Company History - Edelweiss Capital
Our Company was incorporated on November 21, 1995 
 as a public limited company. Our Company received its
 certificate for commencement of business on January 16, 1996. 
 The Company commenced investment banking
 activities and registered with SEBI as a Category 
 I Merchant Banker (as defined under the Securities and
 Exchange Board of India (Merchant Bankers) Rules, 1992) 
 and thereafter as a Portfolio Manager (as defined
 under the Securities and Exchange Board of India 
 (Portfolio Managers) Rules, 1993) and as an underwriter
 under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Underwriting)
 Regulations, 1993. We entered the business of
 securities broking in the year 2002 by acquisition of Rooshnil 
 Securities Private limited which later changed to
 Edelweiss Securities Private Limited and is presently known as 
 Edelweiss Securities Limited. The year 2004
 witnessed the foray of the Company into the businesses of 
 insurance advisory as well as commodities broking
 and trading. The business of insurance advisory is carried
 through the subsidiary, Edelweiss Insurance Brokers
 Limited. The subsidiary, ECAL Advisors Limited carries on the 
 business of commodities broking and trading.
 The Company also has its presence in non banking financial 
 activities through its subsidiaries, Crossborder
 Investments Private Limited (acquired in the year 2000)
 and ECL Finance Limited (incorporated in the year
 2005) which are NBFC’s. Edelweiss Real Estate Advisors 
 Private Limited, which was previously our subsidiary
 and our subsidiary Edelweiss Trustee Services Private Limited,
 were incorporated in the year 2006, for
 launching the company’s first real estate fund which was
 registered with the SEBI as a Venture Capital Fund
 (as defined under the SEBI (Venture Capital Funds) Regulations,
 1996)
 
 The Company raised funds through private equity 
 from Connect Capital Holdings in the year 2000. Greater
 Pacific Capital (GPC) concluded a strategic investment 
 in the Company in October 2005. Apart from fresh
 Investment in the Company, GPC also bought out Connect Capital 
 Holdings’ stake in the Company, thereby
 taking its equity stake to 20%. The Company also attracted
 capital from Galleon Diversified Fund, Heliconia Pte
 Ltd (which is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of GIC 
 (Ventures) Pte Ltd held through a wholly owned
 subsidiary Lathe Investment Pte Ltd), BIH SA and Shuaa Capital
 in 2006. Recently, investment in the company
 was made by Lehman Brothers Netherlands Horizons BV 
 and Galleon Special Opportunities Master Fund
