IndusInd Bank derives its name and inspiration from the Indus Valley civilisation - a culture described by National Geographic as 'one of the greatest of the ancient world' combining a spirit of innovation with sound business and trade practices.
Mr. Srichand P. Hinduja, a leading Non-Resident Indian businessman and head of the Hinduja Group, conceived the vision of IndusInd Bank - the first of the new-generation private banks in India - and through collective contributions from the NRI community towards India's economic and social development, brought our Bank into being.
The Bank, formally inaugurated in April 1994 by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honourable Prime Minister of India who was then the country’s Finance Minister, started with a capital base of Rs.1,000 million (USD 32 million at the prevailing exchange rate), of which Rs.600 million was raised through private placement from Indian Residents while the balance Rs.400 million (USD 13 million) was contributed by Non-Resident Indians.
A NEW ERA
The merger with the Bank in June 2004 of Ashok Leyland Finance Ltd., among the largest leasing finance and hire purchase companies in India, set in motion a process of consolidation through the combined customer base of the merged entity and its increased geographical penetration. IndusInd Bank has become one of the fastest-growing banks in the Indian banking sector today with its branch network expanding from 61 as on March 31, 2004 to 137 as on March 31, 2006 – reflecting an increase in excess of 125% in 24 months. The Bank has approximately 150 ATMs of its own, and has concluded multilateral arrangements with other banks with a total network of 15,000 ATM outlets. All the outlets of the Bank, including its branches and ATMs, are connected via satellite to its central database that operates on the latest version of IBM’s AS400-720 series hardware and Midas Kapiti (now, Misys) software.
IndusInd Bank’s broad lines of business include Corporate Banking, Retail Banking, Treasury and Foreign Exchange, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Non-Resident Indian (NRI) / High Networth Individual (HNI) Banking, and (through a subsidiary) Information Technology.
IndusInd Bank provides multi-channel facilities including ATMs, Net Banking, Mobile Banking, Phone Banking, Multi-city Banking and International Debit Cards. It was one of the first banks to become a part of RBI’s Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system. It has implemented an enterprise-wide risk management system encompassing global best practices in the area of Risk Management, with help from KPMG. This has enabled the Bank to remain in the forefront in complying with the requirements of Basel II. It is the first bank in India to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification for its Corporate Office and its entire network of branches.
