As Artificial Intelligence reshapes finance functions across accounting, audit, financial reporting and business finance, employers are increasingly seeking professionals who can combine technical accounting expertise with AI literacy, analytical thinking and business acumen. This shift is becoming more pronounced as India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem expands, with multinational organisations establishing higher-value finance, analytics and controllership functions in the country. Against this backdrop, Simandhar Education is witnessing growing interest among students in globally recognised qualifications such as the US CPA and US CMA, reflecting changing career aspirations and evolving recruiter expectations. Future of Jobs in Finance in the AI World explores these shifts through the perspectives of leading finance professionals, offering practical insights into the skills and capabilities that will define the next generation of finance talent.
Launched in Bengaluru, India’s leading Global Capability Centre (GCC) hub, Future of Jobs in Finance in the AI World reflects Karnataka’s growing role in shaping the future of global finance talent. Home to one of the country’s largest concentrations of multinational finance and GCC operations, Bengaluru has emerged as a key destination for high-value finance, analytics, controllership and transformation roles. Against this backdrop, CONFLUENCE 2026 brought together finance leaders, educators and aspiring professionals to discuss how AI is reshaping finance careers, how GCCs are redefining employer expectations, and how education must evolve to prepare talent for the next generation of finance roles. The discussions explored three central themes emerging from the publication: AI will increasingly take over repetitive tasks, but human judgment and decision-making will remain critical; technical qualifications must be complemented by data literacy, AI fluency, communication and integrity; and the future of finance will belong to professionals who can think critically, lead, make decisions and create business value.
Speaking at the launch, Sripal Jain, CA, CPA and Co-Founder, Simandhar Education, said: “India is at the centre of a major shift in global finance. As GCCs expand and AI reshapes the way finance teams operate, we are witnessing a fundamental change in the skills employers value and the careers students aspire to build. At Simandhar Education, we are seeing this shift reflected in the growing interest among commerce graduates and working professionals in globally recognised qualifications such as the US CPA and US CMA, particularly among those preparing for careers in GCCs, multinational organisations and global finance teams. Future of Jobs in Finance in the AI World was created to bridge the gap between industry expectations and classroom learning by bringing together insights from 11 CFOs and senior finance leaders on the capabilities that will define the next generation of finance professionals. We hope the publication serves as a practical guide for students, educators and professionals preparing for the future of finance.”
Benjamin Wong, Director – International, Becker Professional Education, said: “India is fast becoming one of the most important markets for global accounting and finance talent. As multinational organisations continue to expand their finance and GCC operations, the demand for professionals with internationally recognised qualifications and future-ready skills is growing rapidly. Becker’s collaboration with Simandhar Education combines globally trusted learning resources with local academic excellence, ensuring that learners have access to the knowledge, technology and practical support needed to succeed in an AI-enabled global profession. We believe India will play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of global finance talent.”
CONFLUENCE 2026 concluded with a shared industry view that the future of finance will be defined by professionals who can successfully combine accounting expertise with Artificial Intelligence, technology and business leadership. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions and the launch of Future of Jobs in Finance in the AI World, the conclave created a platform for industry, academia and aspiring professionals to exchange ideas on preparing finance talent for an AI-driven future. Simandhar Education and Becker Professional Education said they will continue to build on these conversations through industry engagement, research, future editions of the publication, thought leadership initiatives and globally benchmarked learning programmes, helping students and professionals stay aligned with the evolving needs of employers and the global finance ecosystem.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 12: Tapplent, a global HR technology company, today announced the launch of Tapplent iHVI (Integrated Human Value Intelligence), a next-generation enterprise workforce intelligence platform designed for organizations to navigate the convergence of AI, workforce disruption, rising talent costs, productivity pressure, and enterprise adaptability. With the launch of iHVI, Tapplent is creating a new category for workforce recruitment, onboarding, planning, learning, management and growth helping enterprises make the shift beyond traditional human resource management to unlock the full potential of their workforce in real-time.
