History

Dinesh Thakkar started his business in 1987 with a capital of Five Lakhs Indian Rupees and lost half of the money within eight months. In 1989, he started off again as a sub-broker.[17] Later, Angel Broking was incorporated as a wealth management, retail and corporate broking firm in December, 1997.[18] In November 1998, Angel Capital and Debt Market Ltd. gained membership of National Stock Exchange as a legal entity.[19] The company opened its commodity broking Division in April, 2004.[20] In November 2007, Birla Sun Life Insurance joined hands with Angel Broking for distribution of its insurance products.[21] In 2007, the World Bank's arm International Finance Corporation bought an 18% stake in Angel Broking.[22] In January 2013, a probe found the company and two other entities involved in fraudulent and unfair trade practices in transactions of shares of Sun Infoways during Feb-May 2001. As a result, SEBI restrained from taking new clients for a period of two weeks.[23] Angel filed an appeal against the SEBI order which was dismissed by the Securities appellate tribunal.[23][24] Recently Angel Broking has filed for an IPO with SEBI for an amount of Rs 600 crore.[25] This offer includes issuance of new shares worth Rs 300 crore and stake sale by promoters and IFC selling Rs 120 crore worth of stake.
