Finatics Forum is the Finance Students' Forum of the MMS programme at SFIMAR, established with the objective of bridging the gap between academic learning and the dynamic world of finance. The forum serves as a platform that connects students and faculty members with industry professionals from various financial domains, enabling them to gain insights into contemporary financial practices and real-world business scenarios.
The forum actively promotes experiential learning by organizing activities, competitions, seminars, guest lectures, workshops, and industry interactions. One of its flagship initiatives is "Trade Guru – Mock Stock", an intercollegiate and intercollegiate stock market simulation competition that provides participants with hands-on exposure to trading and investment decision-making in a risk-free environment. Such activities help students understand the practical application of financial theories and concepts while enhancing their analytical and decision-making abilities. It also organized an insightful educational tour to the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM). The program, titled "Market Metaverse," was designed to provide students with a holistic view of the financial ecosystem. An enriching session like “Interview Preparation: Building Confidence and Clarity” aimed at equipping you with the skills and confidence needed to excel in interviews.
Through its various initiatives, Finatics Forum continues to foster financial awareness, professional development, and industry engagement among the student fraternity of SFIMAR.
