Computer Age Management Services Appoints New Leadership at MF Central

Computer Age Management Services Limited (CAMS) has announced significant leadership appointments at MF Central, a joint venture with KFin Technologies Limited. Supratim Bandyopadhyay has been appointed as the Non-Executive Chairman, and Rajesh Krishnamoorthy has been named Chief Executive Officer. These appointments are part of MF Central’s transition into a professionally governed stand-alone entity serving India’s mutual fund ecosystem. The announcement aligns with SEBI’s vision of a unified digital infrastructure for investors and intermediaries.

The financial terms of the appointments were not disclosed in the filing. However, the focus is on strengthening independent governance and reinforcing MF Central’s role as a neutral industry utility. The joint venture, MFC Technologies, was established following CAMS and KFintech’s collaboration to launch MF Central in 2021. This initiative was in response to SEBI’s directive to create a centralized platform designed to simplify investor servicing, enhance digital enablement, and standardize mutual fund processes across the industry.

Operationally, the new leadership will oversee technology development, ecosystem integrations, and platform governance for MF Central. The focus will be on maintaining an arm’s-length operating structure that supports neutrality across registrars, asset management companies, and intermediaries. Rajesh Krishnamoorthy, with over three decades of experience in capital markets, financial planning, and digital distribution, will lead efforts to strengthen execution, scale API-led integrations, and expand standardized servicing capabilities for AMCs, distributors, RIAs, and digital intermediaries.

The timeline for these leadership changes was not specified in the filing. However, the appointments are effective immediately as part of the ongoing transition of MF Central into a stand-alone entity. The new leadership structure is expected to facilitate the next phase of innovation and ensure that MF Central operates with the discipline and independence required to fulfill SEBI’s vision of a unified, investor-centric platform.

Entities involved in this transition include CAMS, KFin Technologies, and MFC Technologies. Supratim Bandyopadhyay, as Non-Executive Chairman, brings extensive experience from his previous role as Chairman of the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). Rajesh Krishnamoorthy, as CEO, has a background that includes serving as Country Head – India for the Financial Planning Standards Board (US) and founding Managing Director of the iFAST platform in India. Both leaders are expected to uphold high standards of corporate governance and ensure alignment with regulatory intent.

In the context of market relevance, MF Central was established to address SEBI’s directive for a centralized platform aimed at simplifying investor servicing and standardizing mutual fund processes. The new leadership appointments are intended to enhance MF Central’s governance framework, ensuring neutrality, transparency, and seamless industry-wide enablement. This aligns with the mutual fund ecosystem’s scaling and rising digital expectations.
