| Mission Statement | Business Approach | Benefits of choosing Firstcall |
Firstcall India was created as the result simply of an observation concerning the market in the late- nineties: in India, and in particular the new economy segment, it was difficult to set up a dialogue between the world of finance and that of industry.
In a country in which the great majority of the entrepreneurial
community is made up of small,medium and large enterprises, this dialogue
was a great opportunity for those who were willing to engage in working
it out.
We therefore decided to concentrate our work on creating an entity
that would stand, metaphorically,half-way between finance and industry,
and would be able to recognise the financial values of an investment
bank but also be capable, at the same time, of perceiving the industrial
needs of small, medium and large size enterprises striving to grow
and of providing the appropriate answers.
We provide tailor made solutions to the SME and Large client segment by understanding their specific financial services requirements.
We are one firm defined by our total commitment to our clients,
our shareholders and each other. Our mission is to build unrivalled
partnerships with and value for our clients, through the knowledge,
creativity and dedication of our team leading to superior solutions
to our client specific requirements.
