The Department of Financial Studies has successfully organized its 35th Annual Convention this year which was held virtually for the first time. It was a 2-day event held from 27-28 November 2022. The department had the privilege of hosting eminent personalities from the corporate world, ministries & universities. With the theme of the event is “The Future of Fintech & Business Analytics”, we witnessed enlightening discussions on the emerging trends in Capital Markets, Banking, Payments, Business Analytics, Start-ups and Real Estate.

Alumni Meet

The Department of Financial Studies displayed its professional acumen by convening this year’s Alumni Meet on the digital platform with great zeal and assiduousness. The event saw an enthusiastic turnout of students, alumni (domestic and foreign), faculty members, and special guests and performers alike. The evening began with a warm-hearted welcome note given by Dr. Sanjay Sehgal, the head of the department, in which he greeted the audience before introducing his visionary idea of creating a first-of-a-kind incubation centre aiming to provide a platform both for students and businesses to collaborate and tackle real-world challenges in Fintech, Analytics, Up-skilling, Re-skilling and Proptech through technological innovation. Filling our hearts with fervour he gave way to an incredibly power-packed motivational session delivered by Mr. Vijay Batra. Following this our alumni were apprised about the current functioning, the achievements, and other plans for the future of our department. Then came the moment when the floor was made open for our alumni to share their journeys and experiences after passing out from the corridors of their beloved alma mater; this initiated light-hearted exchanges and moments of nostalgia among erstwhile friends & classmates. To end the affair on a gleeful note standup comedian Mr. Kumar Varun was asked to lighten up the mood even further. Alumni Meet 2023 would remain a hallmark of an exceptionally well-executed virtual event in all of our memories.
