ICICI Bank:
Reaching Global Markets through Technology
Amar KJR Nayak1
The story of ICICI Bank indeed is quite exciting as we look into how the company has internationalized its business vis-a-vis the other banks from India. With the least number of international bank branches as compared to many of the other Indian banks, it stands tall in terms of its share of international business, especially in the foreign remittance business. In a short period of time, it has grown to be the largest bank in the private sector with a global foot print. Its share of international remittance business among the banks in
India has risen from 4% in 2003-04 to about 30% today while retaining over 75% of the total online international remittance business in India. How did it grow so fast? Did it face any challenges at home or outside to achieve these successes? What have been its strategies in the internationalization process of its business? In other words, what have been the secrets of its success?
Several pertinent questions come to mind when we look at the pace of growth of this company in a highly turbulent and competitive world of international banking that has been guarded for years by the well established, highly networked, international banks and remittance business houses. Let us explore some of the following issues to understand the company’s approach towards internationalization and how it broke through the old guards of international banks and remittance business houses.
• Why did ICICI Bank want to internationalize its business?
• Why did ICICI Bank choose to get into remittance business?
• What are the various sources of foreign remittance?
• How did the company reach the customers without physical presence?
• What are the various products on remittance business?
• What have been the challenges working with international partners and markets etc? • What were the basic strategies of ICICI Bank to succeed in its international
operation?

    Slightly less than half of the work force is in agriculture, but, services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for nearly two-thirds of India's output with less than one-third of its labour force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services, business outsourcing services, and software workers. India's economic growth began slowing in 2011 because of a decline in investment, caused by high interest rates, rising inflation, and investor pessimism about the government's commitment to further economic reforms and about the global situation.…

    There is growing optimism that both the world economy and the banking industry are recovering from the impact of the financial crisis. But the financial world has changed permanently, both in terms of the balance of power within the industry and how banks will be allowed to operate in future. Banks in emerging markets are now well capitalised and well funded and big enough to compete directly against their western counterparts in the global marketplace. They have greater potential for growth because of the relatively immature development of their domestic financial markets and their rapidly growing economies. But regulation will become an issue in the emerging markets just as it is in the more established western markets and may result in a return to more traditional business models. However, the regulatory environment will differ greatly from one country to the next. The stronger role of national governments within banking means the future model for banking and corporate governance is likely to be a hybrid of a regulated free market approach and so-called ‘state capitalism’. A key challenge lies in the dichotomy that financial markets are increasingly global while regulators are predominantly national. Greater international co-operation will therefore be needed to improve the stability of the global financial system. The dominant role of the US dollar and of the US banks is set to give way to a world where other countries, their currencies, their capital markets and banks, all play a greatly enhanced role. This…
