Our story is one of ground-breaking innovation. Bringing together our core capabilities; information, expertise and partnership, we have come a long way since 1980. Experian traces our origins to CCN, an information services business established in 1980 by our former parent company, GUS. Between 1980 and 1996, CCN expanded into adjacent business lines in the UK. In 1996, GUS significantly increased its presence in the US market with the acquisition of the former TRW credit, decision analytics, direct marketing and real estate information businesses. Experian was formed in 1996 when GUS plc merged TRW Information Systems & Services and CCN Group. Additional acquisitions and mergers have been made since 1996 to incorporate competencies such as database management, data hygiene, e-mail marketing and deployment, fraud services, analytic capabilities, and consumer interactive services. In 2006, Experian demerged from GUS and became a publicly traded company on the London stock exchange to increase shareholder value and our growth potential. In the same year, Experian expanded its global presence by establishing a 100% subsidiary in India – Experian Services India Pvt. Ltd. Experian Services India applied to the Reserve Bank of India for licence to operate as a Credit Information Company in India in 2007. In 2009, Experian formed a joint venture in India with Axis Bank, Punjab National Bank, Union Bank of India, Indian Bank, Federal Bank, Sundaram Finance and Magma Fincorp to form Experian Credit Information Company of India Private Limited and applied for final license to the RBI. On 12 August 2010, Experian Credit Information company of India Private Ltd became the first CICRA licensed Credit Information Company in India to start operations.
