The MoU, signed on 20th February 2026 at GIFT City, Gujarat, between Shri Gyaneshwar Kumar Singh, Director General & Chief Executive Officer, IICA, and Shri K.

Emphasising the vision behind the establishment of IFSCA, he noted that the creation of a unified regulator within a short span of five years is nothing short of a &ldquo;miracle&rdquo; and a testament to India’s regulatory foresight. In his address, Shri Singh highlighted the importance of fostering innovation through fintech and underscored the role of IFSCA in contributing to the vision of Viksit Bharat. He stressed that officers must develop a strong understanding of multidimensional regulatory frameworks, including laws governed by authorities such as SEBI and PFRDA, to effectively regulate and guide the evolving financial ecosystem. Further, he encouraged participants to make the most of the week-long programme through productive and immersive learning, ensuring practical understanding alongside theoretical knowledge. The programme proceeded with a Welcome Address by Dr. Neeraj Gupta, and a detailed Programme Overview by Dr. Pyla Narayana Rao, highlighting the structure, objectives, and expected outcomes of the training. As part of the programme, the participants are also visiting Sansad Pride on 16th and 17th April 2026, aimed at providing them with practical exposure to parliamentary proceedings and legislative processes, thereby enriching their understanding of governance and regulatory functioning. The training programme features expert-led sessions by eminent professionals and academicians covering a wide range of topics including corporate governance, securities regulations, corporate finance, financial reporting, cross-border insolvency, and IFSC-specific regulatory frameworks. The initiative reflects IICA’s continued commitment to capacity building and policy support for regulatory institutions, while reinforcing its role as a premier think tank under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The programme will conclude on 18th April 2026 with a valedictory session and certificate distribution ceremony. ***** NB/ONP (Release ID: 2252811) Visitor Counter : 3976 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Gujarati Ministry of Corporate Affairs Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) Conducts One Week Induction Training Programme for IFSCA Officers Posted On: 17 APR 2026 9:25AM by PIB Delhi International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) and the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), IICA has commenced a One Week Induction Training Programme for Assistant Managers of IFSCA from 13th to 18th April 2026 at its campus in Manesar.
