A Few months ago he was writing code for a fintech product he'd never actually use.
Today he's building AI models inside a bank's credit risk team. Same technical skills. A completely different world.

He didn't switch industries overnight. Didn't take a pay cut. Didn't go back to college.
He spent his weekends differently. That's the only thing that changed.

Three months ago she was a data scientist at a mid size IT firm.
Today she's on a risk analytics desk at a bank. Same Python skills. Completely different salary.

She didn't go back to college. Didn't quit her job. Didn't wait for the right time.
She spent her weekends differently.
That's it.

Sanjay Bhatia, Director of Risk at UBS, is walking through how AI is reshaping risk careers in Indian banking.

One session. Free to attend. Clear direction at the end of it.

Sanjay Bhatia spent 15 years at UBS building risk models.

Not reviewing them. Building them.

And in that time he watched the same pattern repeat across institutions. The model gives a number that is technically correct. But it is completely useless for the decision that needs to happen in the next ten minutes.

That gap between model output and real-world decision-making is what most finance education never addresses.

On Saturday 23 May, he is coming to IIQF to talk about exactly this.
How AI is closing that gap.
What the actual career paths look like.
What firms are hiring for right now.

If you are thinking about risk modelling or AI in finance, this is the session to attend.

Most finance certifications teach you how to talk about models.

IIQF teaches you how to build them.

That is not a dig at CFA or FRM. Those are strong credentials for the right paths.

But if your target is a quant desk or a risk analytics role, the interview question is not "explain Black-Scholes."

It is "extend it. Break it. Show us where it fails on Indian market data."

Most candidates can do the first. Almost none can do the second.

So what changes? Domain knowledge applied hands-on. Not theory. Actual implementation.
That is the gap we built IIQF to close.
