Bloomberg, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1981 and employs approximately 2,400 individuals. It reported $3.0M in revenue as of 2023 and operates as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company's main product is broadcast television and radio, complementing its broader scope as a provider of financial, software, data, and media services.
At Bloomberg's Technology and Innovation Forum in Singapore on July 10, discussions on quant research highlighted data readiness as the new bottleneck, superseding concerns about larger models or increased compute, partly due to how public cloud services have altered storage and processing economics. Separately, Vlad Rashkovich, Global Head of Quantitative Trading Research and Analytics at Bloomberg, noted the ongoing challenge of developing high-quality pre-trade Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) analytics and ensuring their consistent, practical application across diverse trading activities. Earlier the same day, Bloomberg facilitated its first electronic Indian Government Bonds (IGBs) trade, a key step in the internationalization of India’s rapidly opening Government Bond markets, allowing Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to efficiently access liquidity provided by international and domestic banks. Previously on July 9, Bloomberg emphasized workflow integration as a priority for its sustainability data business, seeking to unify insights from its vast data, research, and news within an increasingly fragmented sustainability landscape. This followed Bloomberg's announcement earlier on July 9 that it rolled out the electronic platform for Indian government bond trading on its Terminal, enabling FPIs to execute transactions with domestic and international banks through a single electronic platform.
