Supported By: Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India

Concept:

In India, Insolvency and Bankruptcy as an area of academic research, has gained prominence in the last few years. The enactment of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2016 (IBC) and the subsequent establishment of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) triggered a host of initiatives and objectives. The primary objectives being, revival and resolution of a business as a going concern; maximisation of value of assets of the Corporate Debtor; and promoting entrepreneurship, availability of credit and balancing the interests of stakeholders.

The proposed two-day workshop at IIMA is aimed to academically explore and study the Indian insolvency ecosystem and its interaction with stakeholders, including international comparison. The aim is to fundamentally understand the causes and reasons of business failure, mitigation measures towards revival of business as a going concern and provide research-based suggestion for public policy decision making. The objective of the workshop is to develop good research culture to support these goals.

Aim of the Second Workshop:

The main aim of the second workshop is to understand and study Insolvency Professionals within the insolvency eco-system. Insolvency profession is the fulcrum of the insolvency and bankruptcy process. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC 2016) and the IBBI regulations provides legal and administrative mechanisms for the working and conduct of insolvency.

The broad topics of coverage:

IBC, role and responsibilities of Insolvency Professionals
Insolvency Professionals and Committee of Creditors
Insolvency Professionals, Code of Conduct, and Discipline

These are just tentative list. Topics that have any linkage with Insolvency Professionals will e considered for review.

The purpose of the interdisciplinary workshop is to cross pollinate ideas across disciplines covering (not limited to) finance, law, economics, behavioural science, sociology, and management. We expect theoretical, empirical, quantitative, and practice-based papers.
