Final Project Icici Segment
ICICI Bank may be described as a social device to ensure protection of economic value of life
and other assets. Under the plan of ICICI Bank, a large number of people associate themselves
by sharing risks attached to individuals. The risks, which can be insured against, include fire, the
perils of sea, death and accidents and burglary. Any risk contingent upon these, may be insured
against at a premium commensurate with the risk involved. Thus collective bearing of risk is
ICICI Bank.
ICICI Bank is a contract whereby, in return for the payment of premium by the insured, the
insurers pay the financial losses suffered by the insured as a result of the occurrence of
unforeseen events. The term "risk" is used to describe the possibility of adverse results flowing
from any occurrence or the accidental happenings, which produce a monetary loss.
ICICI Bank is a pool in which a large number of people exposed to a similar risk make
contributions to a common fund out of which the losses suffered by the unfortunate few, due to
accidental events, are made good. The sharing of risk among large groups of people is the basis
of ICICI Bank. The losses of an individual are distributed over a group of individuals.

HISTORY
ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution,
and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46%
through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs
listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an allstock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional investors
in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the
Government of India and representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create
a development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing
to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial
institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide
variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates
like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial
institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE.
After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the emerging
competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards universal banking, the
managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI
Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal
legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value
for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits,

managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI
Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal
legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value
for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater
opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate in the payments system
and provide transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank
shareholders through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's
strong corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments,
higher market share in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to
the vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of
ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance
subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited,
with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January
2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of
Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger,
the ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, have been
integrated in a single entity.

Its nearest competitors in the private banking sector are HDFC Bank and AXIS (UTI) Bank.
As compared to ICICI Bank HDFC is frenetically seeking to shrug off the image of being a oneproduct company (home loans), by using synergies that exist with its bank to foray into various
areas like e-broking, mutual funds, and insurance. For ICICI Bank, it is imperative that it moves
away from the high-risk, low-return business of project finance.
ICICI is still puny when compared to HDFC but the objective is very clear : grow the business,
even if it has come at HDFC's cost. Kalpana Morparia, Executive Director, ICICI, maintains that
they got into home loans simply because it's one of the safest businesses to be in, given the low
default rates. ''Besides, the market is growing and there's space for all those who wants to enter.

LIMITATION
Strategic adoption of technology to ensure that ICICI transforms into a universal bank, which
will provide fast and efficient customer service besides offering the whole gamut of banking and
financial services.
The retention of clients can be done with better relationship building, proper interaction and
proper care of clients. By understanding the basic needs of the customers & by analysing then
financial situation of the customers the clients can be easily retained. The approach of the
company should not be product centric. It should primarily focus on clients and their needs. The
risk appetite of the customers should be calculated properly. The company should understand
that when and under what circumstances the clients need money. The company should target on
fulfilling the short as well as long term goals.
The company should review the portfolio of clients time to time. By proper monitoring and
rebalancing the portfolio at regular intervals the clients should be retained without any problem.
