7. Future Landscape

Six months ago, India’s Kotak Investment Banking, a subsidiary of the powerful Kotak Mahindra group,
joined forces with Russia’s leading investment bank Renaissance Capital to tap new business opportunities
in the emerging markets. The alliance aimed to use Renaissance’s franchise in Russia, Africa and the
former Soviet Union and Kotak’s Indian experience to help big companies from those countries buy into
each other’s markets. Kotak was looking for a new partner after Goldman Sachs pulled out of a joint
venture in 2006 and opened its own offices in Mumbai.

The lure of new opportunities in Africa acted as an additional spur to compel Kotak to focus on emerging
markets. Middle-market M&A activity both in and out of India is driving the country's investment banks to
forge alliances abroad. Great expectations for Africa have been behind recent strategic tie-ups.
