History
[edit]ICICI Bank traces its origins to the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI), which was established on 5 January 1955 as a government-backed financial institution. It was formed as a joint venture between the World Bank, India’s public-sector banks, and insurance companies to provide long-term project financing to Indian industries. Sir Arcot Ramasamy Mudaliar served as the first Chairman. In 1994, ICICI set up ICICI Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary in Vadodara, marking its entry into commercial banking.
During the 1990s, ICICI transformed from a development financial institution into a diversified financial services group. ICICI Bank expanded rapidly, launching internet banking services in 1998 and becoming the first Indian company and the first non-Japanese Asian bank to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1999. In 2002, ICICI Ltd. merged with ICICI Bank in a reverse merger, effectively privatizing the institution and creating one of India’s largest private sector banks.
Over the years, ICICI Bank grew through strategic acquisitions and global expansion. It acquired several institutions including Bank of Madura (2001) and Bank of Rajasthan (2010), strengthening its domestic presence. The bank expanded internationally with subsidiaries in the UK and Canada and branches across multiple countries. Today, ICICI Bank is recognized by the Reserve Bank of India as a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB), highlighting its significant role in India’s financial system.
