BNP Paribas, India

BNP Paribas is one of the leading Corporate banks in India. It is the second oldest foreign bank on Indian soil. BNP Paribas started its operations in Calcutta in 1860. In those days it was known as known as the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris (CNEP). BNP Paribas' integrity, consciousness and commitment to its business in India bailed it out of the 'cotton crisis' in 1865, protected it from crashing during the depression of 1929-32 and again during the Second World War in 1940, and finally kept it out of the infamous scam of 1992.

Presently, BNP Paribas has presence in eight key metros - New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad - and mini metros.
