Indians are known world over for their regular savings habit. We have imbibed this very healthy habit from our forefathers who practiced it in their own way throughout their life, and lived a safe and satisfactory retired life due to this habit. In this generation too the same habit is widely prevalent. We invest in traditional savings like Bank Deposits, Mutual Funds, and many such avenues. The latest being, investments in stocks and shares. In the last two decades people investing and trading in stocks and shares of various companies that are listed in most of our stock exchanges that are spread across India, has become a regular means of earning extra income, or a means of creating savings in the near future. What if the companies whose shares are publicly traded in stock exchanges wishes to expand its fund raising capacities to opportunities to raise funds from people from other countries. This is where ADR and GDR come into picture.
