The 32-week program is delivered entirely through live online sessions led by IIT Kharagpur faculty and industry experts, with a batch commencing September 30, 2026.

The program is built for three broad profiles: managers in banking, NBFCs, insurance, or broking looking to lead the digital-first side of their organisations; product, engineering, and strategy professionals already inside fintech companies who want a formal credential to match their experience; and early-career builders or founder aspirants around three years into their careers who are exploring fintech or embedded finance.

Structured across seven modules, the curriculum moves from India's Digital Public Infrastructure and fintech business models through frictionless credit and compliant lending, digital assets and settlement, WealthTech and InsurTech, risk and RegTech, unit economics, and product management and venture strategy. Sessions are held live on weekends, designed to fit around a working professional's schedule. Participants also work on a capstone project, modelling the unit economics, compliance framework, and go-to-market case for a fintech product of their own choosing.

The program reflects a broader shift in what Indian fintech now demands: not just people who can use AI or operate on the India Stack, but those who can price risk, work within regulation, and govern AI-led decisions with real accountability.

On completion, participants receive a Professional Certificate from VGSoM along with IIT Kharagpur Executive Alumni status, conferred at an on-campus graduation ceremony at the Kharagpur campus.
