Career Track
Venture Track
Career Track
For Careers That Move Faster Than Job Titles
Whether you’re early in your career or looking to break into high-impact finance roles, the Placement Track is designed to help you enter the market sharper, more relevant, and harder to ignore.
Where You Can Land
Modern finance is no longer defined by institutions, but by how technology shapes products, decisions, and risk. Banks, NBFCs, fintechs, and wealth firms are all rebuilding themselves around these same tech-first finance skills.
What Actually Gets You Hired for Tech Enabled Finance roles
Fintech careers are not cracked through resumes, certifications, or just interview prep. They are built through three compounding inputs, deliberately designed into the program.
Proof of Work That Recruiters Can Actually Evaluate
Built Directly With the Industry That Recruits You
You are not trained for the industry. You are trained by it.

Mentorship From 25+ Product Leaders, CXOs & Operators
Senior fintech leaders, product heads, founders, and CXOs actively review your work, challenge your assumptions, and guide execution.
This trains you to think and perform at professional standards long before interviews begin.

Products Co-Created With 6 real Fintechs, Banks & Finance Leaders
Every major Product is designed with real companies and operators, reflecting live problem statements, real constraints, and market expectations.
This is the only program where you’ve built with the industry that hires you.

Real-Time Feedback, Not End-Semester Evaluation
Your work is reviewed continuously - just like inside a real company.
You learn to improve under feedback, pressure, and accountability, skills that recruiters and Management actually seek for these roles.
A Hiring Ecosystem That Converts Readiness Into Offers
Once capability is built, the ecosystem accelerates outcomes.
Success that shows you the way forward
Venture Track
For Those Who Want to Build, Not Just Join
Whether you’re building a fintech startup, exploring venture roles, or planning to lead innovation from day one, the Venture Track gives you structure, capital exposure, and founder-level thinking.
Not every idea gets funded.
And that’s exactly how it should be.
