At a time when the global economy is grappling with geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological change and evolving capital flows, two of the world’s most influential business leaders-Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, and Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock-will come together for an exclusive conversation on CNBC TV18 today.
The discussion, hosted by Shereen Bhan, Managing Editor of CNBC TV18, is set to air from 3:00 pm onwards and will explore how the future of investing is being shaped in India amid a shifting global order. The interaction is expected to offer forward-looking insights into capital allocation, technology-led growth and long-term value creation.
With Reliance Industries playing a central role in India’s energy transition, digital infrastructure and consumer-driven growth, and BlackRock managing over $14 trillion in assets globally, the dialogue brings together two leaders operating at the intersection of global capital and emerging market opportunity. Larry Fink’s appearance coincides with his third visit to India, highlighting the country’s growing strategic importance for BlackRock. He previously visited India twice in 2023, meeting both Mukesh Ambani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India remains a key pillar of BlackRock’s long-term strategy, anchored by its 50:50 joint venture with Jio Financial Services, JioBlackRock, announced in July 2023. The partnership aims to build a digital-first asset management platform, with both partners committing up to $150 million each.
The conversation also comes on the back of BlackRock’s strong global performance, with record assets under management of $14.04 trillion in 2025. As global economic dynamics continue to evolve, the CNBC TV18 interaction promises valuable perspectives for investors, business leaders and policymakers on how capital, technology and long-term vision can drive sustainable growth.
