Asset management companies in India are broadly categorised into three types; bank-sponsored mutual funds, mutual fund institutions, and the private sector mutual funds. There are total 44 asset management companies in India as of today (February 2017). 35 of these AMCs are part of the private sector.

Franklin Templeton has been in the industry for over two decades now. The total AUM of Franklin Templeton stands over INR 74,576 crores as recorded on September 2016.
Over the years, many private sector AMCs penetrated the mutual funds market. HDFC Mutual Fund set up in 2000 is one of the most successful Mutual Fund Houses in India. As on June 2016, the assets under management of HDFC Mutual Fund stand over INR 2,13,322 crores.
