Mumbai was at the center of two impactful GARP events earlier this month, bringing together risk professionals to exchange insights, strengthen industry standards, and advance the future of financial risk management.

On May 14, our Mumbai Chapter hosted a timely discussion on the industry’s shift to Expected Credit Loss (ECL) frameworks, exploring implementation challenges, model development considerations, and the evolving data and governance requirements shaping ECL adoption.

A few days later, GARP welcomed FRM item writers in Mumbai for a collaborative event to help ensure our FRM Exams continue to reflect global best practices and the evolving demands faced by financial risk managers around the world.

Thank you to all speakers, contributors, and participants who made these events such a success!
