MUMBAI, Oct 17 Asia Pulse - Citigroup CEO Charles Prince wants the US banking major to grab a larger slice of India's micro finance sector in order to generate more business for its local banking operations.

The group will continue to look at organic growth in India and appoint more people there, Prince said.

"We have long presence in India having more than 100 years of operations here. Our operations have been nice so far. However, we can do a lot more," he said, while dedicating Citigroup Centre for Financial Literacy to the Indian School of Microfinance for Women here.
