HDFC Bank CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan has pushed back on recent governance concerns with a direct statement: 'No US lawsuits have been filed.'

The bank clarified that no lawsuit has been filed in the United States, that it is prepared to defend its position with facts if required, and that it continues to stand by its governance framework and long-term fundamentals. Jagdishan drew a distinction between an investigation, an allegation and an actual legal proceeding — categories that market commentary often collapses into one.
