Blackstone Eyes $100 Billion Investment In India Amid Rising Opportunities: Stephen Schwarzman Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman pins his hope on India in exclusive interview to Moneycontrol. Stephen said that Blackstone has seen exceptional success in India, with returns around 40% annually, making it their top-performing market. The company is rapidly expanding its presence, becoming the largest foreign investor, owner of real estate, and private equity firm in India. Blackstone's strategy involves owning businesses to control growth, which has proven effective in India’s thriving economy. The company is heavily invested in sectors like healthcare, technology, and data centers, with plans to further capitalize on India’s emerging AI and energy transit industries. Despite recent stock market declines, Blackstone remains optimistic due to India’s political stability, growing workforce, and favorable regulatory environment. AI is expected to transform industries globally, including in India, leading to productivity growth and innovation in sectors like drug development and education. Blackstone believes that India has significant potential as an alternative to China in global supply chains, especially amid China’s challenges, and should leverage this opportunity.
