Risks – strategic, operational and regulatory ­– are inherent to any business process and decision. In fact, the role of the Manager is to manage the ‘Risks’ – to take some and move ahead with due caution, and to ensure avoiding some.  A focussed assessment of ‘Risks’, especially the ones with high probability and impact, is essential to enable managers to chalk out the mitigation actions, backed with appropriate resources and prioritization. This is where trained risk professionals can add immense value.

As of now, there are hardly any trained risk professionals in India. The Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) initiative to address this vacuum is a pioneering step and will be of great value to the Indian industry.

Based on the current status and experience, the Indian industry is waiting to welcome professionals with specialised academic qualifications and practical experience to assist the enterprise leadership team in evaluating and mitigating business risks.

The GRMI programme and the curriculum are unique and relevant globally, backed as they are by an experienced faculty combining the best from academia and the corporate world.  It aims to create a platform for formal training and career opportunity with very strong placement potential in a space with near zero supply to infinite demand.
