Financial News is excited to announce the launch of its inaugural South Asian Power Brokers list — the first global celebration of senior South Asian trailblazers in finance and related sectors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made significant contributions to the sector.
This prestigious list will be featured on the front page of FN to coincide with Diwali — the festival of lights — on 20 October. It will highlight the journeys of senior executives, how they rose through the ranks in the face of challenges, while also paving the way for the next generation of leaders.

The London Stock Exchange is hosting a special Market Close ceremony and festive Diwali reception to mark the launch of FN’s South Asian Power Brokers list — a first-of-
its-kind event and publication spotlighting the trailblazers of South Asian heritage driving change and creating impact on the global stage.
Building on FN’s 30-year legacy of championing diversity, equity and inclusion in the finance sector, this unranked list, curated by our editorial team, will spotlight senior leaders from various fields, including banking, law firms, asset management, Big Four accounting firms, hedge funds, regulatory bodies and fintech firms, among others.
This initiative marks the first recognition of the South Asian community in finance and industry in this form. Given that 1 in 10 Fortune 500 CEOs are of South Asian heritage, and many South Asians have similarly ascended through the ranks in the UK and Europe, this is a well-deserved spotlight on their contributions to global finance.
