Siemens, Genovate etc. The duration of course is 25 days and course fee is about 3.5 lakhs. Besides this course you may also consider for joining School of Investment Banking at Mumbai/ Delhi for career in Investment banking, Equity research, merchant banking etc. This is also short term course and fee is around 2 lakhs.
