This operation follows Hinduja Bank’s 40% participation in Paterson, in December 2008.
As one of India’s oldest brokerage houses, Paterson is well-known for the excellence of its investment services, as well as for the depth and long-standing relationships with companies, entrepreneurs and investors in South India as well as major cities across the nation. Dun & Bradstreet’s annual surveys have regularly recognized Paterson amongst the leading stock broking companies in India. Paterson serves a diversified group of customers comprising financial institutions, large corporate groups, high net-worth individuals and retail clients. Over the last year, it has expanded from 15 to 30 branches, and increased its transaction volume significantly.
Following a successful collaboration started in December 2008, Paterson Securities Pvt Ltd has become a key platform for the banking group in its integrated offer of access to India. The company will remain a separate entity, and become the central partner for Hinduja Bank in India, for stock broking, corporate finance advisory, research and asset management related services.

We are excited to further strengthen our global and local services together.” Ivan Schouker, Chief Executive, Hinduja Bank (Swizterland) Ltd
“The clear synergies and respective strengths of our institutions will enable us to expand and grow faster. The Paterson team is well geared to contribute to the Banking Group’s growth.” Maitreyan Amarnath, Chief Executive, Paterson Securities Pvt Ltd
