Building on its reputation as a leading business school, IMT Ghaziabad has established the Centre for Financial Markets (CFM) to further its commitment to industry-oriented education and research. In line with IMT Ghaziabad’s vision, CFM plays a crucial role in bridging academia and industry in the financial sector. The centre aims to create a collaborative platform where students, faculty, and industry experts engage in knowledge exchange, research, and professional development. By integrating industry insights into academic learning, CFM enhances course delivery, strengthens industry networks, and promotes experiential learning. Its key objectives include advancing financial market research, fostering data-driven decision-making, and driving innovation through industry partnerships.

Recognizing Mumbai’s pivotal role in the financial ecosystem, CFM is establishing a presence in the city to deepen industry-academia collaboration. Mumbai, as the financial capital of India, is home to leading financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and global investment firms. Establishing CFM in Mumbai will provide direct access to industry leaders, fostering greater collaboration between academia and the financial industry. The Mumbai centre will serve as a hub for financial research, executive education, and industry-driven initiatives, ensuring that students and professionals gain real-world insights and hands-on experience in the evolving financial landscape. One of the key focus areas of CFM Mumbai will be the PGDM Banking and Financial Services program, designed to develop industry-ready professionals from day one. This strategic expansion aligns with IMT Ghaziabad’s mission to develop skilled professionals who can contribute meaningfully to the financial ecosystem while driving innovation and thought leadership in the sector.
