A Study on Merchant Banking with respect to Indian Economy.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Merchant banking is a type of financial service that does more than regular
banking. It helps businesses in various ways, like getting money, offering
financial advice, handling investments, and assisting with company deals.
Merchant banks act as middlemen between companies that need cash and people
who want to invest. They're essential in finance because they help businesses
grow and manage their money well. In simple terms, merchant banking is about
giving businesses financial help and advice to help them succeed.
Merchant banking is a vital part of India's financial world, and it's especially
interesting when we focus on the private sector. These private sector banks have
become important players in India's fast-growing economy. They help companies
raise money and provide expert advice on various financial matters.
The growth of private sector merchant banking in India is linked to the country's
economic changes that started around the 1990s. These banks are not your typical
banks; they do more than just hold your money. They help businesses find
funding and assist with things like buying or merging with other companies.
Their role has not only boosted India's economy but has also made its financial
markets more efficient and competitive. This is a fascinating area to study, given
its impact on India's economic landscape.
Private sector merchant banks in India wear multiple hats. They are financial
intermediaries that connect companies looking for funds with investors looking
for investment opportunities. These banks help businesses raise capital through
methods like Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), private placements, and bond issues.
Additionally, they offer advisory services, guiding companies on mergers,
acquisitions, and restructuring strategies to optimize their financial performance.
The rise of private sector merchant banking in India can be attributed to the
country's economic liberalization policies, which were initiated in the early
1990s. These policies aimed to open up the Indian economy to foreign
investments, reduce government control, and promote private sector
participation. This environment created opportunities for private merchant banks
to flourish by providing innovative financial services and solutions.
