As digital sweeps banking and financial services, the Executive Program of The Digital Fifth helped me set my foot strongly on the ground.
Chief Risk Officer - Equitas Small Finance Bank
Having been a short time entrepreneur myself and coming from an IT - Financial Services background, I couldn't have asked for an Executive Program better than this. Program is so perfectly curated which touches on all contemporary happenings in the BFSI ecosystem. While Sameer & Shashank bring their own decades of financial products building experience, cherry on the top is to hear first-hand experiences from 30+
industry practitioners including notable founders & industry elites. The cohort participants themselves bring huge industry experience and adds to peer learning. I can vouch for that no other Executive Program in the industry today can match up on the practical & relevant content this program offers.

Glad to share that 5 months back got enrolled with The Digital Fifth - Executive Certification in Fintech, Open Banking & Financial Blockchain program. One of the best decisions for sure I made in my life/Career. Never imagined that Sunday Sessions would be so full of learning and positive energies, what initially looked difficult was a pleasure later. Superbly curated Course covering holistically all facets of this dynamically changing Fintech Eco-system. Many Thanks to Sameer Singh Jaini, Shashank Shekhar for creating and passionately delivering it. Live interactions and learnings we had from the Industry Stalwarts/Domain Specialists were an eye-opener, those valuable insightful sessions cannot be superseded by any class room learning program.

I really want to thank entire The Digital Fifth team for conducting this program. Coming from a technical background, I initially found it difficult to relate to the level of content but with some home-work of revising the sessions and a little bit of google work, It helped me come up to a level of understanding. The real value which I found in the program was hearing the experience of pioneers of the market who actually built things from scratch. Also, It was a privilege to learn and work with an extremely knowledgeable set of cohort members from the banking industry on capstone projects. This program has definitely added a huge value to my skill set and market understanding which I look forward to applying in my future roles.

Senior Manager - Chief Control Office - Wholeshale Banking - HSBC
While I have been in the tech sector for sometime, I had been hearing about the buzz on open banking, neo banks , fintechs etc all on LinkedIn, the newspapers and the general media. While I could make some sense of what the buzz was, I could never figure out the ecosystem as a whole. There were always the missing links - that unanswered question that refused to be answered and let me understand the jigsaw puzzle - of an
industry which I was supposed to be knowing it all.We got exposed to industry thought and action leaders, startup founders who shared their experiences, and jargons and terminologies & concepts which intimidated me earlier, didn't sound so scary after all. Asking all those basic questions allowed me to put together the jigsaw puzzle pieces in place.
Co-Founder - XtendValue
The Digital Fifth course on Fintech, blockchain, Open banking and AI brings in glimpses of conceptual learning and delivers it from the industry experts which makes it practical for someone who is willing to walk the path of starting a company. The program is intense and one needs to put in time and effort. The capstone projects are the real learning use case where everyone can test their learning. To sum up, for people in the industry trying to get a bird's eye view of the segment or upscale, this 4 month program is well spent. Best wishes to the incoming batch. Happy learning!
