BlackRock’s Fink Urges Indians to Invest in ‘Era of India’

BlackRock Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink said it’s vital for Indians to invest alongside the country’s economic growth, a key reason the asset manager is expanding its presence in one of Asia’s fastest-growing wealth markets.

“If you believe in the era of India, we need to compel hundreds of millions of Indians to invest alongside that growth,” Fink said during a forum in Mumbai on Wednesday, where he was joined by Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Ltd.
