‘This is the era for India’: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Hails New Delhi's Economic Rise

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink called India “the era for India,” highlighting its long-term growth potential and urging investors to participate in the country’s economic rise. Speaking at the JioBlackRock event in Mumbai with Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani, Fink described India’s growth as a multi-decade structural story, beyond short-term fluctuations. He acknowledged that US reciprocal tariffs could have short-term impacts but would not derail India’s trajectory. Fink praised the digitisation of the rupee and the expansion of digital payments as transformative steps under the Modi government. On AI, he emphasized rapid investment to harness disruptive opportunities, warning that nations failing to innovate risk falling behind, while India emerges as a global leader in technology and digital inclusion.
