I have never heard any Indian Last Name as Khatri! Have you.
So is the GMAC CFO Nepali? Just wondering.

The company's finance unit, GMAC, earned $605 million in the first quarter, compared with $728 million a year earlier. The performance continues GMAC's long streak of being GM's only profitable business. On a conference call with analysts, GMAC's chief financial officer, Sanjiv Khattri, said higher interest rates squeezed profit margins at the unit's residential mortgage unit, ResCap.

I think there are Indian Khatris too!!!!They are Sikhs...

Yeah , there are many khatries in India.

I don't know if GMAC CFO is nepali but I know that GM doesn't own GMAC anymore. GM sold GMAC unit to private investors for $14B sometime last month.

Dont wory, soon you'll hear more Nepali names in CEO and CFO positions!!!!We can do it!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjabi_Khatri

Khatris are an elite Kshatriya community that originated in the Pothwar plateau of undivided Punjab. When Pakistan and India gained independence, most of the Khatris in what became Pakistan migrated to India.

Today Khatris live in all regions of India, but are concentrated in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. While most Khatris are Hindu, some are also Sikh and a few belong to the Jain faith. Khatris of all these faiths collectively form one community. In modern times, the Khatri play a dominant role in the Indian economy, serving as businessmen, civil and government administrators, landlords, and military officials. They are by far the most educated group in Punjab.

Khatris have played a prominent role in Punjab. Prominent historical figures among the Khatris include all the Sikh Gurus (belonging to the Bedi, Trehan, Bhalla and Sodhi subcastes); Raja Todar Mal (a Tandon Khatri), who as Akbar's Revenue minister codified the revenue collection system; Haqiqat Rai (a Puri Khatri), whose martyrdom was celebrated on Basant Panchami at Lahore till the advent of independence; Hari Singh Nalwa (an Uppal Khatri), the prominent general under Maharaja Ranjit Singh; the father and son pair of the Diwans Sawan Mal and Mul Raj Chopra - successive governors of Multan under Ranjit Singh, the former instituted vast improvement in agriculture while the latter was instrumental in leading the revolt against the Brits to prevent the annexation of the Sikh kingdom into the East India Company territory.

There are also a whole lot of Punjabi Muslims who are Khatri converts on both sides of Indo-Pak border.
