Episteme 2026

KPMG in India is knowledge partner for this event.

Episteme, the flagship initiative of the Finance and Investment Cell, SRCC, is recognised as one of India’s prominent undergraduate finance festivals, serving as a national platform for intellectual exchange, competitive learning, and industry engagement. Conceptualised with the aim of bridging academic understanding with real-world financial decision-making, Episteme brings together students from a wide range of premier institutions, including IITs, IIMs, and leading universities across the country.

The festival is structured to reflect the complexities of modern financial ecosystems through a series of rigorous engagements, including case competitions, private equity and venture capital simulations, market strategy challenges, policy discussions, and speaker sessions led by industry practitioners and thought leaders. Participants are provided opportunities to apply analytical frameworks, strategic thinking, and collaborative problem-solving in high-pressure, real-time environments.

More than an event, Episteme represents FIC SRCC’s commitment to experiential learning, with a focus on fostering curiosity, competence, and conviction among the next generation of finance professionals.
