| | NOVEMBER 20244India's economic landscape is marked by ambitious long-term and short-term goals, underpinned by a robust growth trajectory. The expanding economy and thriving capital markets are driving a significant demand for investment bankers adept at managing complex financial transactions. Specifically, the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector is experiencing rapid transformation, with projections indicating that the enterprise fintech industry will reach approximately $20 billion by 2030. Despite the substantial need for financial professionals, there is a notable disparity as the number of students enrolling in commerce courses is not increasing at a comparable rate.A study by the Ministry of Education reveals that only 14 percent of Indian students chose the commerce stream for higher secondary education annually over the past decade (2012-2022). To provide a clearer perspective, the study indicates that 30.9 lakh students enrolled in the arts stream in 2012, rising to 40 lakh in 2022. The science stream saw an increase from 30.7 lakh students in 2012 to 42 lakh in 2022. In contrast, the commerce stream had 13.7 lakh students in 2012, with a modest increase to 14.4 lakh students in 2022.As the economy continues to grow, particularly within the flourishing financial sector, the demand for financial professionals is expected to increase significantly, leading to a substantial demand-supply gap. It is imperative for the government to prioritize the promotion of commerce education, leveraging the abundance of quality educational institutions available in the country. In this yearly special issue, we have featured some of the prestigious business leaders who are alumni of top business schools in the country.
