Long before it became a #bank, HDFC was one of India’s earliest startups started
as a post-retirement venture.
At an age of 66, when most people think of retirement, Shri H T Parekh was
determined to set Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) in
1977.
Shri H T Parekh set up HDFC without any financial assistance from the Government
of India, which was a milestone in Indian #financial history.
Shri H T Parekh was the Chairman of ICICI Ltd. between 1972 - 1978.
He was instrumental in helping the first generation of #entrepreneurs of India
live their dreams and in turn, was able to bolster India’s economic growth.
