 6 Message from MD & CEO

India’s economic growth has helped maintain its position as one

of the world’s fastest growing economies. The current budget and
socio-political aspects has enabled a wider scope of opportunities
for the economy. With this, the future holds an optimistic approach
and also seems to be quite promising. With a strong determination
and vision to create a platform for genuine intellectual stimulation
and pioneering research as also to continue glorious tradition of the
innovator - BSE Ltd., it is our pleasure to introduce Post Graduate
Diploma In Global Financial Markets and Post Graduate Diploma
In Financial Technology wherein many of the world’s prominent
authorities in their domains have collaborated with us.
Every market player in today’s international arena - investors,
brokers, traders, employees of the banking or insurance industries,
including compliance professionals – must possess a comprehensive
knowledge comprising of the fundamentals of products and
markets in their line of work , as well as recognize the dynamics that
Mr. Ashishkumar Chauhan drive markets & the mathematics that explain it. If we look at the
future, say 50 years ahead, even more fancy market models may be
Managing Director & CEO, developed. These models would be even more accurate than what
BSE Limited. they are today.

.However, the incremental value addition from here to then in model creation industry for capital markets may still
keep out a large delta that will continue to provide employment opportunities even 50 years from now These two
programs provide a platform to sharpen analytical skills, effectively manage relationships with internal and external
constituencies and drive strategic direction to lead enterprise transformation and growth, while also applying cutting-
edge research to the most pressing problems faced by finance executives today. It will enable a strong strategic
intuition with emphasis on both, the formulation and implementation of strategy. Go beyond theory review and
generate real, immediate and useful ideas.

Three key principles that govern global financial markets are: Transaction processing & price signalling, need for
corporate governance and need for capital & new instruments. Currently, more than 50% Indians are below the
age of 25. On the other hand, less than 1.5% of the Indian population have invested in capital markets. This
emphasizes the immense potential our financial markets hold for the upcoming generations. As new markets open
up worldwide, it is essential to comprehend financial markets from a multifaceted global perspective.

The aim of the programs- Post Graduate Diploma In Global Financial Markets & Post Graduate Diploma In Financial
Technology is to provide students with a holistic educational experience that can be directly applied to the Financial
Services Industry. With the support of industry professionals, our students have the opportunity to directly apply
learned ideas, theories and tools in practicality and engage with the market at a unique level. We are confident that
these programs will be both enjoyable and rewarding, providing you with proficiency, knowledge and experience
that will prove hugely constructive and highly effective for your academic and professional careers.

A bright future awaits you!

 7 Message from MD & CEO

Deciding to pursue a serious learning endeavor is an important life

choice. It is a very wise investment in yourself and, probably, the best
thing you can do to create exciting new professional opportunities. The
payoff is not only professional, rather, many are surprised to discover,
the return on investment is first and foremost personal. You will learn
a lot about yourself along the way, see the world in a new way, face
numerous challenges that will push you to go beyond what you thought
you were capable of doing, and you will celebrate victories big and small
(some of which only you will know about).

As you will discover, the most challenging part is managing your “project”
- doing the work, making the time, meeting the deadlines, staying positive,
enjoying the process, and being both efficient and effective. And, like
all investments, the more you put in, the more you will get in return

At the BSE Institute, we endeavor to provide the support, guidance and

conducive environment to make these meaningful choices. Our brains
Mr. Ambarish Datta often drive us to do things that make no logical sense-but make perfect
Managing Director & CEO, emotional sense. That does not make us irrational.
BSE Institute Limited.

It makes us human. Our brains were originally designed to get more of whatever would improve our odds of survival
and to avoid whatever would worsen the odds. Emotional circuits deep in our brains make us instinctively crave
whatever feels likely to be rewarding -and shun whatever seems liable to be risky.

Financial decision-making is not necessarily about money, it’s also about intangible motives like avoiding regret or
achieving pride. Investing requires you to make decisions using data from the past and hunches in the present about
risks and rewards you will harvest in the future-filling you with feelings like hope, greed, surprise, fear, panic, regret,
and happiness.

Even after 30 years, we have remained agile and consider our institute a continuous work in progress. We are
continually striving to make each program better - better in terms of content, of pedagogical methods, of relevance
to employer and participant preferences, and of being in sync with today’s professional demands. And we are trying
to “walk the talk” in terms of applying the innovation methods we teach in the classroom as we “test and learn”
our way to develop new courses, services and programs.

We are proud to offer you forward-thinking content, delivered by experienced professionals, which addresses the
current issues facing people, organizations and society today – and equips you with the right skill-set to adjust to the
unprecedented challenges the future will present to all of us. We look forward to sharing this journey of reflection,
discovery and advancement with you!

At the BSE Institute you will become a part of a vibrant community of present and past students. The combined talent,
creativity, kindness, and excellence encompassed by students of all ages and backgrounds is truly the backbone of
our Institute. I’m sure each one of you will add value to this community.

