The program aims to equip learners with future-ready skills across finance, artificial intelligence, technology and product innovation, while combining academic learning with live product building, executive leadership education and practitioner-led mentorship.

Live Product-Building Across Four Fintech Tracks
Designed around the changing needs of today's financial services industry, the program moves beyond conventional classroom-based learning by integrating academic concepts with live product development and industry projects.
As part of the program, learners will work on four live fintech product tracks covering Neo Banking for Retail & MSMEs, WealthTech, Financial Infrastructure (Tech SaaS), and Trade & Supply Chain Finance. This product-building approach allows participants to apply their learning to real-world financial and technology challenges.
ISFB is also engaging with fintech companies including Paytm, PhonePe, Protean and IBDIC, among others, to explore future collaborations that could further strengthen experiential learning opportunities for participants.
Finance Professionals to Gain AI and Product Skills
Speaking on the launch, Joy Parekh, CEO of the Imarticus School of Finance & Business, said, "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."
The program focuses on developing a combination of financial expertise, technology understanding, AI capabilities and product thinking. This is aimed at helping working professionals adapt to the increasing integration of technology and artificial intelligence across the financial services industry.
Practitioner-Led Mentorship and Industry Exposure
A key feature of the program is its extensive coaching ecosystem, through which experienced industry practitioners will guide participants across their product journeys.

Together, these practitioners bring experience across global banking, fintech, venture capital, product development, consulting, digital transformation, AI and capital markets. Their involvement is intended to give participants first-hand exposure to industry perspectives, practical challenges and real-world problem-solving.
Executive Alumni Status and IIM Visakhapatnam Certification
Complementing the industry-led learning experience, participants will receive Executive Alumni Status and an Executive Certification from IIM Visakhapatnam.
The program also includes live online sessions and an on-campus leadership immersion. These components are designed to help learners strengthen leadership capabilities alongside their technical, financial and product skills.
The combination of executive education, practitioner mentorship and applied learning is intended to help working professionals build a broader understanding of the changing financial services ecosystem.
