Sood will assume the role of managing director, while Chakka will lead the industrials segment within the investment banking division in Mumbai.
Both appointments are expected to take effect by December.
This move comes when Ashish Jhaveri, the former head of mergers and acquisitions for Barclays in India, departs for Jefferies Financial Group.
The bank's strategic agenda includes further recruitment of investment bankers in India to reinforce its foothold.
Sameer Sood, worked with Credit Suisse since 2010, and Srikanth Chakka, joined the firm two years ago.
