The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program offers a pathway for those looking to pursue a career in the investment and wealth management field. The CFA designation is an internationally-recognized certification that demonstrates an individual's competence in the field.

Over the years, the CFA Program has gained immense popularity in India, with the number of registered candidates increasing by 30% annually in the last seven years. India is now the third-largest market for CFA after China and the US, introducing intense competition among candidates in terms of exam clearing and securing a job. While the number of job seekers in the industry has risen, the growth of finance companies in India is still in its early stages.
