Elephanta Mercantile Bank
Elephanta Mercantile Bank is the rupee correspondent for the group's Indian pharmaceutical and animal-health positions, which are held through IGUAKO Indian Ocean Investments Ltd on the Mauritius platform. The relationship began in 2023 and is managed jointly from Port Louis and Singapore. Elephanta services the two Indian portfolio companies, handles rupee collections and supplier payments, and registers each inbound investment with the local authorities.
The relationship
Indian generic manufacturers and veterinary biologics producers are a core part of the rare-markets origination book. Elephanta gives those companies local banking under a group-wide reporting standard, and gives the group a route to repatriate dividends within the timetable the exchange rules allow. The bank reports every cross-border flow for the Compliance & Conduct Committee's quarterly return.
