“The skills needed to succeed in finance are changing rapidly. Organisations today are looking for professionals who can combine financial expertise with AI, technology and product thinking. Our goal was to create a program that reflects how the industry is evolving and prepares learners with the capabilities employers are looking for.”
A distinctive aspect of the program is its extensive coaching ecosystem, where experienced industry practitioners guide every product journey. Participants will learn directly from leaders including Krishnan Ranganathan of Nomura, Debdoot Banerjee of Accion, Vikram Biyani of Enfusion, Maulik Gawarepatil, Alok Ranjan, Chinmay Marulkar, Parth Upadhyay, Harish Thakkar, Taranjit Jaswal, Amit Thadhani, and Dr. Prashant Chavan, and other leaders in the Finance arena. Together, they bring decades of experience across global banking, fintech, venture capital, product development, consulting, digital transformation, AI, and capital markets, giving participants first-hand exposure to industry perspectives and real-world problem-solving.
Complementing this industry-led learning experience, participants also receive Executive Alumni Status and an Executive Certification from IIM Visakhapatnam. The program includes live online sessions and an on-campus leadership immersion, helping learners strengthen their leadership capabilities alongside technical and product skills.
Based in Powai, Mumbai, one of India’s leading financial and technology hubs, the program reflects ISFB’s belief that the future of finance education lies beyond traditional classrooms.
