MF Central Strengthens Independent Governance; Appoints Supratim Bandyopadhyay as Non-Executive Chairman and Rajesh Krishnamoorthy as CEO

MUMBAI/CHENNAI, 26 February 2026 – MFC Technologies Private Limited (“MFC Technologies”), the joint venture between Computer Age Management Services Limited (CAMS) and KFin Technologies Limited (KFintech), today announced key leadership appointments as MF Central transitions into a professionally governed stand-alone entity serving India’s mutual fund ecosystem. 

Mr. Rajesh Krishnamoorthy has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer, while Mr. Supratim Bandyopadhyay will serve as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. The appointments mark an important step in strengthening independent governance and reinforcing MF Central’s role as a neutral, interoperable industry utility aligned with SEBI’s vision of a unified digital infrastructure for investors and intermediaries. 

MFC Technologies was established following CAMS and KFintech’s collaboration to launch MF Central in 2021, 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. 

Mr. Rajesh Krishnamoorthy brings over three decades of experience across capital markets, financial planning and digital distribution. He previously served as Country Head – India for the Financial Planning Standards Board (US) and was the founding Managing Director of the iFAST platform in India. He currently serves in board and advisory roles across the investment ecosystem and has contributed to industry and regulatory initiatives focused on investor advisory frameworks. His appointment reflects MFC Technologies’ focus on strengthening execution, scaling API-led integrations and expanding standardized servicing capabilities for AMCs, distributors, RIAs and digital intermediaries. 

Mr. Supratim Bandyopadhyay is a seasoned financial services leader who previously served as Chairman of the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). He brings over three decades of experience at Life Insurance Corporation of India, including senior leadership roles in investments and pension fund management. 

With a dedicated Board and full-time executive leadership in place, MFC Technologies will oversee technology development, ecosystem integrations and platform governance for MF Central, ensuring an arm’s-length operating structure that supports neutrality across registrars, asset management companies and intermediaries. 

Anuj Kumar, Managing Director, CAMS, said, “As SEBI’s vision of a unified, investor centric marketplace continues to gain momentum, this step further strengthens MF Central’s readiness to play a central integrative role within the ecosystem. With the mutual fund ecosystem scaling and digital expectations rising, MF Central’s governance framework must evolve with equal rigor to ensure neutrality, transparency and seamless industry-wide enablement. With independent leadership and clear governance structures now in place, we are confident that under the combined guidance of Mr. Bandyopadhyay and Mr. Krishnamoorthy, the entity will operate with the discipline and independence required to fulfil SEBI’s vision of a unified, investor centric platform” 

Sreekanth Nadella, MD and CEO, KFintech, said, “From its inception, MF Central was intended to be a secure, hyper-scale ecosystem. This transition to an independent Board-led structure provides the speed and focus necessary for the next phase of innovation. Rajesh Krishnamoorthy’s deep execution discipline and understanding of capital market participants make him the ideal leader to strengthen stakeholder confidence while driving technical interoperability at scale.” 

Supratim Bandyopadhyay, Non-Executive Chairman, MFC Technologies, added, “Our mandate is to ensure that MF Central serves as a resilient, secure digital rail for the industry. My focus will be on upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and ensuring that as we scale, we remain strictly aligned with the regulatory intent of enhancing investor convenience through standardization and transparency.” 

Rajesh Krishnamoorthy, Chief Executive Officer, MFC Technologies, sad, “MF Central has already proven its value as a facilitator of non-financial transactions. Our next objective is to deepen that trust by building a robust, API-first infrastructure that supports the full spectrum of financial transactions and intermediary services. Our objective is to build a robust, scalable and standards-driven digital infrastructure for the mutual fund industry, focused on reliability, security and ecosystem integration.” 

With this new leadership structure in place, MFC Technologies will focus on expanding intermediary services, strengthening digital architecture and security frameworks, and deepening ecosystem integrations to support a standardised mutual fund servicing experience.
