Through this program, students will gain a strong foundation in key areas such as Business Value Chain & Business Risks, Regulatory, Ethical & Compliance Risks, Enterprise Risk Management, and Financial Risk Management – equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a world where managing risk is dynamic and central to organizational success.
Speaking on the relevance of risk education and the significance of the program, Professor Ananya Mukherjee, Vice-Chancellor, Shiv Nadar University, Delhi – NCR said, “The nature and complexity of risks which impact our lives have increased tremendously. We need our graduates to understand and anticipate risks and have the professional capacity to mitigate and manage risks. This pioneering undergraduate program in risk management underlines our commitment to bridging academic excellence with industry needs. By collaborating with GRMI, we are empowering students to master critical risk-management competencies and emerge as confident, industry-ready professionals.”
The program is designed to shape confident, competent and globally attuned risk leaders of tomorrow. It will feature an industry-specialized curriculum devised by leading practitioners, real-world cases, and professional mentorship seamlessly integrating theoretical concepts with hands-on experiential learning, bringing real-world perspectives into the classroom and expanding career opportunities.
Highlighting the need for risk management and speaking on the collaboration, Mr. Subhashis Nath, Founder and Dean of GRMI, said, “Future proofing the youth of today to deal with the VUCA world of risk that cuts across technology, process, geo-political challenges and talent mismatch, needs to be one of the key purposes of any new age educational institution. I am truly excited about two premier student focused institutes – Shiv Nadar University, Delhi – NCR and GRMI, coming together to curate and deliver the first ever program in India focused on experiential learning about risk management for undergraduate students.”
