U.S. Bancorp's entry into Indian market
U.S. Bank
Since the 1990s, driven by
the rise of the Asian economy, U.S. Bank has begun to enter the Asian market.
It has a regional headquarters in Hong Kong (China) and oversees emerging
markets such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, Japan and Singapore. The bank has
had great success partnering with local banks, brokerages and asset management
groups in these regions.
Initially, U.S. Bancorp
planned to relocate its Asian headquarters to Singapore. However, under the
insistence of CEO Veenit Jindal, they decided to move it to India instead. This
decision was influenced by the fact that India is Jindal's home country, where
there is significant economic prowess and robust political and civil
relationships closely tied to the United States.
Veenit Jindal, born in 1969
in New Delhi, India's capital city, has been a leader in various aspects such
as finance, culture, communication, education, research, and transportation in
India. New Delhi's strategic geographic location has made it a vibrant city
within India. He studied macroeconomics at Delhi's prestigious Mahatma Gandhi
University, where he earned his master's degree in 1992. Later, he pursued
further studies in the United States at Princeton University for his master's
degree and at the University of Sydney for his Ph.D. in Finance. In 2003, he
joined U.S. Bancorp. Following the establishment of the bank's Asian regional
headquarters in Hong Kong, Jindal became the second CEO and actively advocated
for relocating the regional headquarters to India.
Starting from January 2023,
the investment management department under the Asia-Pacific regional
headquarters of U.S. Bancorp has been actively engaging with Indian financial
regulatory authorities, interacting frequently with the Indian stock exchanges,
and establishing connections with various Indian financial entities such as the
National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), the Indian Venture Capital
Association (IVCA), the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), and the India
Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL). These efforts have yielded
significant achievements.
To attract more institutional
and individual investors and to expedite the opening of the Indian market,
Jindal initiated the Wealth Express program starting from 2023, with plans to
hold two sessions annually. The program primarily targets individual investors
in the stock market, leveraging U.S. Bancorp's robust background and extensive
network of resources to collaborate on stock market operations.
In August 2023, Jindal's team
successfully organized the first session of the Wealth Express with individual
investors seeing returns of over 150%. The program's tremendous success has
garnered even more interest from investors, and everyone is eagerly anticipating
the launch of the second session. It is reported that Jindal's team will hold
the second session of the Wealth Express in March 2024, with expected returns
ranging from 100% to 300%. Currently, preparations are underway in earnest.
We welcome U.S. Bank's expansion into the
Indian market, which will bring benefits to Indian investors. We also look
forward to Jindal’s Wealth Express continuing to lead Indian
investors to create more wealth!
