In our Mind Your Business' Monday chat with C-Suite, our guest is someone who looked up to both his biological father as well as the founding father of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

He is Rajeev Kannan, Co-Head of Asia Pacific Division, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC).

How has both father figures shaped his outlook on life and career?

As a banking veteran of more than 20 years, we tap into his experience on how this current banking crisis (2023) differs from the previous crisis in 1998 and 2008 and much much more in this insightful conversation.
