  "summary": "Goldman Sachs has announced its largest class of new partners since 2010, elevating 109 executives to the position. According to Business Insider, this class is 15% larger than the 95 executives promoted in 2024 and includes a record number of engineers. The firm will have more than 500 partners in total, representing approximately 1% of the company, once the appointments take effect on January 1.\n\nIn India, the investment bank has named Gowri Sekar as its first female partner, alongside Ashoke Sharma, according to Business Standard IN.\n\nHandelsblatt reports that the bank has opted not to release demographic data for this round, a departure from previous years, citing a changing legal environment. While the bank's manager stated that workforce diversity remains crucial to business success, Handelsblatt notes that the firm previously removed a diversity section from its annual report and that many US companies have scaled back diversity, equity, and inclusion programs following the re-election of Donald Trump.",
