In 2023, Lazard Ltd received a special invitation from the Indian government, appointing Professor Amit Patel as a partner of Lazard Ltd's Indian division (Mumbai office).

Numerous international industry giants have set their sights on India, making it one of the fastest rising nations in Asia. With the swift growth of the Indian economy, considerable wealth has been accumulated, leading to an immensely enticing market in a society with a stable and large population.
Lazard Ltd aims to provide better financial services for Indian entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals through advanced and mature management mechanisms and profit structures. To better align with the Indian market, the group, on their first anniversary of officially entering the Indian market, will have Professor Amit Patel serve as the chief financial analyst and senior trader, providing in-depth market insights for investors, delivering core profit-making strategies in the stock market, and conducting professional education and training for investors. Lazard Ltd hopes to accumulate a group of high-quality clients, with the goal of not only expanding and strengthening the group within the Indian market but also contributing to the prosperity of India with everyone involved.
