Fidelity International Strengthens Leadership in India with Key Appointments

Fidelity International, a global leader in investment and retirement savings, has announced key leadership changes in India to bolster its growing capabilities in the country. Rohit Jetly, previously overseeing the India site, will now take on an expanded international role, leading the Technology and Operations for the company’s Global Platform Solutions (GPS) business. Upasna Nischal, who was heading Human Resources, will now take on the role of India Site Head, ensuring the company continues to strengthen its operations and leadership in India.

Over the years, Rohit Jetly played a pivotal role in transforming Fidelity’s India site into a strategic nerve center. Under his leadership, Fidelity’s presence expanded to Gurugram, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, with an increase in capabilities and leadership talent. His governance model for the Global Capability Center (GCC) continues to drive strategic priorities and foster team collaboration. In his new role, Rohit will oversee the integration of Technology and Operations functions within the GPS business, which combines Fidelity’s Personal Investing, Workplace Investing, and Advisor businesses globally.

Upasna Nischal brings more than two decades of experience in Human Resource Management and will now lead the India site with an elevated focus on strategic initiatives. Having previously led Global Learning and Development, Upasna played a critical role in developing Fidelity’s India strategy, including talent management, diversity, and aligning leadership capabilities with global business needs. In her new role, she will work closely with Rohit to harness India’s talent pool to drive future growth and innovation across Fidelity’s global operations.

Sally Nelson, Chief People Officer at Fidelity International, praised both Rohit and Upasna for their leadership and contributions. “These appointments demonstrate the trust we place in their abilities to drive Fidelity’s growth in India and globally,” Nelson said. India is seen as a key market for Fidelity’s growth strategy, with its rapidly expanding workforce of over 4,500 people contributing to various business areas, from data analytics to process optimization.

Rohit Jetly expressed his excitement about the expanded responsibilities, stating that it is an honor to lead GPS and drive platform strategy on a global scale. “I am excited to take on this new challenge and confident that Upasna will continue building on our success in India,” said Rohit. He emphasized that India’s growing talent pool would continue to play a key role in Fidelity’s future innovations and global success.

Upasna Nischal, in her new role as India Site Head, reiterated India’s strategic importance to Fidelity International. “I am excited to lead Fidelity India as we continue strengthening both the business and talent initiatives here,” she said. Her leadership will be focused on enhancing India’s contributions to Fidelity’s global goals, ensuring the company’s strategic priorities are met while nurturing the talented workforce.

With over 20 years of operations in India, Fidelity International continues to build its leadership presence in the country. The recent opening of a new office in Bengaluru further solidifies the company’s strategic focus on leveraging India’s skilled talent pool to drive future business growth.
