Barclays Returns to India Equity Advisory After 10 Years

Barclays Plc is set to reintroduce its equity advisory services in India, a move that highlights the bank's renewed focus on the country's dynamic financial market. The decision comes as India continues to be a top destination for global capital raising, with a surge in share sales over the past few years. Pramod Kumar, CEO of Barclays India, noted that the equity advisory offering is a key gap in the bank's wholesale banking portfolio. The return to the Indian market underscores Barclays' confidence in the region's long-term growth potential and its strategic alignment with evolving investor demands. This move is expected to bolster Barclays' presence in one of the world's most active fundraising hubs.
