About the session
CAPXCHANGE 2026 is a two-day finance conclave hosted by Regional College of Management (RCM), Bhubaneswar, and this video brings independent media coverage of the event. In it, RCM's Additional Director, a senior member of the Finance department and a participating student explain why the programme is built around experiential learning rather than lecture-based theory. The coverage shows how financial modelling, artificial intelligence, FinTech and ESG themes are tied together through direct industry interaction to prepare finance students for real business environments, and why RCM treats the conclave as a working extension of the classroom rather than a one-off showcase.
The coverage features Dr. Shradha Padhi, Additional Director at RCM, and Professor Satyanath Mahapatra from the Department of Finance, explaining the thinking behind CAPXCHANGE 2026, alongside finance student Sagar Kumar Sethi describing what the programme means for his own preparation. Together, their comments frame the conclave less as an event schedule and more as an approach to teaching finance through practice

Voices from the video
Dr. Shraddha Padhi
Additional Director, Regional College of Management
Dr. Shradha Padhi is the Additional Director of Regional College of Management, Bhubaneswar, and one of the voices shaping CAPXCHANGE’s move toward experiential finance learning. In the coverage, she sets out the conclave’s underlying thinking: exposing students to national and international financial leaders, encouraging collaboration across universities, and using competitions to turn methodology and data modelling into applied skill rather than exam-only knowledge.
“For a long time, finance was considered a monotonous and theoretical subject. Therefore, we also want to encourage experiential learning.”
Themes to Programmes
What the Video Highlights
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
Learning Through Financial Modelling
Professor Mahapatra points to the conclave's Financial Modelling Competition as central to this approach. Students work with realistic, real-world data and tools such as Power BI to build financial models — practice he says books or the internet alone cannot substitute for.
02
AI, FinTech and ESG
An accompanying Innovative Poster Making and Presentation Competition asks students to explore FinTech, AI, ESG and sustainable business through their own ideas. These themes also run through the conclave's panel discussions, which cover artificial intelligence, ESG and sustainable business practices, and wealth management.
03
Industry Interaction
Executives from firms including JLL, EY, HSBC and Deloitte take part in panel discussions and masterclasses across the two days. Professor Mahapatra frames this interaction as the point where academic knowledge meets current market practice, giving students direct exposure to how these ideas are actually applied. Rather than a single guest lecture, the format spreads this exposure across two structured panels and multiple masterclass sessions, so students hear more than one professional's take on each theme.
From Classroom Learning to Industry Readiness
Finance student Sagar Kumar Sethi describes CAPXCHANGE as a chance to learn directly from the industry leaders taking part in the programme. He points to the Financial Modelling and Poster Making competitions as the activities that have contributed most to his own sense of industry readiness, alongside the knowledge-sharing that comes from interacting with professionals outside the classroom.
Why the Video Matters
For prospective students, this coverage offers a more concrete picture of what an RCM finance conclave involves than an event listing alone can. It shows how classroom knowledge is tested through competitions, discussed with industry practitioners in panels and masterclasses, and applied to live themes such as AI, FinTech and ESG — rather than left as a one-time lecture.
