FinX, India’s leading platform for BFSI learning has inaugurated its new campus in Kolkata. This aims to strengthen FinX’s efforts to expand access to industry-oriented financial education and BFSI skills for young individuals.
The inauguration was attended by several distinguished dignitaries from the corporate and academic sectors, including Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss Mutual Fund; Ratan Kumar Kesh, Executive Director, Bandhan Bank and Meghdut Roy Chowdhury, Executive Director & CIO, Techno India Group.
The Kolkata campus adds to FinX’s efforts to bring practical, industry-oriented learning in the BFSI sector easily available. FinX’s learning ecosystem moves above and beyond the traditional education system, making education, skilling and employability available at one place. The programmes include career-focused certifications, national competitions and institutional partnerships around wealth management, mutual funds and financial markets.
Speaking at the inauguration, Himanshu Vyapak, MD & CEO, FinX, said, “The launch of our Kolkata campus marks another step in our effort to make industry-relevant BFSI education more accessible to students and young professionals. Through our campus-led learning initiatives, we aim to strengthen the connection between academia and industry, while helping learners build the knowledge and skills required to navigate opportunities across the BFSI ecosystem. We also see financial literacy as an important part of this journey, and remain committed to making financial education more practical, relevant and accessible to young Indians.”
FinX’s approach focuses on connecting academic institutions and industry to make learning more relevant to the requirements of the financial-services ecosystem. FinX emphasises financial literacy and awareness, including national-level programmes such as the Franklin Templeton National Mutual Fund Olympiad, which aims to help students develop a practical understanding of financial markets, investment and personal finance.
