History
[edit]Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited began as Kotak Mahindra Finance in 1985 when Uday Kotak founded a financial services company with initial funding from family and friends. The company initially focused on bill discounting, leasing, and hire purchase activities and gradually expanded into car financing and investment banking in the early 1990s. Strategic partnerships and diversification helped it evolve into a broader financial services group.
In 2003, the company received a banking license from the Reserve Bank of India and became the country’s first non-banking finance company to transform into a private sector bank. This transition marked a significant milestone, enabling expansion into traditional banking services. Subsequent acquisitions, including ING Vysya Bank in 2015, strengthened its branch network and customer base.
Today, the bank operates a comprehensive financial ecosystem encompassing retail banking, wealth management, insurance, and investment services. It continues to expand digital and financial solutions while maintaining a strong presence in India and international financial hubs.
