The program equips learners with future-ready skills across finance, AI, technology and product innovation.
Designed around the needs of today’s financial services industry, the program combines academic learning with live product building, executive leadership education and practitioner mentorship. Learners don’t just study concepts; they apply them through real industry projects.

Learners work on four live fintech product tracks spanning Neo Banking for Retail & MSMEs, WealthTech, Financial Infrastructure (Tech SaaS) and Trade & Supply Chain Finance. ISFB is also engaging with fintech giants such as Paytm, PhonePe, Protean, IBDIC and a few others to explore future collaborations that will further strengthen experiential learning opportunities.
Speaking on the launch, Joy Parekh, CEO of the Imarticus School of Finance & Business, says, “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

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.
