 5 Introduction

Banking and Finance sector in India has grown by leaps and bounds, and in the recent era, Information Technology (IT) has had
a 360-degree influence on the Indian financial sector. The industry is witnessing a transformation due to changes in consumer
needs, behavior, knowledge and their preferences. Embarking on clusters of innovation in recent times, the banking and finance
sectors along with IT industry are seeing profound effects.

India is sitting on the cusp of digital evolution, wherein growing emergence of technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotic
process automation and cloud computing are changing the way the software sector operates.

As technology integrates even deeper into consumers’ lives, the future of financial & IT related services will belong to companies
willing to empower their teams to not just embrace change, but to confidently lead business transformation efforts at a rate
that keeps pace with the market.

The world is evolving at a fast pace and innovation is the norm of the day. India’s IT services industry is worth $204.2 billion and
employs nearly four million workers. Thus it demands a workforce ready to adapt and innovate. But since there is a shortage of
good talent across the globe, majority of the MNC’s in tech field have time and again realized that India is a huge market which
cannot be ignored to acquire the right talent.

Volatility is no longer confined to the markets. Disruption is the only change! Thus these disruptions have presented themselves
in the form of Financial Technology, Data Analytics and Cyber Security. With the advent of these newer technologies and
applications, changes are likely to happen even more rapidly. Moreover, professionals employed in these fields have a great
opportunity to enhance their skill set as per the dynamic changes these industries inherit.

The time is ripe to dive into these industries!

Message from MD & CEO, BSE Limited

India is evolving. The nation has developed immensely over the years and
the future looks even more fascinating and promising. India’s progress
has increased the demand for professionals in every industry and this
demand must be satisfied to keep the nation moving along its current
trajectory of growth. BSE Ltd has been a trendsetter with a strong vision to
create a platform for cutting-edge research, and academics. BSE Institute
was set up as a center of excellence to groom skilled professionals for the
financial services industry.

The Internet of Things has bridged gaps in the world to the extent where
each and every one of us is connected to the other. Amidst growing
competition from Block Chain empowered, Peer-to-Peer lending and
Cryptocurrency gaining momentum, the roles of Banks and financial
institutions have shifted towards more technology enabled financial
services. As our lives become increasingly dependent on digital services,
the need to protect our information from being maliciously disrupted or
misused is paramount. The field of Data Analytics & Cybersecurity has
grown in significance and has evolved into a lucrative field for young
Mr. AshishKumar Chauhan
professionals. With firms relying more heavily on forecast figures and
Managing Director & CEO
prospective management, analysis & interpretation of data have become BSE Limited
the need of the hour.

Recognising the inevitable need for professionals to execute this monumental task, BSE Institute is now offering Post Graduate
Programs in Data Analytics, Fintech and Cybersecurity. Considering the plethora of opportunities the future promises, these
programs will play a pivotal role in shaping the professionals and enabling them to carve a niche for themselves.

Message from MD & CEO, BSE Institute Limited

We at BSE Institute Limited are in a continual process of developing
responsible, thoughtful leaders and entrepreneurs who create value for
their organizations and their communities.

Technology is one of the most important function of any organization

today as it has practically changed the way any business is done. Finance
is one of the last industries to be disrupted, but considering the impact
that the world of Finance has on economies all over the World, it is
important to sit back and notice the way the industry is changing.

The biggest challenge that major banks and financial institutions face is
their inability to hire large number of talented professionals for managing
these businesses, due to the unavailability of skilled professionals. The
industry desperately needs professionals who are technically sound &
understand financial markets, banking and technology.

Our Post Graduate Programs provides a platform for young and dynamic
professionals to upskill their knowledge and equip them with the ability Mr. Ambarish Datta
to identify opportunities and drive meaningful changes across industries. Managing Director & CEO

Data Analytics - New Technology Frontier!

With a population size in billions, we as a country are synonym to ever growing talent pool; catering to the needs of each and
every sector possibly known to human kind. This has resulted in India becoming an absolute hub for all those foreign companies
looking to find one of the best outsourcing places. The rapid developments in the field of Data Analytics shall change the world
of businesses; as well as business models; and help them improve exponentially too.

Everything depends on data; from big multinationals to small business alike. All great minds use this data to formulate better
strategies for the future of their companies. Since India has always been seen as a technology outsourcing hub, so is true, when
it comes to analysing the data using analytics and big data technologies.

