			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="lightbox[pics725]" href="http://www.provigator.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/citibank_logo1.jpg"><img class="attachment wp-att-726 alignright" src="http://www.provigator.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/citibank_logo1.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="120" /></a>Citibank is the consumer banking arm of financial services giant Citigroup. Citibank was founded in 1812 as the City Bank of New York, later First National City Bank of New York. As of June 2009, Citigroup is the third largest bank holding company in the United States by total assets.</p>
<p>Citibank has retail banking operations in more than 100 countries and territories around the world. More than half of its 1,400 offices are in the United States, mostly in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco/Silicon Valley, and Miami. More recently, Citibank has expanded its operations in the Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas, albeit with a mixed record of success. It was reported that Citigroup executives were pleased with the performance of the Boston branches, but were less impressed with the Philadelphia experiment, according to a person familiar with the situation.</p>
<p>In India, Citibank has been operating since 1902. The bank is present at 28 locations as of April 13, 2009. These locations include Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Noida, Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Indore, Bhopal, Surat, Nashik, Aurangabad, Akola, Bhubaneshwar, Kolkata, Vapi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Pondicherry, Cochin and Coimbatore.</p>
<p>On September 24, 2009, The Wall Street Journal reported that Citi planned to narrow the focus of Citigroup&#8217;s U.S. branch network to just six major metropolitan areas, including New York, Washington, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where Citi has a substantial presence but ranks no higher than No. 3 in deposits. The article also noted that Citi could abandon or scale back where it is an also-ran, including Boston, Philadelphia and parts of Texas, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.</p>
<p>In addition to the standard banking transactions, Citibank offers insurance, credit card and investment products. Their online services division is among the most successful in the field, claiming about 15 million users.</p>
<p>As a result of the Global financial crisis of 2008–2009 and huge losses in the value of its subprime mortgage assets, Citibank was rescued by the U.S. government under plans agreed for Citigroup. On November 23, 2008, in addition to initial aid of $25 billion, a further $25 billion was invested in the corporation together with guarantees for risky assets amounting to $306 billion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Products and Services in India</strong><br />

The company was established in the year 1963 as a single product company manufacturing high precision hermetically sealed panel meters for defense applications in Palakkad, Kerala, under the name of British Physical Laboratories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Within a span of 5 years BPL has exemplified the quest for excellence in the world of medical products becoming the country&#8217;s foremost in manufacturing electro-cardiographs. With the increasing nationwide infrastructure development in power &amp; telecommunication, BPL ventured into this field with its Power Line Communications Carrier (PLCC) and continues to be a leader in this field. With the advent of televisions in India, BPL used its manufacturing strengths and strong technical tie up with SANYO Japan to launch the BPL brand televisions in Indian market. With relentless commitment to quality, consistent dedication to customer satisfaction and unparalleled standards of service, BPL is recognized as a benchmark for new age technology, superior quality, digital concepts and personalized service that has ensured loyal customers and nationwide acclaim in the industry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">BPL established its image as a reliable and strong brand in the consumer durables market, a reputation that it still enjoys. In India, BPL has its footprint across the country through a distribution network comprising of over 7000 channel partners. Manned by customer friendly and informed sales persons.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Over the years, BPL&#8217;s growth has been subject to constant challenges. The company was started at a time when the government had reserved many areas of business for the public sector. It had also virtually barred most entrepreneurs from entering other fields through reservations on licensing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">From 1980 onwards, when the industrial licensing was relaxed, BPL began manufacturing televisions and telecommunications equipment, demonstrating its potential and future business area. In the early 1990s, after globalisation and liberalization of the Indian economy, competition entered the market. BPL retained its strong presence and growth rate. Strategic alliances with international companies provided the technology for them and set the standards of quality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Using its experience of the market and the consumer, BPL concentrated on importing technology, improving product quality, innovations and manufacture of electronic products that enhanced the quality of life. After 37 years, BPL has metamorphosed from an entrepreneurial venture, into India&#8217;s biggest consumer electronics company.</p>
