Explanation:
In 2021, Axis Bank struck a deal to buy the retail banking business of Citibank India. This acquisition includes Citibank's credit card business, retail banking operations, and other related assets. The deal was valued at around ₹12,325 crore.

  • The acquisition was part of Citigroup's global strategy to exit certain retail banking operations in markets where it does not have significant scale or growth potential.

  • Axis Bank's acquisition enhanced its presence in the credit card and consumer banking sectors, with a customer base expansion and increased retail products.
