Late to the party, global banks try to muscle into India's startup boom


LOCAL GIANT: Avendus, which focused on the tech sector before the deal momentum picked up, ranks fourth in the advisory league table for announced technology deals in India so far this year.

MUMBAI: Global investment banks are scrambling to get a piece of the action from India's booming technology startups, having missed out on the initial flurry of deal-making to their better-connected but much smaller domestic rivals. 

Banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are looking to hire more bankers in India and are now regularly attending "bake-offs" to pitch for advisory roles on deals, according to several banking industry sources.