Tapplent iHVI is an innovative, automated, end-to-end platform for strategic decision-making enabling enterprises in the AI age make faster people decisions by combining human judgement with contextual intelligence. It is a unified intelligence ecosystem that connects workforce operations, capability intelligence, behavioural patterns, productivity signals, learning systems, organizational trust, AI-assisted decision-making, and business outcomes into one continuously evolving enterprise intelligence framework.
At its core, Tapplent iHVI integrates four critical dimensions of human capability:
- Intelligent Quotient (IQ) which is the problem-solving and decision-making capability.
- Emotional Quotient (EQ) that drives trust, influence, and relationship dynamics.
- Creative Quotient (CQ) which helps deliver innovation and adaptability.
- Human Value Quotient (HVQ) that is the ability to convert intelligence into measurable enterprise outcomes.
Together, these four dimensions create a continuous intelligence framework that enables enterprises to understand how value is created, amplified, and scaled across teams, functions, leadership structures and distributed workforces. This helps organizations track how decisions influence outcomes, identify high-value contributors beyond formal hierarchies, map trust, collaboration, and innovation flows and continuously align capability with business strategy.
“We are creating an entirely new and innovative workforce management category defined by systems of intelligence and not by systems of transactions as it has been,” said Sanjay Raina, Co-Founder and Director of Tapplent Inc. “Our iHVI TM is a truly unified, connected workforce intelligence system enabling enterprises to understand, orchestrate, adapt, and scale human capability alongside AI systems. It helps evolve the enterprise ecosystem towards AI-enabled systems, conversational interfaces, automation layers, agentic workflows, architected to improve experience flexibility and interoperability. Intelligent enterprises, thus become living systems of agility, adaptability, and acceleration driving their next strategic advantage.”
The launch of Tapplent iHVI comes at a pivotal moment for global enterprises as they are evolving into ‘Living Systems’ that are continuously learning, adapting, and evolving through real-time decisions, human interactions and trust networks and, distributed intelligence across teams. This helps enterprise systems evolve beyond constructs such as roles, skills, and periodic performance metrics, into how human capability translates into business value.
“What’s unique about Tapplent iHVI is the rapid deployment and adoption it enables with its user-friendly interface powering the enterprise to derive benefits faster, delivering higher productivity and efficiency,” added Raina. “I strongly believe the future is in building intelligence infrastructures capable of continuously connecting people, capability, productivity, trust, learning, operational execution, and business outcomes at enterprise scale.”
The Tapplent iHVI Platform enables enterprises to:
- Unify workforce data with behavioural and capability insights,
- Understand how human value is created across individuals, teams, and networks,
- Identify emerging capability patterns and gaps in real time,
- Support better decision-making through deeper human context,
- Align people, processes, and AI systems more effectively and,
- Continuously evolve the organization as a dynamic system of human capability.
Building the HR Intelligence Layer of the Enterprise
Tapplent is establishing a new foundational layer in enterprise architecture with the integrated Human Value Intelligence (iHVI) Layer that connects Capability to Intelligence to Decisions to Outcomes.
Tapplent iHVI is structured around five intelligence layers:-
- Human Insight Intelligence
- Talent Discovery Intelligence
- Capability Acceleration Intelligence
- Performance Intelligence
- Culture and Trust Intelligence
As enterprises evolve through different stages of HR and digital maturity, the first intelligence-orchestrated workforce layer, Tapplent Workforce Intelligence Fabric™ is focused on industries experiencing some of the world’s highest workforce complexity — volume hiring demand, distributed operations, frontline workforce dependency, and attrition intensity. These sectors include BFSI, GCCs, retail, logistics, delivery ecosystems, staffing, and BPO industries where workforce productivity, speed-to-hire, capability readiness, operational agility, and employee retention directly influence business performance and cost economics at scale.
