Programme Overview
The CFO role in India is evolving fast—from a compliance-focused function to a strategic leader driving technology, regulation, and enterprise transformation. Today’s CFO must balance financial discipline with forward-looking decisions amid market shifts and rapid digital adoption. Across sectors, finance leaders now co-own digital agendas, automation, shared-services modernization, and tech-led efficiencies. Their scope spans capital discipline, governance reforms, ESG, restructuring, M&A, and profitable, tech-enabled growth. With rising regulatory complexity and deeper global integration, CFOs need stronger strategic acumen, digital fluency, AI readiness, and data-driven decision-making. These capabilities now define CFO impact in India’s changing economy.
The IIM Raipur - Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Programme responds to this shift with a curriculum crafted for India’s next-generation financial leaders. It equips participants to interpret capital markets in the Indian context, lead governance and risk aligned with domestic regulations, and navigate ESG expectations shaped by SEBI and global standards. Through India-specific case studies, hands-on frameworks, AI-driven financial transformation strategies, and peer learning with senior leaders, the programme prepares participants to lead not just finance but also enterprise strategy with the clarity, capability, and confidence required to excel in India’s fast-transforming business environment.
