Mumbai – SP Jain School of Global Management, with campuses in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, stands at the forefront of global business education, blending academic excellence with immersive international experience.
SP Jain School of Global Management Singapore has announced an institutional partnership with Imarticus School of Finance and Business (ISFB) by Imarticus Learning, India’s first industry-integrated school dedicated to shaping future-ready finance and business professionals. Through this collaboration, ISFB undergraduate students will have the opportunity to spend one academic week at SP Jain’s Singapore campus, with all coursework completed during the term fully credited toward their ISFB course.
This development comes at a time when international exposure is becoming a more integrated part of finance education in India. According to data shared in Parliament by the Ministry of External Affairs, more than 1.8 million Indian students are studying abroad in 2025, compared to 1.3 million in 2023. A January 2025 Redseer report notes that an increasing share of students are considering Asian destinations for business and finance education, citing accessibility, proximity, and relevance to emerging financial hubs.
Singapore continues to hold academic and industry significance for students of finance. It ranked first in Asia in the 2024 IMD World Competitiveness Index, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore reports that the city-state is home to more than 200 global financial institutions. Exposure to such an environment gives students insight into regulatory systems, cross-border transactions, and global financial flows.
Industry hiring trends echo this shift. A joint 2025 workforce analysis by FICCI and NASSCOM estimates that India’s banking, financial services, and fintech ecosystem will require over 1.6 million additional skilled professionals by 2030, particularly in global finance, risk, compliance, and data-led decision-making roles. The report notes that graduates with structured international learning tend to adapt more effectively to these roles.
Speaking about the partnership, Joy Parekh, CEO of ISFB, said: “This gives students the opportunity to study in a global financial hub while continuing their course without interruption. It is a structured academic week with certificate recognition, academic continuity, and exposure to financial systems beyond the domestic context.”
Rashmi Udaykumar, CEO & Head of Campus (Singapore), SP Jain School of Global Management, added: “Our Singapore campus brings students into direct contact with a diverse business environment and a mature financial system. We look forward to welcoming ISFB students and supporting their immersion program in Singapore, which is thoughtfully curated to add significant value to their learning journey and strengthen their academic progression.
The first student group is expected to begin their Singapore term during their second academic year. All students are eligible to participate in the immersion, and they will receive academic guidance ahead of the immersion.
