Krazybee Services Private Ltd has announced the appointment of former executive director of Reserve Bank of India, G Gopalakrishna as an Independent Director.
Mr. Gopalakrishna has been a career Central Banker with RBI for over 33 years in various capacities and retired as Executive Director (ED) in 2014. During his stint as ED RBI, he was overseeing the Department of Banking Supervision, Dept. Of Non-Banking Supervision and Foreign Exchange Department, among others.

Speaking on the appointment of G Gopalakrishna, incumbent NBFC Director Vivek Veda said, “We are delighted to have Mr. G Gopalakrishna on our Board.

Commenting on the joining, Mr. G Gopalakrishna said, “Financial inclusion in a diverse demographic in India is the need of the hour. What impresses me about Krazybee Services Private Limited is not just the social sensitivity they have showcased by extending the credit line to consumers which are underserved largely by banking institutions & traditional NBFCs, but also the austerity with which they have managed their business and operations.”
