Curated by Indian School of Business (ISB), this unique case study titled ‘Merger of Equals: The Amalgamation Story of Indian Bank and Allahabad Bank’ encapsulates the remarkable journeythat Indian Bank embarked on, to successfully execute the amalgamation process.
‘Merger of Equals’ narrates the entire integration process which comprised of rigorous strategic planning and execution by Indian Bank, with impetus on the challenges faced and their answers found. The merger has made Indian Bank, a pan-India lender with significant presence in southern, northern and eastern parts of the country.
The amalgamation exercise ‘Project Sangam’ had a three-pronged approach on product/process, employee-customer communication and IT integration. The synergy benefits of the merger have started reflecting in terms of cost efficiencies as evidenced from the decline in cost-to-income ratio of the Bank (40.86% for QE June 2021). The integration of IT operations and systems have also resulted in economies of scale through vendor rationalisation, finer pricing on AMCs and improved operational efficiencies.
