Short-Duration

Certificate Course Certificate Programme in Applied FinTech & Artificial Intelligence (AFAI)

Build • Analyse • Automate • Innovate

The convergence of finance, Artificial Intelligence, and digital public infrastructure is transforming financial services worldwide, and India sits at the centre of this shift. In May 2026, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) processed a record 23.2 billion transactions worth approximately ₹29.9 lakh crore in a single month (NPCI), and UPI now accounts for roughly 85% of India’s retail digital payments. India represents close to half of global real-time payment volumes, and the IMF has recognised UPI as the world’s largest real-time payment system by transaction volume. India also ranks third globally in fintech market activity and funding (Global Fintech Index).

As a global FinTech leader, India requires future-ready professionals with practical expertise in digital finance, AI applications, data analytics, and technology-enabled financial innovation. Although students possess strong theoretical foundations in finance and management, a substantial gap persists between academic curricula and the rapidly evolving, AI-era skill requirements of the financial services industry. This programme is designed to close that gap.

A key development is the increasing prevalence of human and AI collaboration in which outputs are produced together through interactions between individuals and AI systems. This implies, to some degree, augmented integration, or a form of collaboration in which humans and AI systems jointly complete tasks (Raisch and Krakowski, 2021). However, such integration creates a fundamental challenge: when work is augmented by GenAI, it becomes difficult to attribute outcomes to human effort versus AI contributions. As a result, long-standing assumptions about productivity (e.g., how it is defined, measured, and compared) require reconsideration.

List of Topic Areas

• Conceptualizing productivity in AI work and careers
• Distinguishing between AI exposure, use, and augmentation
• Measuring human versus AI contributions to outputs and performance
• Changes in the distribution of performance (e.g., effects on high and lower performers)
• Implications of GenAI for skill development, career trajectories, and employability
• The role of HR practices, job design, and organizational context in shaping productivity related to AI
• Methodological approaches to studying AI and work (e.g., multi-source data, longitudinal designs, behavioral, other types of data)

The Goods and Services Tax reform constitutes one of the most pivotal tax policy reforms in India’s fiscal history; it seeks to integrate the indirect tax system and promote a seamless national market. From this perspective, the conference aims to explore the socio-economic aspects of the impact of GST reforms, with special regard to digitalization, taxpayer compliance, and how such reforms actually affect the ease of doing business, focusing particularly on Small and Medium Enterprises and informal sector players.
