Risks and concerns


Problems with the Infrastructure


One of the biggest issues with the private banking sector in India is a need for more relevant and enough physical and IT (internet technology) infrastructure.

Perception Difficulties


In the Indian context, banks are seen as product pushers and sellers, rather than as portfolio managers or financial advisors.

HR (Human Resource) Difficulties


Talent is always in limited supply due to a need for qualified private bankers and high turnover rates.

Regulatory Difficulties


Indian regulators are still ill-prepared to handle the types of products and services that private banking provides.

Challenges of Scale


Due to a lack of sufficient assets under management or sufficient clientele, not all Indian banks have been able to expand their private banking activities (AUM: assets under management).