 9 Introduction

India has a diversified financial sector, which is undergoing rapid expansion. The sector comprises of commercial banks,
insurance companies, non-banking financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds, mutual funds and other smaller financial
entities. The financial sector in India is predominantly a banking sector with commercial banks accounting for more than 60 per
cent of the total assets held by the financial system. India is today one of the most vibrant global economies, on the back of
robust banking and insurance sectors. The country is projected
to become the fifth largest banking sector globally by 2022, as Skill Attitude

 10 Learning Outside Classroom

There isn’t a hint of doubt that learning in the classroom will impart the requisite knowledge to the students. However, given
the scope of learning one can achieve through interactive and engaging activities, it becomes all the more important to address
these with our students. Teaching and learning can become spontaneous and student-centred when moved out of the confines
of the classroom and into the world, at large. Learning experiences outside the classroom are inherently interdisciplinary.

Our activity-based sessions focus on achieving practical, tangible, real-world results, by ensuring every participant is engaged
completely, throughout the program. The activities are less glamourous and more focused on making a significant impact on
the student’s growth.

Here, at BSE Institute, we provide an experiential learning environment where students feel energised and confident of speaking
their minds; ensuring every participant is constantly engaged, and continually learning.

We all learn in different ways and an essential part of the process of learning is gaining an understanding of ourselves and how
we learn most effectively. Academics is often an important step in our lives but the real education that makes us successful in
life takes place outside the controlled environment of a classroom.

Open box is an initiative that incorporates experiential learning strategy. Students are given challenging and exciting
experiences which are beneficial to maximize their potential. Various planned interventions are administered to enhance the
overall personality of the learner.

 11 Learning Outside Classroom

BIL Social - Interactive Sessions for Self Development

Gone are the days where academic excellence alone could land you
a good job. The industry, today, needs employees with well-rounded
personalities. In order to give its students an edge above the others,
not only academically but also as individuals, BIL hosts extra-curricular
activities and workshops for its students, every week.

BIL Social is a weekly event which incorporates various co-curricular

and extra-curricular activities, organized to help students step out of
their comfort zones and learn in the process. The primary objective of
this activity is to enhance the creativity and social skills of the students.
Students are placed in social situations which may not align with their
comfort zones. BIL Social provides them with an opportunity to develop
interpersonal relationships. Social interactions also boost self-esteem,
develop interpersonal skills & in turn, enable personal growth.

build leadership qualities, develop their communication skills & handle
conflict resolution. Participation in such events improves the critical
thinking skills of students. They expand their social circle, which help
them form connections and thus develop a greater world perspective.

very positive response from the students. Of course, awards & rewards
given out each week act as great positive motivators.

the same for taking out meaningful insights and then plugging those with the decision making and updating policies for better
organizational functions.

Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science will help professionals to succeed in any industry and teach them newer trends &
improvise basic processes. There is practically no sector which has remained untouched from the reach of Data Science. Data

Case Study
 19 Advantages of Post Graduate Diploma in FinTech

India has a diversified financial sector, which is undergoing rapid expansion. We are living in a world, where from booking a
holiday, cab, flight, movie tickets to ordering food or even catching up on the latest news, all is enabled by the smart phones we
carry. As technology is advancing, so is consumer demand for simplified, tech-enabled services across industries. The emergence
of financial technology in the consumer banking space is pushing banks to update themselves & adopt a more consumer-centric
and Technology-based approach.

Banking has been one sector that has been categorized by its low level of differentiation and engagement. It is also an industry
that has been the slowest to change and evolve with the times, often leaving consumers exasperated by the complexity of the
banking process. On the other hand, the advent of new technologies, evolving expectations of customers, emerging business
models, and stricter regulations are making banks constantly play catch up with technology in a rapidly changing world.

India is in the top ten financial technology markets in the world. Currently, more than 600 startups are in the field of lending,
payments, insurance and trading. Given the proliferation of digital payments in the country; the current financial technology
software services market stands at USD 8 billion & this is expected to grow to about USD 14 billion by 2020. There is something
new in the FinTech space every day. FinTech industry is freshly alive and ripe with immense opportunities. Post Graduate
Diploma in FinTech will provide the participants with a multitude of avenues into this red-hot field, all with the potential to
change their life, and the world, too.

BIFO - BSE International Financial Olympiad

BSE International Financial Olympiad is an initiative to extend financial literacy at the school level through its flagship innovative
and educative, national-level financial quiz competition. It is aimed at encouraging school students to explore and learn more
about the financial world by developing analytical and problem solving skills that will be essential to their careers. It focuses on
empowering students with a proper understanding of the opportunities in the financial markets. It helps students prioritize their
financial goals and guides them towards becoming financially responsible and independent individuals.

Young people, today, face more responsibilities and challenges than ever before. They now bear more of the costs of their own
education, they also tend to borrow large sums of money at an early age. Hence it is critical for them to be financially literate at
an early age. However their curriculum is already overloaded and with decreasing attention spans, conventional approaches to
teaching will not work, which is why we, at BSE Institute Ltd., thought of devising a fun filled national level competition to help
school children to acquire financial knowledge.

This year, we hosted the 6th edition of this event and we had a very good response, from all over the country. A total of 15,000
students from over 600 schools across the country participated in the national level competition which was spread over 6
months. We are confident that the BIFO will go a long way in encouraging our youth to be financially literate.
