“The dream is to invest in quality students, and produce jewels. Over a period of time,we will create this reputation. The people who walk out of this institute will be thepeople who create an intellectual revolution in the country. This is a dream and we willcertainly transform it into reality.”

“What we offer in the MBA programs should stay with you for the next two or threedecades. It should not be that when you walk out of the institution, what you havelearned is dated information. Sometimes the concern is the course is too academic. Arethe students really relevant in the real world? It is a balancing act. And what we areaiming for is the finished product.”

“Management education is on the threshold of a major change. Over the last fewdecades, wealth was created primarily by promoting consumption, credit expansion andaggressive leveraging which now has come to a halt due to the sub-prime crisis followedby industrial and banking bankruptcies. Now there is a paradigm shift. Prudency andconservatism have become the order of the day.

To succeed in this environment, courses in management education must betailor made and should deal with contemporary issues. Further, globalization has openedup new doors hitherto not thought of creating enormous challenges and opportunities.We at IFMR keep constantly revamping our existing courses and also create new ones todeal with the current economic issues. The students are made to become familiar withthe new market realities and at the same time not compromising on the academic rigor.

IFMR provides an excellent learning environment, supported by the eminentBoard of Governors with a vision to create holistic future managers who will possess theright kind of skill sets and a development orientation.

We will be grateful to you for considering our students for placement in youresteemed organization and assure you that they will meet up to your expectations andadd value to your organization.“

From the Course Director’s Desk

In the PGDM program, the focus is on providing a good grounding on managerial thinking, analytical problem

solving, integrated business perspective of the multiple functional disciplines which include economics, accounting, corporate

finance, marketing quantitative methods, information technology and decision sciences. Students are also exposed to market

research, both qualitative and quantitative which helps them during the course and also later on in the real time setup. The

rigorous curriculum, with both theoretical and practical applications of concepts, delivered through a blend of lectures, case

studies and activities, by a team of dedicated multi-disciplinary faculty, ensures better internalization of concepts and develop a

managerial orientation. Computing skills are a natural by-product of the pedagogy due to the heavy emphasis on information

technology based delivery and practice. Laptops are an integral part of the educational tool kit.

Another underlying highlight of the program is the project mode learning and development of social

sensitivity. IFMR has tied up with Banyan, an NGO working in the social development space. Students, besides being exposed to

activities of social development nature like mental health for the poor and downtrodden women; undertake a specific project which

involves application of management principles. In addition, the students are exposed to a number of seminars, given by various

visiting international faculty and industry experts, on a wide variety of topics related to management and related disciplines. The

idea is to develop a holistic perspective and appreciation in the students.

Financial Engineering


One doesn't have to look beyond the current crisis in global financial markets to appreciate the fact that the landscape of finance has

changed for good. The spotlight has been firmly turned back on the most abused four-letter word in finance: risk.

It would be naive to assume that the Indian economy is immune to such problems. Over the past one year, a number of corporates

have reported huge losses from trading in a class of financial products called derivatives. These have come in the backdrop of the explosive

growth of the Indian financial markets.

These developments, both on the global and the domestic front, have created a strong demand for financial engineers who can

understand these sophisticated products, model their cash-flows, price them accurately (using rigorous mathematical and computational

tools), trade and manage the risk arising from such products. This demand stems from a wide spectrum of financial functions - investment

banking, securities trading, quantitative modeling, risk management, financial consulting, catastrophic insurance and applied research.

The key question that needs to be addressed is: How equipped are today's students of management to comprehend the exciting (albeit

demanding) changes taking place in the world of finance? In 2005, we at IFMR decided to be proactive and offered a one-year program in

quantitative finance. This course was re-launched as a AICTE-approved two-year PGDM-Financial Engineering in 2007. The unique curriculum

emphasizes on application of quantitative techniques to problems in finance. These courses are taught by some of the finest finance faculty in

the country, also associated with the Center for Advanced Financial Studies (CAFS) at IFMR.

Now, to the actual proof of the pudding: we take great pride in saying that our alumni are pursuing highly successful careers. They

are presently working in well-reputed banks such as Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Barclays, World Bank, ICICI Bank and other leading

trading/consulting houses. Some of our former students are also currently pursuing their higher studies from leading universities such as

Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, New York University (NYU) etc.

PGDM – DSF

Development &Sustainable Finance


This program – the first of its kind - has evolved as a result of continued research carried out at IFMR.

