The bank raised Rs 720 crore during that round.
Its shareholding mix comprises 40 per cent retail shareholders and 60 per cent professional and institutional investors. Ratnakar is lead by Vishwavir Ahuja, former India CEO of Bank of America.

It mostly focuses on small and medium businesses in sectors like trading, agriculture and manufacturing. Ratnakar has a network of 1,750 employees, 117 branches and 158 ATMs.
In its half-yearly results declaration, Ratnakar Bank reported a total business of around Rs 10,100 crore, up from Rs 6,400 crore in the same period last year. The net profit improved to Rs 44 crore in the half-year ending September 2012, up from Rs 30 crore last year.
By FY2016, Ratnakar Bank plans to increase its advances to micro & small enterprises (MSME) from Rs 40 crore (in FY12) to Rs 450 crore. The bank’s growth strategy also involves increasing its women borrowers from around 10,350 in FY12 to 450,000 in FY16.
