October 27, 2026 /Posted byPrajwal EW / 0

Simandhar Education Services Private Limited has partnered with Imperial School of Banking and Management, Pune, to integrate preparation for the US Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualification with the latter’s Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programme.

The three-year, renewable memorandum of understanding (MoU) will provide interested students with access to US CPA training, learning resources, examination guidance and career support alongside their management studies.

Simandhar Education will offer classroom-based, hybrid or face-to-face training, depending on the student cohort. The first batch will follow a classroom-based format. Students will receive two years of access to Simandhar’s learning management system, test bank and Becker Professional Education’s learning resources.

The programme will also guide students through credential evaluation, eligibility requirements and examination applications. Those who complete all four sections of the US CPA examination will receive support with internship exposure, resume preparation, interview readiness and placement assistance. The partnership may also introduce supplementary learning in areas such as AI for Finance, subject to programme requirements.

Sripal Jain, co-founder of Simandhar Education, said integrating professional qualifications with management education would help students develop specialised technical knowledge and prepare for evolving finance roles.

Surya Prakash, chairman, and Dr Anuja Ashtewale, director, Imperial School of Banking and Management, said the initiative would allow students to build expertise in accounting, auditing and financial reporting alongside their management capabilities.

The partnership comes amid growing demand for finance and business operations professionals in Global Capability Centres (GCCs). According to Quess Corp’s India’s GCC Non-Tech Talent Landscape 2026 report, demand for non-technology roles in GCCs reached 339,200 in 2025, registering 49.2 per cent year-on-year growth. Finance, sales operations and business operations accounted for more than 60 per cent of this demand.

“Most schools never consciously chose their basic unit. They inherited one from the past: the class. With the class as the focus, the things that happen between people get squeezed out: the apprentice learning alongside someone skilled, the child taught where they are rather than where the class is, and the daily practice of getting along with people they did not choose. The most promising new schools are organising themselves around the individual child rather than the class. A better approach is to group children by readiness in each subject and change those groups as they progress. Communication, collaboration and handling disagreement need daily practice. In a school built around individual progress, teachers get time back to observe, diagnose, mentor and step in where they are most needed. Most teachers entered the profession to make a difference to children. Many spend their careers managing classes instead. The best new schools offer them a system that finally lets them do the work they signed up for.”

“Prevention begins with understanding young people, their struggles and the environments in which they grow up. A sense of belonging, nurturing relationships and meaningful social interactions can play a crucial role in protecting adolescents from substance abuse. When young people feel connected to their families, schools and communities, they are more likely to develop healthy coping mechanisms, make informed choices and seek help when needed. Parents, teachers and community leaders must work together to create supportive spaces where adolescents feel heard, valued and understood. Schools must go beyond academic achievement to foster inclusion, emotional wellbeing and genuine relationships. Ultimately, preventing substance abuse requires looking beyond individual behaviour and recognising the influence of the relationships and communities that shape young lives.”
