How To Build A Career In Fintech, BFSI, And More Ft. GIM

One of the most preferred careers for students post MBA happens to be working in the finance domain. Whether it be banking, insurance, asset management, trading or more, a large chunk of MBA graduates find themselves at home in the world of finance. But for the longest time, organisations have been facing a problem. Despite recruiting students from top schools, there is a knowledge gap. Basically, while an MBA degree serves to augment a student’s knowledge, there is still a gap in their understanding of the finer points and nuances of each sub domain in the world of finance. To bridge this learning gap and to help focussed students understand finance and its relation to industry better, Goa Institute of Management started the unique PGDM in BIFS or Banking Insurance and Financial Services course. We spoke to Dr. Abhishek Ranga, FCMA, CPA, MBA, PhD (Finance), Associate Professor and Program Chair at GIM to understand the finer points. If you’re a finance enthusiast, looking for a highly specialised study path to help you augment your career and give you clear direction, you must read and find out more!