There is a need to design mechanisms that would make deliverables reach the target group more efficiently. Satisfying this need

ensures successful implementation of development projects undertaken by government and non-government organizations. This

particular course aims at doing that- as to how to make India a better place to live in. As Professor Amartya Sen would put

it, “Development is not only about the growth of GNP per head, but also about the expansion of human freedom and dignity”.

Aimed at implementing classroom learning experience, this course allows students to associate

themselves with the research centers housed at IFMR that work with a focused end objective of improving the well being of the

poor. We have also entered into an agreement with “BANYAN” – an NGO. The faculty members handling this course are drawn not

only from IFMR but also from the research centers, various NGOs and bankers involved in microfinance.

Having gone through this course, the students will be able to showcase their skills in areas related to

microfinance, supply chain and agriculture, rural corporate finance, cooperative management , NGO management and other allied

fields in development.

IFMR TRUST

IFMR Trust helps IFMR B school with projects, placement and action learning opportunities. IFMR Trust is aprivate trust whose mission is to ensure that every individual and every enterprise in India has complete access to financialservices. This mission can be achieved only through systemic changes in the Indian financial system. Our vision of the financialsystem comprises three components:

1. Frontline provision of high-quality and adequate financial servicesIndia is a vast and diverse country, with a large rural population. It is unrealistic to expect a few national

institutions to have the reach to provide financial services to every individual and every enterprise -- the cost-to-serve wouldbe extremely high, and there would be huge information gaps. We believe it is necessary to have a number of permanent,local and autonomous entities that will serve as the last mile for financial intermediation.

2. Orderly transfer of risk However, local entities would typically be thinly capitalised and concentrated regionally. If their level of activity

and outreach is determined only by the extent of direct capital on their books, the entities are doomed to slow rates of growth.We believe scale can be engineered if we combine the local footprint of these entities with the ability of well-capitalised financialinstitutions to manage risk. Orderly transfer of risk between local entities and larger financial institutions and markets wouldaddress informationasymmetry as well as the moral hazards inherent in this multi-tier design.3. Holding of risk by well-capitalised diversified entities

If local providers of financial services hold all the risks locally, clients will be greatly exposed to local and regionalshocks, such as natural disasters and crop failure. They will not get the security and liquidity of savings and insurance that can beoffered by large, diversified entities. A stable and inclusive financial system should therefore have mechanisms that facilitate thewarehousing of risk by well-capitalised and diversified entities that have the ability to manage risk efficiently.

Working with several partners, we seek to advocate changes in the Indian financial system that would enabledevelopment of the above three components. Our advocacy effort is strengthened by research to enhance our understanding ofthe Indian financial system, as well as operations in areas where, despite repeated attempts, the Indian financial system has failedto evolve effective models, and the need for demonstrated success is high.

Consistent with the vision outlined above, we are directly incubating three operating models, through three ventures: • Through IFMR Holdings we are developing working prototypes of localised, high-quality entities to provide financial

services in remote parts of rural India. These entities are called Kshetriya Gramin Financial Services (KGFS) companies. • Through IFMR Advisory Services we are launching a private equity fund, the Network Enterprises Fund, to eliminate

systemic risk and make small rural enterprises 'financeable' by local banks/financial institutions. • Through IFMR Capital we are creating a financial intermediary that will ensure orderly transfer of risk between the

originators and aggregators of risk.

IFMR Trust Advocacy Unit (ITAU) spearheads our advocacy efforts, which are strengthened by experiences from the other three ventures. We bring to our efforts expertise in the design, delivery and scaling of financial services and a deep understanding of mainstream markets. Many of our efforts are guided by practical insights gained from action-research conducted at specialisedcentres of our affiliate, Institute Financial Management and Research (IFMR), Chennai.

http://www.ifmr.ac.in/cifd/

Despite the staggering growth of India’s financial sector, many financial needs remain unmet.Financial innovation is needed. At the centre for Innovative Financial Design, we feel a financial design framework isneeded to spur this innovation, a framework that is attuned to the unique features of the emerging markets – missingmarkets, contractual difficulties, customers with low and volatile incomes, and a need for project financing atindividual level. The centre

• Uses research and field insights to create and test novel financial products to address the basic needs of the poorand

• Produces conceptual advances in financial design which help in further innovations