Tapplent believes these sectors represent one of the most immediate opportunities for intelligent workforce infrastructure, where enterprises require continuously adaptive platforms capable of sensing workforce patterns, enabling rapid workforce deployment, improving capability readiness, and helping leadership make faster and more contextual people decisions.
Availability
The Tapplent iHVI platform is now available to enterprises in India. For more information, please visit tapplent.com or email us at contact@tapplent.com

]]>Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], April 27: As Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI begin to shape not only technology functions but the broader direction of business, organisations are seeking managers who can engage with these shifts with commercial acumen and strategic clarity. Addressing this need, the Indian Institute of Management Nagpur, in collaboration with TimesPro, has launched the inaugural batch of the Post Graduate Certificate Programme in AI & GEN AI for Managers. The programme has been conceived for professionals who wish to move beyond a theoretical understanding of AI and use it as a practical enabler of decision-making, transformation and leadership.
The eight-month programme is structured across five modules that bring together core AI concepts, Generative AI applications and managerial thinking. It enables participants to assess business challenges through an AI lens, identify areas where these technologies can create genuine value and approach adoption with greater rigour and discipline. By linking technology with governance, strategy and executive judgement, the programme aims to help participants align AI initiatives more closely with organisational priorities and long-term business outcomes.
The launch comes at a time when AI is moving decisively into the mainstream of business decision-making. In India, demand for AI leadership talent has accelerated, with reports indicating a 40–60 per cent year-on-year rise in AI leadership roles in FY25, particularly across IT, consulting, global capability centres, financial services and healthcare. McKinsey’s recent work on the future of work also suggests that organisations will increasingly rely on collaboration between people, AI agents and robots, making distinctly human strengths such as judgement, creativity and contextual understanding even more critical in leadership roles.
Speaking on the announcement, Dr. Bhimraya Metri, Director, IIM Nagpur said, “Artificial Intelligence is now influencing how organisations think, compete and evolve. Managers, therefore, need more than familiarity with emerging tools; they need the ability to evaluate relevance, ask sharper questions and lead adoption with sound judgement. This programme has been designed to build that capability through a thoughtful blend of conceptual grounding, practical application and strategic insight.”
Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro said, “The market no longer rewards managers for simply understanding AI terminology. It requires leaders who can connect technology with commercial priorities, functional execution, governance and change. Our collaboration with IIM Nagpur has been shaped around that reality, creating a rigorous learning experience, applied and closely aligned with how organisations are building capability for the next phase of growth.”
The programme is suited to a broad spectrum of professionals, including mid-level managers, business heads, functional leaders, marketing and sales professionals, operations, supply chain and HR managers, finance professionals, digital transformation leads and entrepreneurs. On successful completion, participants may explore roles such as AI Strategy Lead, AI Programme Manager, Senior Manager or Functional Head, Head of AI-driven Marketing or Digital Strategy, and Head of Digital Transformation or AI Programme Director, among others.
The academic structure covers AI and Gen-AI Fundamentals, Applied Machine Learning and Advanced AI Frameworks, Leveraging AI Applications Across Business Domains, Strategic Aspects of AI and Gen-AI, and a Capstone Project on Implementing AI for Business Impact. The programme also offers exposure to a range of widely used platforms and tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, DALL·E 3 and Stable Diffusion, helping participants understand how the evolving AI ecosystem can be interpreted and applied in managerial settings.
The programme comprises 105 learning hours and will be delivered through TimesPro’s Interactive Learning platform in Direct-to-Device mode. The pedagogy combines live online sessions, case-based discussions, hands-on training, industry use cases, Chamber Consulting and faculty-led learning to ensure that the experience remains closely tied to managerial realities. Participants will also attend a two-day campus immersion at IIM Nagpur towards the end of the programme, creating opportunities for peer learning, academic engagement and professional networking.
Applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree from a recognised institution and have a minimum of three years of professional work experience will be eligible to apply. Participants who successfully complete the programme requirements will be awarded the PG Certificate Programme in AI and Gen AI for Managersv by IIM Nagpur.

