Significance of Applied Finance in the
Rapidly Growing Indian Economy
According to the World Bank’s India Development Update (IDU), India
remained the fastest-growing economy, increasing by 8.2% in the
Financial Year 2023-24.

As India continues to become a dynamically expanding economy, the

role of applied finance is increasingly crucial. Be it seasoned
professionals or organisations, informed financial decisions are the
key to leading in a fast-paced era. Investment opportunities,
entrepreneurial growth, risk management, financial inclusion and
global integration are some of the significant aspects of applied
finance for sustainable economic growth.

Organisations stay one step ahead with strategic financial planning.

Forecasting future performance, budget allocation, risk management
and protection of assets become manageable. Risk management is a
critical area that applied finance helps majorly with. It identifies and
reduces financial risks to balance cash flows, enhancing capital
structure and profitability while driving innovation. With effective
allocation of resources, applied finance ensures that funds are
directed towards the productive areas of the organisation.

For professionals and organisations, applied finance provides tools

and techniques to manage finances effectively, contributing to
sustainable financial growth and stability. While the Indian economy is
accelerating, it is essential to make excellent financial decisions and
stay abreast of the trends and technologies in new-age finance.
