HSBC’s operations in India can be traced back to 1853 when the Mercantile Bank of India, which the HSBC Group acquired in 1959, was first established in Bombay (now Mumbai). The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, the commercial banking arm of the Group in India, has 45 branches spread across 24 cities in India.
