key assignments across multiple departments of the bank and earned recognition for his leadership skills, operational efficiency, and professional excellence. His long association with the country’s largest public sector bank reflects his deep understanding of banking operations and institutional management.
Before taking over the Lucknow Circle, Shri Raj was serving as General Manager (Network-2) at SBI’s New Delhi Circle. During his tenure there, he played an important role in strengthening operational networks and improving banking services. His appointment to the Lucknow Circle is being viewed as a significant administrative development within the bank.
Shri Dipesh Raj succeeds Shri Dipak Kumar De, who has been elevated to the position of Deputy Managing Director (DMD) and transferred to the Corporate Centre.
