L&T Mutual Fund, stepped into Fund Management Business back in September 2009 after it acquired DBS Cholamandalam AMC for Rs 45 crore and retained its CEO, Sanjay Sinha to head the team of 80 members under him.

The move happened after a series of exits from the company.

In October last year, Anish Shah, vice-president, finance and operations, put in his papers to join Deutsche Bank. Earlier, Deepak Mehta, national head, retail sales, had quit to join UTI AMC.
