History[]

In 1985, Uday Kotak founded what later became an Indian financial services conglomerate.[6] In February 2003, Kotak Mahindra Finance Ltd. (KMFL), the group's flagship company, received a banking licence from the Reserve Bank of India. With this, KMFL became the first non-banking finance company in India to be converted into a bank.[7]

In a study by Brand Finance Banking 500 published in February 2014 by Banker magazine, KMBL was ranked 245th among the world's top 500 banks with a brand valuation of around US$481 million and brand rating of AA+.[8][9]
