WEAKNESS
1. TRANSACTION COST: ICICI Bank charges high cost for its the provisions of of adequate accounting records, in accordance with transactions. Through our data analysis we have find out that most of the small companies for the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the Companies Act, 1956 prefer nationalized banks the assets of the Bank and for preventinggroup has safeguarding only because of this cost factor. Also the and detecting found out that there are companies which are going for multi bank system i.e. fraud and other irregularities; and they are using only those facilities of ICICI Bank which are provided at cheaper rates (readthey have prepared the annual accounts theya are going to 4. that Salary Account) and for other services on going concern nationalize basis. and MNCs (read Forex).

4. LITTLE PRESENCE OUTSIDE INDIA: ICICI Bank is having little presence Outside India, because of which companies are preferring MNC Bank, mainly Citibank. So if ICICI Bank tries to emerge outside India then it has a huge potential of customers.
5. POOR CUSTOMER CARE/SERVICE: With its aggressive marketing ICICI Bank is rapidly increasing its customer base. They are not however, increasing the number of employees accordingly. This is leading to deterioration of the standard of customer service.
OPPORTUNITIES 1. NEW IT & ITES COMPANIES: IT & ITES sector is on a boom in the Indian market context, with new companies mushrooming in the market; it opens the door for ICICI bank to capture the huge untapped market.
2. Dissatisfied Customers of Other Banks: The group from its survey and analysis of IT companies have found out that there are many companies which are not satisfied with its current bank, so ICICI with its superior service quality and long working hours can capture those customers.
3. Remittances: From the analysis group has also found out that ICICI bank has very little presence as far as the EEFC account is concerned. Companies prefer to bank with MNCs (which have greater presence in the foreign countries) and nationalized banks (which according to the companies provide lower transaction rates) to get their inward remittances in spite of ICICI being providing one of the most competitive rates. So the bank can promote its EEFC account better and get the key to the door of huge potential market.
Page 53
4. Business advising for smaller Players: The analysis has also indicated that the concept of business advising though very popular with the higher end players is virtually nonexistent in the lower end of the market. ICICI should take this opportunity to provide Business advising to the smaller companies at competitive rates and try to take the first mover advantage.
THREATS 1) Advent of MNC banks: Large numbers of MNC banks are mushrooming in the Indian market due to the friendly policies adopted by the government. This can increase the level of competition and prove a potential threat for the market share of ICICI bank. 2) Dissatisfied Customers: The analysis indicated that though most of the companies are satisfied with the products offered by ICICI bank but the poor customer support/ service is creating a lot of dissatisfaction among the
customers, this can prove to be a serious problem as far as the market reputation of the bank is concerned and cane be a major threat in future business acquisition.
3) Ever improving nationalized banks: With PSU banks like SBI going all out to compete with the private banks and government giving them a free hand to do so, it can prove to be serious threat for banks like ICICI.

ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth
ICICI Limited, India's leading financial services provider, not only give a financial service today announced the launch of a comprehensive socialdevelopment programs
ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth(ICICI Foundation) was

founded by the ICICI Group in early 2008 to give focus to its efforts to promote inclusive growth amongst low-income Indian households. icici believe their fundamental challenge is to create a just society one where everyone has equal opportunity to develop and grow. Towards this end, ICICI Foundation is committed to making Indias economic growth more inclusive, allowing every individual to participate in and benefit from the growth process. Icici hold a set of core beliefs and values that defines our pathway towards inclusive growth and guides our five strategic partnerships.
Page 94
Vision Icicivision is a world free of poverty in which every individual has the freedom and power to create and sustain a just society in which to live. Mission Icicimission is to create and support strong independent organisationswhich work towards empowering the poor to participate in and benefit from the Indian growth process.
Core Beliefs
ICICI Foundations pathway towards inclusive growth and our five strategic partnerships are guided by several core beliefs: Core belief:Good health and basic education are fundamental prerequisites to achieving inclusive growth. Core belief:While healthy and educated individuals have the capacity to transform their lives, their ability to do so depends on the quality of their access to transformative tools such as finance. Access to comprehensive financial services is therefore an essential part of the development process. Financial services enable individuals and enterprises to allocate their resources most productively by allowing them to better manage risk (e.g. buy insurance) and take advantage of future opportunities (e.g. saving today to build capital for tomorrow). Core belief:For the Indian growth process to be truly inclusive, health, education and access to complete financial markets are necessary but not sufficient.
Ensuring that every individual has the freedom and the power to create and sustain a just society and thereby benefit from the Indian growth process requires additional efforts on the part of civil society and policymakers. Grassroots organizations and regulatory infrastructure, for example, must be strengthened to ensure that the market does not exploit marginalized sectors of the population or the environment. ICICI Foundation supports five strategic partners working in the areas ofprimary health, elementary education, access to finance, civil society strengthening&environmental sustainability.

Page 109
From the survey it is clear that 84 % of the customers are having the awareness about the value added services & the banker succeed fulfill the needs of customers.

Services as promised by the agents are not delivered either on time or not at all provided. In order to get better pay, the agents of ICICI Bank usually give false promises to their customers regarding the quality of service or new schemes so as to lure them. In such cases the final loser is not just the customers but the ICICI Group as whole as it effects all their businesses.
Recommendations / suggestion:
i. A Major revamp of its Customer care.
A complete over hauling of its customer care department is required so as to reduce complaints of customer in turn which may affect its working. ii. Introduction of Smart Cards for New as well as Old Credit Card Holders. ICICI Bank should come up with the concept of smart cards were the data regarding all the accounts & credit cards details of a individual customer is placed in a single cards hence reducing the burden of carrying all credit cards & other necessary items required for banking transaction. iii. Concentrate on Building Brand Image. ICICI Bank is very well known institution for investing purposes and as well as for its practices involving anti social elements; therein affecting its name and Brand value of its self and also ICICI group as a whole. iv. Completely separation of other alike Businesses like Insurance, Mutual Funds etc. It is usually seen the ICICI Bank branches are over crowded with ICICI staff though they dont belong to that branch or does not even belong to the ICICI Bank, they usually are the agents of its other businesses like Insurance, Mutual funds etc this annoys the customer and creates a bad impression. v. Major re-look at working of their Agents. The easiest way to reach to customers is through agents; and the agents of ICICI Bank are highly skilled in this field but they do it at the cost of customers innocence. There are many incidences where in the information provided by the agents is false. Its time for ICICI Bank to look into the matter and rework on its agents policies. vi. Reduction of Penalty Fees & Special Service Fees. The penalties & special service imposed by ICICI Bank is very high as compared to public sector banks; this sometimes adds a negative perspective to ICICI Bank.
CONCLUSION:ICICI bank is a multinational company. The company has high goals and objectives. The company made sincere efforts to achieve its goals and objectives over the years. ICICI bank has variety of product. The company can grow at a higher pace and contribute to the economy growth of the company. The company has a sound financial position.
