Kotak Mahindra Bank Introduction.

Kotak Mahindra Bank has a well-diversified business covering the commercial vehicle, consumer financing (cars, home and personal loans), capital market financing, corporate finance and asset reconstruction segments. The Kotak group also has a presence in car financing through Kotak Mahindra Prime Limited, now a 100 per cent subsidiary of the bank (after the exit of Ford Motor Credit Company from the earlier joint venture). The group has strong presence in fee based businesses linked to the capital markets such as investment banking through Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Ltd and in institutional and retail brokerage and portfolio management services through Kotak Securities Limited. Both companies are now ultimate 100 per cent subsidiaries of the bank after the buy out of Goldman Sachs from both the joint ventures by paying a consideration of Rs. 323 crore in March 2006. The Kotak group has a reasonable presence also in life insurance (through Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual, a 74:26 joint-venture with Old Mutual) and asset management (through Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund). Kotak Mahindra Bank converted itself into a commercial bank (from

its earlier constitution as a NBFC) in 2002-03 in order to provide a more comprehensive range of financial services to its customers. The bank is predominantly a retail bank with about 80 per cent of its assets in retail advances. On the corporate side, the bank is focusing on a fee-based income strategy to cross-sell the basket of products and solutions available across the Kotak group.

The group has a net worth of around Rs. 3,100 crore, employs around 9,600 people in its various businesses and has a distribution network of branches, franchisees, representative offices and satellite offices across 300 cities and towns in India and offices in New York, London, Dubai and Mauritius.
