Mint Mumbai
|October 05, 2023
Global private equity major KKR & Co has hired a BlackRock veteran to head its second India office, as it expands its operations in the South Asian nation and looks to service its clients across the world.
KKR expects to hire about 150 new employees initially for the new office in Gurugram, near the national capital Delhi, by early 2024, the PE firm said in a statement.
These employees will be in finance, operations, human capital and technology functions, it said. The Gurugram office comes more than a decade after KKR opened its first India office, in Mumbai, in 2009. In total, KKR has offices in 22 other cities across four continents, including seven more in Asia Pacific: Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo.
