Company Overview

Standard Chartered, with its base in Mumbai, is the largest foreign bank in India with 90 branches in 37 cities - the largest Indian network for a foreign bank. India is the bank's second largest profit generator after Hong Kong.

The bank was formed in 1969 through the merger of Standard Bank of British South Africa, founded in 1863, and Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, founded in 1853. It opened its first branch in India in 1858.

From its headquarters in the UK, Standard Chartered is listed on the London and Hong Kong stock exchanges. It consistently ranks in the top 25 FTSE 100 companies and is the UK's third largest bank in terms of market capitalisation. Standard Chartered has a over 1,750 branches and outlets in more than 70 countries and territories. It is looking to consolidate its presence in India even further by a listing on two of the country's stock exchanges with IDRs.

Standard Chartered offers corporate finance, treasury, custody and cash transaction services on the wholesale side in India and will start offering equity market advisory services in India in 2010. This move may be seen partly as an attempt to redeem the bank's advisory services after it failed to push through India's leading telecoms firm Bharti Airtel's acquisition of South Africa's MTN Group. The bank was forced to forgo fees when the deal collapsed in September 2009.

The bank opened a new branch in Gurgaon, northern India, in 2009 and was to open branches in Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh in 2010. It was reported that the bank intended to hire 3,000 new employees by the end of 2010.

Standard Chartered lost out to HSBC at the end of 2009 in the race to acquire RBS' assets in India, China and Malaysia. The deal was signed in December 2009 and will give HSBC an additional 31 branches in India.
