  • An increasingly large number of financial institutions, entrepreneurs, family offices and HNIs, corporate finance professionals, investment bankers, private bankers, lawyers, due-diligence professionals, and advisors are getting exposed to this growing industry
  • This course intends to give them a practitioner’s perspective of the industry to help them understand & navigate it better
  • It is curated for professionals who have recently entered or are looking to transition into this sector and for managers in organizations regulators are seeking to interface with this sector.
