IIT Delhi Launches Three Industry-Centric Certificate Programmes in Finance, Supply Chain, and Semiconductor Technology

The team included the Chief Financial Officer Programme, the Executive Management Programme in Supply Chain and Operations Analytics, and the Executive Programme in Semiconductor Manufacturing and Technology.

These industry-focused programmes aim to bridge critical skill gaps and enable professionals to excel in their respective fields, fostering India's leadership in the global marketplace.

According to PwC, 77% of companies are prioritizing supply chain agility and resilience in response to disruptions, while EY highlights the growing expectation for CFOs to lead digital transformation and drive business value.

Additionally, the Indian Semiconductor Mission, backed by a $10 billion investment from the government, underscores the critical role of semiconductor manufacturing in India's economic growth. These trends signal an urgent need for advanced upskilling to meet evolving market demands.

The Chief Financial Officer Programme (led by Professor Shveta Singh, PFS Chair Professor and Chair of Finance At The Department Of Management Studies, IIT Delhi) prepares finance professionals for strategic leadership roles, focusing on financial strategy, risk management, and digital integration. Participants will be exposed to hands-on projects and develop expertise in simulations and data analytics tools to drive informed decision-making in dynamic business environments.

The Executive Management Programme in Supply Chain and Operations Analytics (led by Professor Dr Gourav Dwivedi, Programme Coordinator and Assistant Professor, Department Of Management Studies, IIT Delhi) is a specialized course that combines academic excellence with practical industry insights to prepare participants for the challenges of modern supply chain management. Tailored for professionals and aspiring individuals, the program offers cutting-edge tools, data-driven approaches, and strategic frameworks to excel in the dynamic global supply chain landscape. "This program bridges the gap between theory and practice, equipping participants with the analytical skills and strategic knowledge needed to solve real-world supply chain complexities," says Professor Gourav Dwivedi.

The Executive Programme in Semiconductor Manufacturing and Technology (led by Professor Awanish Pandey, Programme Coordinator and Assistant Professor, Optics and Photonics Centre, IIT Delhi) equips participants with essential skills in semiconductor fabrication and process technology. With the global semiconductor market projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, this programme positions learners to contribute to India's growing semiconductor ecosystem.

The programmes will be conducted through live, interactive online sessions in a Direct-to-Device (D2D) format, incorporating industry-relevant case studies and assignments. IIT Delhi has collaborated with TeamLease EdTech as its technology partner to ensure seamless delivery of these courses. Additionally, participants of the Chief Financial Officer Programme and the Executive Programme in Semiconductor Manufacturing and Technology will enjoy a unique opportunity for a two-day campus immersion at IIT Delhi, allowing them to engage directly with the institution's distinguished academic and research ecosystem.
