Chaturvedi, Director, IIT Roorkee

The programme will cover industry immersion classes by top business leaders to give an in-depth understanding of the role of AI in Banking and financial domains. It will offer a joint certification from WileyNXT and IIT-Roorkee.

Vikas Gupta, Managing Director, Wiley India, while commenting on the collaboration said, “WileyNXT is committed to bridging an industry-wide skill gap. There is a tremendous emphasis on automation to accelerate the development and deployment of products in the Banking and Finance sector. This has fuelled the demand for a digitally-enabled workforce. Our innovative learning solutions are meant to cater to modern workplace demands. WileyNXT provides a platform for individuals to enhance the academic and professional impact of their career.”

It has been observed that about 32% of financial service providers in India are already using AI technologies like predictive analytics, voice recognition et al, according to joint research conducted by the National Business Research Institute and Narrative Science. Some of the leading banks like SBI, HDFC, ICICI, among others have adopted Artificial Intelligence in their system.

The present global pandemic has seen a movement towards digital and virtual platforms and even the banking sector is shifting towards contactless banking. It will encompass the processes such as digital onboarding of customers enabled by video KYC (know-your-customer), contactless authentication and payments, virtual customer servicing, and immersive banking experience. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be highly used to develop interactive banking-customer experience. This is an opportunity for professionals and graduates who want to equip themselves with trending skills and have a competitive edge over their peers.