If you want to succeed in any industry, you need to study newer trends & improvise in your processes. There is practically
no sector which has remained untouched from the reach of Data Analytics. Data analysts, with the right set of skills and
expertise; are in demand in a wide range of industries where businesses are realizing the potential of enabling analytics in their
organization.

“Data is like a wine, it tastes good on the maturity.” And they rightly say, data and numbers don’t lie!

India’s analytics industry is currently estimated to be $2.03 billion annually in revenues & it is expected to nearly double by 2020,
a study conducted by Analytics India Magazine and AnalytixLabs has found.

India at present has close to 600 Data Analytics firms with the potential for about 100 new data driven start-ups ready to launch
into the industry. It is believed by many statisticians that by 2020, India will have a huge demand and supply misbalance and will
be in need of close to 2,00,000 analytical data experts in the field of Data Analytics. Thus, it is set to bring equal opportunities
for all - starting from fresher to experienced professionals in the space. Hence, the scope for data analysts and data scientists is
humongous.

Course Objective: To enable working professionals with in depth understanding of the key technologies used in analytics, viz.
data mining, machine learning, visualization techniques and statistics. This course describes how one can turn the sheer complex
data into a competitive advantage with the efficient use of data analytics & thereby fostering / supporting the decision making.

FinTech - Endless Possibilities!

India has a diversified financial sector, which is undergoing rapid expansion. We are living in a world, where from booking
a holiday, cab, flight, movie tickets to ordering food or even catching up on the latest news, all is enabled by the smart
phones we carry. As technology is advancing, so is consumer demand for simplified, tech-enabled services across industries. The
emergence of financial technology in the consumer banking space is pushing banks to update themselves and adopt a more
consumer-centric and Technology-based approach.

Banking has been one sector that has been categorized by its low level of differentiation and engagement. It is also an industry
that has been the slowest to change and evolve with the times, often leaving consumers exasperated by the complexity of the
banking process. On the other hand, the advent of new technologies, evolving expectations of customers, emerging business
models, and stricter regulations are making banks constantly play catch up with technology in a rapidly changing world.

Consumers from unbanked markets have mostly benefitted from the advent of FinTech companies. There is something new in
the FinTech space every day. Traditionally, it was thought to be a disruptor but now it is an innovator and enabler.

India is in the top ten financial technology markets in the world. Currently, more than 600 startups are in the field of lending,
payments, insurance and trading. Given the proliferation of digital payments in the country; the current financial technology
software services market stands at USD 8 billion and this is expected to grow to about USD 14 billion by 2020.

Course Objective: To enable working professionals with an insight in the financial technology revolution, and the disruption,
innovation and opportunity therein. It will help professionals to upskill finance & tech related knowledge and seize the
opportunity for innovation and growth in the financial sector.

Cyber Security - NextGen Tech Aegis!

With the move towards a digital economy, increasing amount of consumer data will be stored digitally and a large number of
transactions will be carried out online, by companies, individuals as well as government departments. That makes India a bigger
target for cyber-criminals and hackers. Various stakeholders, especially Indian companies, need to be better prepared to handle
this threat.

Cyber Security is a field which is constantly evolving; in which updated and specialized knowledge is essential. One of the
biggest misconceptions about cybersecurity is that cyberattacks are restricted to the financial services and banking sector. It is
important to note that industrial companies are equally vulnerable.

According to the McAfee report, new malware samples leaped 67% to 52 million, new ransomware samples increased 54% to
10.7 million samples and total mobile malware grew 61% in the past four quarters to 18.4 million samples. Given the nature
and scale of threat, Indian companies are not investing enough in security. For example, global banks spend up to 15% of their
IT budget, but in India it’s hardly 2-3% of the IT security budget.

As our lives increasingly depend on digital services, the need to protect our information from being maliciously disrupted or
misused is really important. Thus the move towards a digital economy is likely to trigger a fresh wave of economic growth,
attract more investment and create exciting jobs across multiple sectors.

Companies today seek candidates who not only have excellent knowledge of their field and specialist skills, but who can cope
with dynamism and lead the company successfully through changes. It is now up to companies to ensure they are ready and
prepared to harness and exploit the opportunities this evolution will bring. The only way to do that is to ensure that cybersecurity
finds its way into the boardroom agenda.

Course Objective: The course length is geared to walk you through the need of Cyber security in a far broader way in order
to safeguard the information infrastructure and foster a culture of cyber security that promotes safe and appropriate use of
cyberspace.
