Why The Digital Fifth ?


Our Master Classes and Certification Programs are eminent in the BFSI industry. We have witnessed first-time entrepreneurs emerging from our alumni batches and have seen founders reform their business models after attending our sessions on Digital Lending, Open Banking, Digital Banking, Digital Payments, Embedded Finance and more. Professionals have also attended multiple programs to maximize their learnings.

The demands inherent to the digitisation of businesses are pressuring traditional players without exception. ‘Disrupt or Die’ is the new mantra, and today, many Banks and NBFCs are also entering the era of Digital Transformation. In order to implement this, there must be a drastic shift in the mindset of doing business and a new skill set must be adopted. Upon this transformation, various roles will be impacted globally. As per our estimation, 20,000+ digital professionals will be required in the financial industry in the next 2 years in India.

The Digital Fifth is focused on getting participants ‘industry ready’, and we do not believe in any theoretical jargon. The program is experience and case-study led, with the lead trainers consulting BFSI & Fintech entities. They bring their understanding from their assignments into the training program so participants have an on-the-ground perspective.
