Aditya Birla Sun Life Launches Two Retail Funds From GIFT City
Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC has set up an IFSC subsidiary in GIFT City, Gujarat, introducing two new retail funds of funds.
Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd. has established a wholly owned subsidiary, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC International (IFSC) Limited, at the International Financial Services Centre in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, commonly known as GIFT City, the company announced in October 2026.
