BlackRock Unveils Major India Hiring Spree: 1,200 New Roles to Fuel AI and Tech Expansion

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is ramping up its India operations with plans to hire 1,200 professionals for its Mumbai and Gurugram innovation hubs (iHubs). The expansion will boost its workforce in these cities to 3,500, focusing on recruiting engineers and data experts to advance AI-driven financial solutions. The move aligns with its proposed acquisition of Preqin, which adds a Bengaluru-based global capabilities center with 1,500 employees. BlackRock has also leased ₹4 billion ($45.9M) worth of office space in Mumbai’s Goregaon to support growth. India’s GCC sector, projected to hit $110B by 2030, continues attracting global giants like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
