Are there any Indians on Wall Street
This doesn't really affect my decision of going into IB but I'm just curious if there are any Indians/Indian Americans in IB. Like is there some representation

Many.
In fact, so many, that male applicants of Indian descent usually don't qualify as a diverse placement any longer. They may self-identify as a minority during the application process though.
In pretty much any NYC or London office, staff of Indian descent are often over-represented compared to the demographic they are in (maybe not in the UK, because that would be a little bit more difficult, but still a very high percentage)
UK is the same. Although they’re not seen as overrepresented minorities, just “ethnic minorities”.
Pretty sure Indians are the highest earning ethnicity in multiples western countries so you’d find them in IB regularly.
No, they all self-identify as black. Or at least the Indians in IU Kelley do.
Based Indians
Which kind

There would be a lot more if they didn't discriminate against us for being the wrong type of diverse.
No, none of the generally highly educated, highly mobile 1bn+ population of India ever makes it to Wall Street.
Where are you a VP at? Bumfuck Capital in Montana? Only then would your objectively incorrect statement be plausible
whoooooooshhh

How tf did this guy make VP? Dumbest take I've ever heard. They probably have the second or third highest representation on Wall Street outside of White / Chinese people.
lol you moron, I am of Indian descent working on Wall Street and was clearly being facetious but you should take your solitary IQ point and rub it with that other guy's to start a fire.
Lowkey there might be more Indians than Chinese too

A lot, IB is probably at least 10% brown dudes
Between the Barclays CEO and heads of M&A at JPM and EVR I think Indians on the Street are doing alright
At JPM the following are Indian in the most senior positions
Global Co-Head of IB
Global Head of M&A
Global Head of ECM
Global Head of Tech IB
^ JPM has a lot of Indians across all groups
I knew very few indians prior to banking. the names "shah", "patel", "gaurav", and "kumar" now dominate my iphone contacts smh.
I can add a few “Gupta” to your Rolodex to round it out
I got too many Chandra's and not enough Guptas. Wanna trade?
I think Anshu Jain was the CEO of Deutsche
Had an absolute savage Indian MD back in the day, love that guy.
Savage as in?
Wall Street, much like the Diamond District, is like 50% Jewish and 50% Indian
jokes but yeah Indians have plenty of representation
Are we talking Native American Indians or actual Indians from India? The latter is all over finance because of pay and the massive population
OP asked for Indian Americans, which would be the ethnic minority which stems from the Asian subcontinent.
I think the indigenous group from the Americas would be American Indians.
Amerindians, pleb
