Genpact signs agreement with Jadavpur University

With this MoU, the two organizations will work together to develop an Analytics and Research program. This program will be offered in the Masters in Economics stream run by the university. 

This proprietary program will leverage Genpact’s rich experience and broad suite of analytics solutions serving multiple banks globally and helps students gain experience with tools, business applications and the latest industry trends and expectations. 

The program will provide students with direct exposure to risk management and financial services analytics applications, which will be imparted through guest lectures and workshops conducted by Genpact’s subject matter experts and training partners. The course aims to provide both theoretical and practical experience in analytics as applied in different industries. Upon successful completion of the program, students will become eligible for employment in the Risk Analytics practice at Genpact.

To keep up with the extremely dynamic and competitive business environment and to address the talent gap in the industry, Genpact has established the ‘Risk Academy’ as an engine to hire, train, develop and manage talent. A combination of complex and ever-increasing regulations and an increasing cost of hiring experts are impacting the banking and financial services industry worldwide, resulting in the surge in demand for risk analysts with specialized skills in data management, statistical analysis and risk management.

Announcing the signing of the MoU, Manish Chopra, Senior Vice President and Business Leader, Risk Services at Genpact said, “Genpact’s Risk Academy differentiates us in quickly adding a sustainable talent pool of industry-ready resources in niche areas like model validation, stress testing, and data analytics. We look forward to further innovation and developing a broader platform for risk management with Jadavpur University.“

Amit Bhaskar, Vice President and Head, Financial Services Analytics at Genpact said, “Our idea is to help young professionals build a deeper appreciation of analytical tools and their application, making the brightest minds job-ready in a dynamic industry.”
