development program of this kind covering all aspects of

finance.

This is a one month rigorous training program for 20 hours

The flexi hour program has 4 batches a day with timings from

11 AM to 1 PM, 2 PM to 4 PM, 4.30 PM to 6.30 PM last these

will be jointly issued with the NSDC.

The unique feature of the program is that there will be no text

books prescribed and this practical training does not form part

any text book learning. BRK and his team will teach the

participants the entire gambit of finance starting from analyzing

annual report of a company, funding eligibility source to raise

these products and ending at valuation methodology and

preparation of financial modeling and preparation of projected

financials to suit the product to be raised.

The institute also aids the students in getting placed with

Banks, Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs), Private

finance, Consulting and Equity research assignments.

In the investment institution, they will have a thorough

knowledge on equity research and investment decision making

process and exit strategies. They will also be able to play

advisory roles and become consultants in finance. Funds are

available in the market. The key is how to tap it, how to

tapped etc. These structures could have a legal, secretarial and

tax impact, he says.

academicians, entrepreneurs and professionals. He is invited by
