The Hindu Business Line : New course in commercial risk management

New Delhi, Oct. 7 The International College of Financial Planning (ICoFP), promoted by the Bajaj Capital Group, launched a new course on commercial risk management on Tuesday.

The new postgraduate diploma in commercial risk management is aimed at offering students an in-depth knowledge on how to underwrite large commercial risks and how to create a risk-intelligent business especially in today’s challenging times.

Speaking at the launch, Mr Anish Wig, CEO of ICoFP, said, “The new industry that’s growing is insuring unconventional items. Companies should have a risk manager to have a business continuity plan. This sector is growing in India.” He added that the college had applied to the Chartered Insurance Institute in the UK for accreditation. After getting the accreditation the college will become an approved offshore learning centre of the UK based institute. The International College of Financial Planning will also be designing the course content based on the courses taught in the Chartered Insurance Institute.

Mr Vinod Sehgal, Managing Director, Bajaj Capital Insurance Broking Ltd, said, “Insurance companies now have to do business to make profit as well. Risk management opens up a whole new career in insurance for the youngsters of today.”
