The INDUS INSTITUTE PhD PROGRAMS AT A GLANCE

Rationale The financial industry is the lifeblood of any economy and is at the forefront of factors dramatically reshaping the world. It is a fast-paced and intellectually stimulating industry that attracts some of the best and most ambitious minds. To operate at the cutting edge of this industry and stretch the boundaries of knowledge and practices in such a competitive environment demands professionals who are able to combine extensive field expertise, outstanding analytical & research skills with critical thinking. While undergraduate degrees, professional experience and qualifications like the MBA\ CFA\ CA \ CS \ ICWA develop these set of competencies to a certain extent professionals need to equip themselves further to emerge as thought leaders who drive innovation and global best practices. The Doctorate programme offered by The Indus Institute (iiibsr) aims to do precisely this.
