Voices from the video
Dr. Shraddha Padhi
Additional Director, Regional College of Management
Dr. Padhi speaks for RCM on why the college is introducing experiential learning. She lists three objectives: inviting national and international leaders to explain changes in the financial environment, encouraging collaboration with students from other universities, and giving students a platform to apply new methodologies and data-modelling techniques in competitions.
“We want to encourage experiential learning so that students can learn beyond textbooks.”
“When students join a company, they can add real value to the organization.”
Sagar Kumar Sethi
Finance student, Regional College of Management
Mona represents the student perspective. She explains that CAPXCHANGE is organised by the college in collaboration with FinControl, that industry leaders are sharing their knowledge with students, and that the programme includes financial modelling and poster-making competitions.
“Through this program, we are learning how to become more industry-ready.”
Themes to Programmes
Why this matters for students
Finance students rarely get to work with realistic data, present ideas to professionals or hear directly from industry practitioners in one setting. CAPXCHANGE brings these together, so classroom concepts in financial modelling, data interpretation, FinTech and sustainable finance can be applied and discussed.
Students interested in these areas can explore the RCM PGDM+ programme, including PGDM+ Green Finance & ESG (FinTech) and PGDM+ Data Science & Business Intelligence, or the RCM MBA+ programme for finance, leadership and strategy.
01
Changing Financial & Business Landscape
Business and financial environments are changing quickly, and CAPXCHANGE 2026 is built to help students track those shifts through direct interaction with industry leaders.
02
From Theory to Experiential Learning
RCM is shifting finance education from theory toward experiential learning — putting students, faculty and industry leaders in the same room.
03
Real-World Financial Modelling
A Financial Modelling Competition uses real-world data, including sources like RBI and Power BI, so students build futuristic models rather than textbook exercises.
04
Practical AI & Machine Learning Exposure
AI and machine learning have reshaped the business world, and the conclave gives students structured, practical exposure to both.
05
FinTech, ESG & Sustainable Business
FinTech, ESG and sustainable business form a dedicated poster and presentation competition, alongside panel discussions and industry masterclasses.
