Early life and education

[edit]

Professional career

Career

[edit]

In 1982 and at the age of 22, Gupta started his career at Citibank India as a management trainee.[6] He did several assignments with Citibank India, eventually being the chief-of-staff to the India head. He moved to Singapore in 1991 as the chief-of-staff to the Asia head, and was posted to Indonesia in 1998, as country manager. In 2000, he left Citigroup to start up a dot-com company, but closed his venture and re-joined Citigroup in 2001.[7] Gupta was country officer in Malaysia from 2002 to 2007, where he helped built up Citigroup's branch network, before assuming the role of country officer in Singapore and the head of the Corporate and Investment Bank in ASEAN. In 2008, Gupta was appointed the CEO of Citibank in South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

In 2009, he left Citigroup to join DBS Group as the CEO. As CEO, he received various business awards, and has been credited with growing DBS to become a leading Asian financial services group.[8][4] Early on in 2013, Gupta also realized that DBS needed to start thinking like big tech. "Our frame of reference had to be Amazon or Alibaba. We had to stop thinking about what other banks will do. We had to start thinking about what big tech will do."[9]

In 2018, Gupta addressed an audience of top business leaders at the Asia Leaders Series in Zürich, Switzerland, stating that "Few people have come to the recognition that Asia is no longer the factory of the world, it is the marketplace of the world." He then elaborated, "Anybody who wants to allocate capital and is not looking at riding on the Asian growth story over the next 10-15-20 years is really missing a big opportunity."[10]

In 2020, he led DBS to launch two new exchanges, and undertake two acquisitions.[11] Gupta has come out with the importance of future blockchain driven Web 3.0 world with the cautious conclusion at a panel discussion titled, Global Trends and Web 3.0 at the Singapore FinTech Festival in 2021.[12]

Now, the problem with Web 3.0 is when you take that argument to the next phase, it's not only the intermediaries you start questioning. You don't need a central bank. You don't need the regulators. And by the way, guess what, you don't need nation states. You don't need governments. And then you start getting into this thing that is not a question of technology. That's a question of social politics, and a question of philosophy. Do we as mankind prefer to live in a world where eight billion of us are individual agents, without any organising principles such as countries, states, central banks, regulators and boundary keepers? I would argue that it is very, very hard for us to get there.[12]

In 2024, he announced on August 7 that he would step down from his role on March 28, 2025. Tan Su Shan was appointed deputy CEO with immediate effect and will succeed him.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Gupta enjoys reading and bird watching.[14] He plays golf and badminton, and does crosswords. He is an ambassador for CanKids India,[15] a non-governmental organisation that supports victims of childhood cancer. His wife, Ruchira, is a physiotherapist.

A long-time permanent resident of Singapore, Gupta was naturalized as a Singapore citizen in 2009.[16][17] Gupta also possesses an Overseas Citizenship of India, a form of permanent residency for former citizens of India.

Criticisms and Challenges

Service Disruptions and Reliability Issues

During Piyush Gupta's tenure as CEO of DBS Bank, the institution experienced multiple significant service disruptions, particularly in its digital banking platforms, which undermined its reputation as a leader in digital transformation. A major outage on March 29, 2023, lasted approximately 12 hours, affecting online banking, card payments, ATM withdrawals, and interbank transfers for millions of customers in Singapore. Gupta described the incident as "sobering and embarrassing," noting it was the second such major disruption in 16 months, following a 2021 server degradation that limited customer access. Subsequent outages compounded reliability concerns, with four out of five major disruptions in 2023 attributed to software bugs or , including incidents on (digital services downtime due to an internal mistake during ), September 26, , and October 20. These events disrupted payment systems and customer access, leading to widespread complaints and highlighting vulnerabilities in DBS's infrastructure despite prior investments in technology. The (MAS), the primary regulator, deemed the repeated failures "unacceptable," citing inadequate resilience measures and over-reliance on a single Citrix platform for access controls. In response, MAS imposed escalating penalties, including in May 2023 a 1.8x multiplier on 's operational risk-weighted assets, equivalent to additional capital requirements of about S$979 million, and in November 2023 a six-month prohibition on non-essential activities (such as new business expansion) alongside a further S$615 million in capital buffers.

DBS responded by establishing a special committee for root-cause analysis, apologizing publicly, and outlining a multi-year roadmap for resiliency, including enhanced testing, redundancy in critical systems, and reduced dependency on third-party software.

This adjustment occurred despite reporting record profits of S$10.3 billion for 2023, highlighting tensions between financial performance and operational reliability. The pay reduction followed significant public and regulatory scrutiny over DBS's service outages, including a major November 2023 incident affecting payment systems and ATMs, which drew criticism from customers, lawmakers, and Singapore's central bank, the (MAS). Commentators argued that the 30% variable pay cut for —while steeper than the 10-20% reductions for other senior executives—still raised questions about sufficient , given the disruptions' impact on and the bank's systemic importance in . DBS defended the structure as aligned with "pay for performance" principles, emphasizing that the cuts were self-imposed to signal leadership responsibility amid external pressure. In 2024, Gupta's total rebounded to a record S$17.58 million, a 57% increase from 2023, comprising a base of S$1.5 million, bonus of S$6.645 million, deferred of S$9.355 million (with 17.1% in ), and other benefits of S$80,533. This elevation was attributed to exceptional financial results, including record revenue of S$22.3 billion, net profit of S$11.4 billion, and an 18% , alongside improvements in technology resiliency. A special S$2.5 million recognition was also included, positioning Gupta among Asia's highest-paid bank CEOs.
