About Us

“Finance is the blood of a business" is a commonly accepted piece of wisdom. Finance is indeed one of the most critical sectors of economy and thus knowing how to manage it is a sought-after skill in today’s times. The demand for financial skills has always been cosmic which has led to an increase in the number of students opting for education in the finance domain in the present times.

The Finance Area of FORE has a rich blend of academic and industry experience in its faculty. Faculty is actively engaged in all three facets: teaching, research and executive education. Faculty bring in their industry experience to classroom relating to different domain areas in finance supported by case studies, simulations, learning through excel and other software. Finance subjects impart knowledge across a wide spectrum from basic accounting, financial management to electives which are reviewed every year and based on ‘need of the hour’. In addition, seminar sessions are conducted by the faculty on contemporary topics which are not covered in the regular curriculum to enhance the knowledge of the students.

Apart from academics, the area holds various interactive sessions with eminent corporate and industry leaders through its FORE Economics and Finance Forum (FEFF) that ensures holistic development of the students.

Faculty in the area publish research papers and cases in reputed national and international journals. The area is actively involved in executive education through management development programs, both open and customized.
