FinX, the top BFSI learning platform in India, has opened a new campus in Kolkata. This will support FinX’s efforts to increase young people’s access to industry-focused financial education and BFSI skills.

Several eminent figures from the business and academic sectors attended the inauguration. The dignitaries were Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss Mutual Fund; Ratan Kumar Kesh, Executive Director, Bandhan Bank; and Meghdut Roy Chowdhury, Executive Director & CIO, Techno India Group.

The Kolkata campus contributes to FinX’s efforts to make industry-focused, hands-on learning in the BFSI sector readily accessible. By providing education, skills, and employability in one location, FinX’s learning ecosystem goes above and beyond the conventional educational system. The programs include national competitions, career-focused certifications, and institutional partnerships related to financial markets, mutual funds, and wealth management.

Himanshu Vyapak, MD & CEO, FinX, said, “The opening of our Kolkata campus represents an additional step in our endeavor to increase students’ and young professionals’ access to industry-relevant BFSI education. Through our campus-led learning programs, we hope to strengthen the relationship between academia and business while helping students develop the knowledge and skills needed to capitalize on opportunities across the BFSI ecosystem. We continue to be dedicated to improving the practicality, relevance, and accessibility of financial education for young Indians because we believe that financial literacy is a crucial component of this journey”.

To make education more pertinent to the needs of the financial-services ecosystem, FinX’s strategy focuses on establishing connections between academic institutions and business. FinX places a strong emphasis on financial literacy and awareness, including nationwide initiatives like the Franklin Templeton National Mutual Fund Olympiad, which seeks to give students a hands-on grasp of investments, personal finance, and financial markets.
