Research overview

Morgan Stanley is a global investment bank and financial services firm operating across investment banking, capital markets, equities, fixed income, wealth management, and investment management worldwide.

India launch: 1993
Maturity: Multi-Function / Full-Stack GCC

The India centers span technology, finance and accounting, risk, operations, fund services, legal/compliance, HR, research and wealth-platform engineering across two large campuses with 16,000+ India staff, indicating deep multi-function integration rather than a single shared-service or R&D-only mandate.

Location rationale

Bengaluru was chosen because it is an established and vibrant finance and technology hub with large numbers of highly talented graduates, per COO Jim Rosenthal at the 2015 office opening.
