Past Event: Thursday, January 27, 2022

India has not only faced the COVID-19 crisis with great resilience but has also initiated a more broad-based growth recovery amidst the pandemic. The turnaround and revival were made possible due to the numerous initiatives of the government with industries taking the leap of faith. In such crucial times particularly, the CFO plays a vital role in contributing to a company’s financial health and organisational resilience.

Against this background, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), with Grant Thornton Bharat as Technical Partner, is organising the 12th edition of The India Finance Forum (TIFF) virtually with the theme, ‘Beyond Resilience: Turnaround & Transformation” on 27 and 28 January 2022. The forum will bring together some of the best minds of the industry and policy arena in order to exchange information, discuss emerging challenges and strategise for growth and transformation that would allow the industry to not only sustain but also thrive in the new normal.
