Introduction to Banking

By Prof. M. Jayadev   |   Indian Institute of Management Bangalore
Learners enrolled: 2109

This course provides an introduction to the structure and functioning of the Indian financial system, with a special focus on commercial banking operations. The primary thrust of the course is to provide understanding on micro and functional management of commercial banks. The first part emphasizes core areas such as liabilities, credit, capital management, and investment management. It then explores the landscape of Indian banking, including commercial banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), followed by modules on liquidity management and risk assessment. The course also covers capital adequacy norms, regulatory frameworks (including Basel norms), and the evolving role of banks as financial intermediaries. In the latter modules, students will engage with current innovations in banking such as digital transformation, fintech, open banking, and emerging technologies like robo-advisory. The final module focuses on financial inclusion, sustainable banking practices, and the broader theme of sustainability in finance.

 

By the end of the course, learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of both traditional and modern banking practices, be able to apply principles of credit and risk management, interpret capital regulations, and appreciate the role of technology and sustainability in shaping the future of the financial sector.
