HDFC Bank Limited (also known as HDFC) is an Indian banking and financial services company headquartered in Mumbai. It is India's largest private sector bank by assets and the world's sixth-largest bank by market capitalization as of August 2023, following its takeover of parent company HDFC.

With a market capitalization of $140 billion (as of January 2024), HDFC Bank is the third-largest company on Indian stock exchanges. It is also the sixteenth largest employer in India with nearly 1.73 lakh employees.
