Fidelity International, a global investment and retirement savings firm, has revealed two important leadership appointments in India to bolster its operations and strategic presence in the region. Rohit Jetly will now take on an expanded role, overseeing technology and operations for the Global Platform Solutions (GPS) business. Meanwhile, Upasna Nischal, who is currently the Head of HR, will step into the enhanced position of India Site Head. These strategic decisions underscore Fidelity International's commitment to strengthening its leadership and capabilities in India, solidifying the country's role as a key hub for global talent.

Under Rohit’s leadership, Fidelity International’s India site has evolved into a strategic nerve center, with a footprint across Gurugram, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Over the past few years, the company expanded its capabilities and leadership talent in India, and it was recognized as a top Global Capability Center (GCC) in the industry. Rohit also introduced a unique GCC governance model, which has played a key role in driving strategic priorities and unifying teams across India. In his new global role, Rohit will oversee the integration of technology and operations for GPS, a business unit that combines Personal Investing, Workplace Investing, and Advisor services at Fidelity International.

Commenting on his expanded role, Rohit Jetly said, “It is an honour to take on expanded responsibilities in GPS and drive our platform strategy and technology and operational innovation on a global scale, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value for our clients worldwide. The last few years, leading our India capability centre, as well as being an advocate forthe talent, skills, and capabilities that India can bring to the world, have been truly fulfilling for me. With my expanded global responsibilities, I hand over the baton to Upasna. We have exceptional talent present in our India site, including many global and local leaders. I am confident that Upasna will harness this talent and leadership to drive greater value from India”.

Upasna Nischal brings over two decades of experience in strategic human resource management, with a five-year tenure at Fidelity International. Her deep expertise spans Talent Management, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Change Management, and Organization Effectiveness. Before becoming India Site Head, Upasna led the company’s Global Learning and Development function. In her new role, she will continue to drive strategic initiatives from India, aligning with Fidelity International’s global objectives and ensuring the seamless execution of business and talent strategies.

Upasna Nischal shared, “India’s strategic importance for Fidelity International continues to grow, and I am excited to lead our efforts to strengthen both the business and talent initiatives here. We have a unique opportunity to shape the future and deepen India’s contributions to support Fidelity International’s strategic goals. I look forward to building on the strong foundation we’ve established and focusing on driving greater value, nurturing our talent, and aligning our initiatives with our broader vision for growth and client impact”.

With over 20 years of operations in India and a workforce exceeding 4,500 employees, Fidelity International continues to tap into India's expanding pool of skilled talent. The company further reinforced its strategic footprint in India by opening a new office in Bengaluru last year, boosting its capacity to meet the evolving needs of the business and clients as it pursues future growth.
