Pramod Rao, the general counsel (GC) of Citibank India since 2013, will be re-joining the ICICI fold as ICICI Group GC, returning to the banking giant at which he had started his career.

According to sources, Rao has tendered his resignation at Citi and is likely to join ICICI by mid-August.

Rao declined to comment when contacted.

The 1996 NLSIU Bangalore graduate had joined ICICI in Mumbai after a brief tenure at Mulla & Mulla, only leaving as GC in 2012 to join up-and-coming law firm IndusLaw as a partner in Mumbai.

In 2013, he returned in-house to join Citi as its India GC.

ICICI Group’s vertical companies include ICICI Bank, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, ICICI Securities, ICICI Venture and others.

Godrej & Boyce head of corporate advisory Nilanjan Sinha will be heading up the group’s ICICI Bank company legal team, as first reported by Bar & Bench.

ICICI Bank is one the largest in-house legal teams in India, with around 300 lawyers.