“Our brand is now better aligned with our business philosophy—Let’s Grow Together, which echoes through every partnership, every transformation journey, and every impact we aim to create,” Ankit Chadha further added.
The updated identity captures the essence of TRC’s transformed vision and mission, which now places greater emphasis on sustainable growth, digital and operational transformation, and stakeholder-centric value creation. While TRC has always championed trust and accountability, the new logo serves as a visual embodiment of these core values, signaling clarity of purpose, ethical business practices, and a future-oriented mindset.
TRC’s rebranding is not merely cosmetic; it is a strategic message to all stakeholders. Clients, partners, vendors, and employees are at the heart of this transition, as the firm extends a collective call to action: Let’s Grow Together.

At the forefront of this shift is RMZ, one of the largest privately held alternative asset owners globally, founded and led by Raj Menda and Manoj Menda. Over the past two decades, RMZ has grown from its real estate roots into a diversified multi-sector investment platform encompassing alternative assets, urban transformation, infrastructure, and high-growth thematic investments. “We are not passive investors—we are creators of long-term value,” said Manoj Menda, Co-Chair of RMZ’s Supervisory Board. “The best investment platforms are those that don’t just allocate capital but actively shape industries and define market cycles.”
A New Model for Private Investment: Beyond Family Offices and Traditional Funds
Unlike conventional family offices, which primarily serve as capital allocators, RMZ Corporation operates as a fully integrated investment ecosystem.
Rather than relying on a family office structure, RMZ’s unique model enables it to directly build, own, and manage investment platforms across alternative assets, infrastructure, and real estate. This distinction offers RMZ a significant advantage in capital deployment, operational efficiency, and risk management.
- Direct Ownership of Investment Platforms: Unlike external fund managers, RMZ controls every stage of the investment lifecycle.
- Institutional-Grade Investment Teams: RMZ’s dedicated teams in infrastructure, public markets, and thematic investments operate at the level of a global alternative asset manager.
- Agility in Capital Allocation: RMZ’s ability to move seamlessly across sectors and geographies ensures consistent outperformance across investment cycles.
“Our model ensures that we are never dependent on external managers to execute our vision,” said Raj Menda, Co-Chair of RMZ’s Supervisory Board.
Strategic Capital Deployment: Thematic Investing for the Future
The next decade of wealth creation will be shaped by infrastructure expansion, urban transformation, and technology-driven investments. RMZ has positioned itself to capitalize on these shifts by building a proprietary investment framework focusing on:
- Infrastructure & Digital Expansion: With global infrastructure investment needs projected to exceed $94 trillion by 2040 (World Bank), RMZ is targeting opportunities in urban transformation, energy transition, and next-generation logistics hubs.
- Luxury & Experiential Real Assets: As high-net-worth individuals shift spending from assets to experiences (Bain & Co. 2025), RMZ is investing in premium hospitality, entertainment, and lifestyle developments.
“Capital flows are being redefined,” said Manoj Menda. “The best investment firms will not simply follow trends; they will build the next generation of transformative assets.”
Why RMZ’s Investment Model Outperforms Traditional Funds
RMZ’s ability to build and own its investments, rather than acting as a limited partner in external funds, provides clear advantages:
- No Constraints of External Mandates: Unlike private equity funds, RMZ is not constrained by short-term exit timelines or predefined mandates.
- Customized Investment Structures: RMZ’s direct investment model allows it to structure deals for maximum return and risk-adjusted capital efficiency.
- Sustained Wealth Creation: By retaining ownership of its assets, RMZ ensures that investments continue to generate value across multiple economic cycles.
“Wealth preservation is about adaptability,” said Raj Menda. “The ability to manage capital across cycles, without the restrictions of third-party fund structures, is what sets RMZ apart.”
With its significant investment scale, RMZ is redefining what it means to be a privately held, influential investment firm.
“We are shaping the future of alternative investments—not just for today but for the next century,” said Manoj Menda.
