Kochi (Kerala) [India], November 29: The Association of International Accountants (AIA), a UK based globally recognized professional body for accountants and finance professionals, today announced its first-ever strategic partnership in India with Finprov Learning – Kochi, a leading edtech company, providing industry-readiness programs in finance and accounting. The collaboration commemorates AIA’s formal entry into the Indian market that was announced earlier this week in Bengaluru, and sets the foundation for long-term cooperation in advancing professional finance education across the country. The partnership was unveiled at a high-profile press conference held at Crowne Plaza, Kochi by Mr David Potts, Director of Policy & Regulation, AIA UK; CA Anand Kumar, Founder & CEO, and Mr S R Nair, Executive Director of Finprov Learning.
- Blends global expertise with deep local industry insight to boost employability, financial fluency & global mobility for finance & commerce professionals
- To collaborate with universities, colleges & corporates to strengthen India’s talent ecosystem & future-ready workforce
Announcing the partnership, David Potts, Director of Policy & Regulation, AIA said, “India is adding more than 1 million employable graduates every year and will contribute nearly a quarter of the world’s incremental workforce by 2030. Our partnership with Finprov Learning is a major milestone in AIA’s global journey with the country being home to one of the world’s most dynamic talent pools. Together, we aim to create pathways that empower professionals with internationally recognised skills in finance and accounts while also retaining strong local relevance.”
With a youth population of over 450 million and more than 50 million students currently in higher education, India produces over 1.5 million commerce graduates every year, and is one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for global finance talent, backed by a demographic and economic advantage that is difficult to match. Demand for globally recognised finance certifications such as CMA (US), CPA, and EA has surged and is further accelerated by the National Education Policy (NEP), which is driving strong B2B adoption among colleges and training providers. As India is projected to contribute 24.3% of the incremental global workforce by 2030, the need for internationally benchmarked, industry-ready finance qualifications has never been more significant.
