More than 400 of our colleagues from our Bengaluru, Gurugram, Hyderabad, and New York City offices participated in a 24-hour coding marathon as part of the 13th hackathon hosted by D. E. Shaw India Private Limited. 180+ teams worked on ideas in data technologies, cloud computing, generative AI, and more. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to the participants! #deshawgroup #deshawindia
About us
The D. E. Shaw group is trusted by investors across the world to manage their assets by seeking the optimal balance of risk and reward. While we’re known as a pioneer in quantitative investing, we also have considerable expertise in areas that involve fundamental analysis or portfolio manager discretion. We use a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools to uncover independent, hard-to-find sources of return across global public and private markets. Founded in 1988 over a small bookstore in downtown New York City, the D. E. Shaw group began with six employees and $28 million in capital and quickly became a pioneer in computational finance. In the early days of exposed pipes and extension cords, tripping on a cable could take out our whole trading system. Today, the firm has more than 2,500 people around the globe and an institutional-grade (and trip-proof) infrastructure, but we still value creativity, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of discovery. If you’re an intellectually adventurous person who loves to collaborate on challenging and rewarding projects, we encourage you to apply.

Surveys of professional forecasters assign low probabilities to extreme inflation and growth outcomes for the United States in 2024. We believe these forecasts are too narrow. Historical economic data remind us that the distribution of inflation outcomes is wide and suggest that the potential for robust growth in 2024 should not be written off.
