HYDERABAD, India, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  KFin Technologies Ltd. (KFintech) (BSE: 543720); (NSE: KFINTECH) a leader in technology and fund administration solutions for asset management – has joined BlackRock's Aladdin Provider network to enhance its operating model with asset managers, making it more standardised and efficient.
