A 1948 franchise that has grown with India’s capital markets — and stayed steady through every market cycle.
Our Story
LKP was founded in 1948, in the early years of independent India, when the country’s capital markets were still taking shape. From those origins we have grown into one of India’s most established financial houses and its oldest dedicated fixed income intermediary — a firm defined less by any single product than by a way of working: disciplined, relationship-led and built for the long term. Our enduring promise, Trust · Invest · Grow is not a slogan but the sequence in which we believe lasting wealth is built.
The LKP Journey
Each milestone widened our clients’ access to the markets that matter:
