ICICI Prudential AMC is one of India’s largest and most established mutual fund houses, operating as a joint venture between ICICI Bank and UK-based Prudential plc.

The company manages assets across equity, debt, hybrid and passive investment products, serving both retail and institutional investors.

Founded in 1998, the AMC has played a significant role in the growth of India’s mutual fund industry and consistently ranks among the top fund houses by assets under management (AUM).

The listing marks a major milestone for the asset management company and adds to the growing presence of financial services firms on Indian stock exchanges.
