Sridhar Chityala

Principal & Managing Director
Vedas Group Asia | Elevate Innovation Partners

Sridhar Chityala brings over four decades of experience operating across global financial institutions, emerging technology companies, and public policy environments.

His career spans senior leadership roles at major international banks in the United States, Asia, and Australia, including service on the JPMorgan Chase Leadership Committee. Through these roles, he worked closely with regulators, policymakers, and industry bodies during periods of market expansion, systemic stress, and institutional rebuilding. This experience shaped a perspective grounded in capital preservation, governance discipline, and an understanding of how financial systems behave under pressure.

Alongside institutional leadership, Sridhar has worked closely with technology companies in their formative years, including TIBCO, Netscape, and PayPal. These experiences provided early exposure to how software-driven businesses scale, how infrastructure platforms gain adoption, and how innovation interfaces with regulated markets.

Sridhar has also served in advisory and board-level capacities with global payments and financial market infrastructure organizations, including Mastercard and SWIFT, focusing on payments modernization, trust frameworks, and the evolution of financial infrastructure.

In parallel, he has advised public-sector institutions and policymakers across the United States, India, and Australia on matters relating to financial systems, market structure, and economic policy. This work further informs his approach to capital deployment in environments where regulation, technology, and institutional incentives intersect.

At Vedas Group Asia, Sridhar provides institutional judgment and long-range context to the family office’s capital allocation and governance decisions. He plays a central role in shaping the firm’s emphasis on durability, alignment, and risk management across market cycles.

Sridhar works closely with his son, Shreyas Slater Chityala, in an intergenerational leadership structure designed to combine institutional experience with entrepreneurial execution and long-horizon capital stewardship.
