IIM Calcutta

Executive Programme in Applied Finance

In today’s constantly evolving and highly competitive business environment, the finance function in an organisation has taken the centre stage. The treasury division of a business entity can now effectively contribute to its bottom line. The increasing diversity coupled with associated risks in finance functions have led to enhanced demand for qualified and actiondriven finance professionals. It is essential to have deep and thorough knowledge of finance and its linkage with other functions as applied to corporate and financial institutions.

Programme Overview The Executive Programme in Applied Finance from IIM Calcutta aims to provide cutting edge knowledge in the frontiers of finance using a contemporary pedagogical approach to develop sharp financial acumen required of a successful professional in the corporate sector, banks, and financial institutions. The programme would be equally relevant for professionals working (or planning to work) as broking/security analysts, consultants, and chartered/cost accountants. The one-year programme will consist of four core courses and four special courses and is intended to improve participants’ technical and managerial capabilities for applying finance in business. An investment in learning assures excellent returns (RoI) tangible as well as intangible, and the EPAF from IIM Calcutta is no exception.

Alumni Speak AYANNICK SILL ASSOCIATE BANKER, STATE BANK OF INDIA The programme curriculum and discussions during the class were very helpful in my professional life. I really liked the interaction with the instructors and peers which helped in clarifying any doubts I had during the course. The course gave me an overall view of finance and improved my decision making ability. I could apply the knowledge gained in EPAF to my day to day work.

VARSHA ADHIKARI GM-FINANCE & LEGAL, STOVEC INDUSTRIES LIMITED (SPG PRINTS, NETHERLANDS) My major apprehension while joining EPAF was whether this virtual classroom would be able to match face-to-face teaching. But actually, numerous modes of interaction with the instructors (mail, raise hand, poll, two-way audio-video, ..) makes the platform more interactive than a regular face-to-face class!
