ICICI Bank: Boring Business, Compelling Valuation

After more research, we have found that ICICI's loan practices are absolutely terrible [by US standards]. We found instances in which ICICI under-wrote multiple auto loans without getting the deed to the car that they were financing. They have already written down their $250 M in exposure to US sub-prime paper.


On a more positive note, ICICI does have an excellent Life Insurance business [growing at an over 40% clip].
