The increasing diversity coupled with associated risks in finance functions have led to enhanced demand for qualified and action-driven finance professionals.

The present Programme aims to provide cutting edge knowledge in the frontiers of finance using latest pedagogy to develop brilliant finance minds. The Programme is designed to provide training in the techniques and nuances in finance expected of a successful professional in the corporate sector, banks, and financial institutions.
