Client Associates Names Sahil Malhotra as Executive Director – Wealth

Client Associates, a multi-family office and private wealth management firm, has appointed Sahil Malhotra as Executive Director – Wealth, strengthening its senior leadership team as it expands its presence across North India.

Based at the firm’s Gurgaon headquarters, Malhotra will focus on deepening relationships with high-net-worth (HNI) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNI) families while supporting Client Associates’ expansion into emerging markets across the region.

The firm currently has a presence across 11 cities and manages approximately USD 6.1 billion in assets under advisory (AUA).

Strengthening Wealth Leadership Across North India

In his new role, Malhotra will work on expanding the firm’s wealth advisory capabilities while helping strengthen client engagement across North India.

His appointment comes as Client Associates continues to build its regional footprint and invest in senior leadership to support long-term growth.

More Than Two Decades of Banking and Wealth Experience

Malhotra brings over 20 years of experience across banking and wealth management, with expertise in investment advisory and working closely with affluent families.

His career includes leadership roles at Standard Chartered Bank, IndusInd Bank, Citibank and ICICI Bank, where he built extensive experience across wealth management and client advisory.

During his more than eight-year tenure at Standard Chartered Bank, he led the bank’s investment advisory business for North India, working with clients on their investment planning and wealth management needs.

Supporting Regional Expansion

As part of its broader growth strategy, Client Associates is expanding its teams in Dehradun and Chandigarh, with a focus on strengthening its presence across Western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and adjoining markets.

Malhotra will play a key role in driving this regional expansion while helping enhance the firm’s wealth advisory business across North India.

Leadership on the Appointment

Himanshu Kohli, Co-founder of Client Associates, said Malhotra’s experience in wealth management, investment advisory and his understanding of the North India market would add further depth to the firm’s capabilities.

He added that Malhotra’s experience working closely with families and leading investment advisory businesses would support Client Associates as it expands into newer markets and continues building long-term client relationships.

Malhotra on His New Role

Sahil Malhotra said Client Associates’ approach to understanding the broader wealth needs of families and its emphasis on building lasting relationships were among the factors that attracted him to the organisation.

He said he looks forward to working closely with the team while contributing to the firm’s continued growth and expansion across North India.
