Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) has announced a strategic collaboration with FPSB India, the Indian subsidiary of the Financial Planning Standards Board Ltd. (FPSB), to launch an Executive Programme in Financial Planning and Investment Advisory Services. This initiative aims to strengthen financial planning education in India and cater to mid-to-senior-level finance professionals.
The year-long programme is designed to provide in-depth knowledge on investment management, retirement and tax planning, estate and portfolio risk management, insurance, and alternative investments. Participants will also gain insights into regulatory frameworks, ethical standards, and behavioural finance, alongside leadership, negotiation, and communication skills.
Admissions for the course commenced in March and will conclude in August, with the first batch set to begin in September 2025. The blended learning model includes 84 weekend online sessions and 10 days of immersive on-campus learning at IIMA. Participants will engage in real-world case studies, industry interactions, and expert-led discussions, ultimately earning IIMA alumni status upon completion.
Meanwhile, in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025, IIM Ahmedabad secured the 27th position in Business and Management Studies.
