MUMBAI: Standard Chartered Bank’s India unit on Thursday said it has started operations at the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC - special economic zone) in Gujarat's Gift City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City). The global bank commenced operations from 1 June.

“Standard Chartered is the first foreign bank to commence operations in IFSC," the bank said in a statement.
