SP Jain Global Signs MoU with FPSB India for MFWM Program

SP Jain School of Global Management has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) India, earning the prestigious Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) accreditation for its new Master’s in Applied Finance & Wealth Management (MFWM) program ahead of its launch.

The CFP® certification is internationally recognised as the gold standard in financial planning. This accreditation confirms that SP Jain Global’s MFWM program meets FPSB India’s rigorous academic, ethical, and industry-aligned requirements.

The signing ceremony was held at SP Jain Global’s Mumbai campus in the presence of Krishan Mishra (CEO, FPSB India), Teena Rawal (Head of Business Development, FPSB India), and senior SP Jain Global leaders, including Ram Kartha (CEO & Head of Campus) and Dr. Arindam Banerjee (Professor of Finance and Program Director, MFWM) and Saurabh Saraswat (Deputy Director, MFWM).

“We’re proud and excited to partner with FPSB India,” said Dr. Banerjee. “This MoU is more than a formal agreement; it reflects our shared commitment to shaping future-ready financial leaders. By embedding global CFP® standards into our curriculum from day one, we’re ensuring our students gain both academic rigour and a direct pathway to professional certification. It also opens doors for deeper industry engagement, knowledge sharing, and the kind of ethical foundation that defines world-class professionals.”

The partnership goes beyond accreditation. Under the MoU, SP Jain Global and FPSB India will collaborate on research, industry seminars, guest lectures, and continuing education initiatives for professionals, keeping faculty and students closely connected to the evolving demands of the financial services sector.

“In an increasingly challenging and complex financial landscape, equipping the next generation with globally benchmarked skills is critical to India’s growth story,” said Krishan Mishra, CEO, FPSB India. “We are delighted to welcome SP Jain Global to FPSB India’s global network. This collaboration is a significant step towards our vision of contributing to Viksit Bharat by raising the quality of financial education, enhancing employability, and strengthening public trust in the profession of financial planning. By combining SP Jain Global’s academic excellence with FPSB India’s global standards, we aim to equip India’s youth with world-class skills in financial planning, empowering them to serve both domestic and international markets with integrity and competence.”

Students graduating with the CFP® credential alongside their MFWM degree will be equipped with a globally recognised CFP® certification that enhances their employability in India and internationally. For SP Jain Global, the partnership strengthens its curriculum, expands industry ties, and reinforces its positioning as a future-ready business school.
