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.
