IIM Kozhikode's new Bloomberg Finance Lab with 12 terminals gives students access to the same data and analytics used by Wall Street professionals, Director Debashis Chatterjee said.
IIM Kozhikode opened a Bloomberg Finance Lab with 12 terminals, the school said Wednesday, giving students access to the same data, analytics and trading tools used by professional investors.
The lab is part of a broader push by the Indian business school to bridge classroom theory with market practice. Students will use the terminals for coursework, research and the Bloomberg Certificate program, which the school said can help graduates transition into the country's financial services workforce.
“As financial markets become increasingly interconnected and data-driven, experiential learning is no longer optional,” IIM Kozhikode Director Debashis Chatterjee said in a statement. “This initiative will equip our students with the analytical capabilities, technological proficiency and global perspective required to thrive in the evolving world of finance and investment.”
The lab reflects a growing emphasis on hands-on financial training at Indian business schools. Bloomberg has deployed similar labs at other institutions in the country, including the Indian School of Business and the SP Jain Institute of Management and Research.
Varun Chojhar, Head of Bloomberg's South Asia business, said the lab reflects the company's long-term commitment to India by “investing in the talent pipeline that will shape the country’s financial future.” James Coyle, Head of Bloomberg for Education, added that the lab includes the full suite of Bloomberg for Education products.
The school has been expanding its infrastructure and curriculum to align with industry demands. The lab adds professional-grade financial tools to the teaching and research environment, IIM Kozhikode said.
