He then moved to the US at the age of 19, and in 1985 he received an MBA in finance from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and studied there with Thomas Schneeweis, an expert in alternative investments such as futures, options, and derivatives.

In 1988, he joined Merrill Lynch and then later on his mentor Edson Mitchell who moved to Deutsche Bank hired him in 1995.

When Mitchell passed away in December 2000, Jain succeeded him as head of Global Markets in early 2001. In September 2004, he was appointed co-head of the Corporate and Investment Bank, together with Michael Cohrs.

In July 2011, Jain was appointed co-CEO of Deutsche Bank, along with native German Jurgen Fitschen, effective June 1, 2012.
