ISB Executive Education and Imarticus Learning Partner to Pivot Finance Experts for India’s Trillion Dollar Opportunities
New Delhi : India’s financial ecosystem has displayed remarkable resilience and signs of growth despite growing global geo-political challenges. Indian banks have shown stability and a strongly regulated rise of fintech firms and NBFCs is boosting financial inclusion for India’s expansive consumer market. This is furthered by the impetus towards building a robust digital public infrastructure, which has evolved to create a more accessible, efficient, and inclusive digital ecosystem to boost economic growth. However, challenges such as data security and privacy concerns, infrastructure gaps, and digital literacy still need to be addressed to fully realize the potential of India’s digital transformation.
As the global effect segues into the dynamic economic fabric of India, the leaders of tomorrow should brace for complex risk scenarios, including recession, inflation, geo-political unrest, and global economic imbalances. The task of establishing resilient organisations capable of addressing persistent macroeconomic turbulence and technological upheavals is imperative. This necessitates the combination of innovative thinking and exceptional leadership, if India wishes to fulfil its goal of joining the USD 5 trillion economy club.
The industry needs highly skilled professionals who can manage and navigate the financial and fintech business worlds, which are filled with phenomenal opportunities. With lifelong learning to create leaders ready for the future, being the core of ISB Executive Education’s value, it joined hands with Imarticus Learning, which shares the same objective, to impart industry-relevant knowledge and skills. The partnership aims to create future-ready leaders who stay ahead of tech disruption and fast adopt regulatory and policy frameworks to favourably shape India’s financial sector.
