Japan’s Mizuho Securities has received approval from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to acquire a stake in Avendus Capital, marking a significant cross-border transaction in India’s financial services sector. The regulatory clearance is an important milestone for Mizuho’s strategic expansion plans in the Indian investment banking market. Mizuho Securities is part of the Japan-based Mizuho Financial Group, one of the world’s leading banking and financial institutions. The company operates globally across investment banking, capital markets, research, and retail financial services. In India, it already has a presence through Mizuho Securities India, a SEBI-registered merchant banker. Avendus Capital is one of India’s leading financial advisory and investment banking firms, with operations in India, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The company is well known for mergers and acquisitions advisory, private equity syndication, and equity capital market services across sectors such as technology, healthcare, infrastructure, and financial institutions. The acquisition signals growing international confidence in India’s dealmaking ecosystem and highlights the increasing attractiveness of Indian financial institutions to global investors. For Mizuho, partnering with Avendus offers stronger access to India’s high-growth corporate advisory and capital markets landscape. The deal also reflects a broader trend of global financial groups seeking deeper exposure to India as domestic capital markets expand, startup funding matures, and cross-border M&A activity rises.
