IN 2019, US banking major Bank of America (BofA), which has its India head office in Mumbai, decided to commence its investment banking practice in Bengaluru, India’s unicorn hub. Since then, BofA has doubled the strength of its investment banking team in Bengaluru as it eyes a bigger slice of the start-up space. This comes at a time when the volatile stock markets have played spoilsport in many a unicorn’s journey of going public and the ventures have been forced to go back to private equity or venture capital players. “We were the first bank to have an investment banking team in Bengaluru focussed on the unicorn space. We believe it is important to be present in an ecosystem that is enabling the rise of new-age companies,” says Kaku Nakhate, President & India Country Head, BofA.
Not far from BofA’s office in Mumbai’s BKC is the office of another US banking major, JPMorgan Chase Bank India, that has been steadily expanding its commercial banking practice. The aim is to serve local mid-cap companies while making huge investments in the payments and transaction banking vertical to help digitise its MNC and e-commerce clients to better manage their cross-border flows, among other things.
