About BlackRock India Business
BlackRock's India Business in Mumbai is a distinctive financial technology GCC that straddles the boundary between investment management and technology, housing both investment professionals who manage Indian equity portfolios and engineers who build the Aladdin platform — BlackRock's proprietary investment management operating system that is used not just by BlackRock but by hundreds of other institutional investors including pension funds, insurers, and sovereign wealth funds managing a combined $20+ trillion of assets globally.
The Aladdin platform engineering work at BlackRock India is strategically significant and technically demanding. Aladdin is a comprehensive risk analytics and portfolio management platform that processes vast quantities of financial market data — pricing millions of securities, running portfolio risk models, calculating regulatory capital requirements, and generating the analytics that investment managers use to make portfolio decisions. India engineers contribute to Aladdin's expanding AI capabilities, including machine learning models for portfolio construction optimisation, natural language processing for earnings call analysis, and climate risk analytics that quantify the exposure of investment portfolios to physical and transition climate risks.
BlackRock India targets 3,500 employees by 2027, with growth in Aladdin AI, climate risk analytics, and quantitative engineering. The Nariman Point location in Mumbai's premier financial district provides an appropriately prestigious setting for a centre serving the world's largest asset manager, and BlackRock's brand prestige and intellectual culture in finance and technology make it one of Mumbai's most aspirational financial technology employers.
