The Joint venture between the two will focus on the growing financial services sector in India. The companies have planned to float a NBFC (Non Banking Financial Company) and offer private equity and investment banking services.

However latest reports from inside the joint venue say the firms will focus on proprietary trading business, with a focus on crude and Forex trading.
