If you work in finance or technology, this is your signal to upskill rapidly. Focus on mastering regulatory compliance and advanced Excel or Python for data handling. Networking with local JPMorgan teams and attending industry events in Mumbai or Bengaluru will position you advantageously. Update your CV to highlight quantifiable achievements in financial analysis or project delivery. Proactively seek roles involving cross-border collaboration, as the hub will likely serve global clients.
