The announcement comes days after Jio Financial Services was separated from Reliance Industries; the company, which has yet to establish a presence in India’s rapidly expanding financial services market, has been valued by the markets at close to $20 billion.

“The partnership will leverage BlackRock’s deep expertise in investment and risk management along with the technology capability and deep market expertise of JFS to drive digital delivery of products,” said Hitesh Sethia, CEO of JFS in the statement.

India’s Asset Management Industry

The asset management sector in India has grown quickly in recent years, with assets under administration totaling $440 billion, or 44.3 trillion Indian rupees. Investors in India would have “tech-enabled access to affordable, innovative investment solutions” thanks to the “digital-first” service, according to the statement.

BlackRock is making its second attempt with this new endeavor to break into the rapidly growing asset management market in India. After operating in India for ten years, the American investment management company left in 2018 by selling its 40% share to partner DSP Group. In the statement, India has an “enormously important opportunity,” according to Rachel Lord, head of Asia-Pacific at BlackRock.
