New Delhi: As India marks a decade of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, will host the Convocation Ceremony of the sixth batch of its Post Graduate Insolvency Programme (PGIP) and a high-level national conference on June 13 at the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya Auditorium in New Delhi.
Organised in partnership with the Association of Insolvency Professional Entities (AIPE), the event will bring together policymakers, regulators, judicial authorities, insolvency professionals, bankers, industry leaders, academicians and researchers to review the transformational impact of the IBC and discuss the future of India’s restructuring framework.
A key attraction of the event will be the convocation of the sixth batch of PGIP, IICA’s flagship programme aimed at creating a skilled pool of insolvency professionals to meet the evolving needs of India’s corporate and financial sectors. Graduating participants will receive certificates recognising their successful completion of the programme and their contribution to strengthening the insolvency ecosystem.
Minister of State for Corporate Affairs Harsh Malhotra will attend the convocation as Chief Guest. Justice Ashok Bhushan, Chairperson of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), will deliver the Convocation Address, while Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal, President of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), will be the Guest of Honour. Senior government officials, including Ministry of Corporate Affairs Secretary Deepti Gaur Mukerjee and IICA Director General and CEO Gyaneshwar Kumar Singh, will also address the gathering.
Following the convocation, IICA and AIPE will host the national conference titled “Redefining India’s Restructuring Ecosystem: A Decade of Learning – Directions for the Future.” The conference will examine the achievements of the IBC over the past ten years and explore reforms required to strengthen India’s insolvency and restructuring architecture.
The discussions will focus on cross-border insolvency frameworks, early-stage resolution mechanisms, distressed asset markets, institutional capital, and the role of technology and innovation in building a future-ready insolvency ecosystem.
Over the last decade, the IBC has reshaped India’s corporate distress resolution process by introducing a transparent, time-bound and market-driven framework that has strengthened credit discipline, improved investor confidence and enhanced the ease of doing business.
With participation expected from key stakeholders across government, regulatory bodies, financial institutions, insolvency agencies, legal firms and academia, the conference is set to serve as a major platform for shaping the next phase of insolvency reforms in line with India’s vision of Viksit Bharat.
