Department of Commerce, University of Delhi, formally set up as independent entity in 1967, has imbibed the Delhi School of Economics tradition of exploring new frontiers of knowledge and innovation in academics. In its history spanning over three decades, it has redefined Commerce education in the country. The Department has the legitimate claim and pride of being the premier department in India for course curriculum development, teaching and research in Commerce discipline. The rapid growth of the Department of Commerce is reflected in its expansion as well as novelty in its academic programmes. In addition to the traditional M. Phil., Ph.D., and flagship M.Com. Programme, it offers two master degree level professional programmes - MBA (IB) & MBA (HRD).
Financial Markets have become integral to the survival, strength and sustainability of economic well-being of a nation. Financial Deepening and Innovation have become the precursors of a strong and viable economic structure. Digitisation of the financial system and its components has certainly led to widening its scope and accessibility and has also contributed to further challenges of risk and reliability. Over the past few years, the Indian financial ecosystem is witnessing a trial of perception and trust. Adding to the woes of this system, the global disruption in the garb of COVID-19 has brought all the banks, NBFCs and debt capital markets under pressure of sustenance vs. performance.
The financial landscape has reformed and broadened in terms of scope and prospects with the advent of Decentralised Finance (DeFi) which aims to dis-intermediate traditional financial institutions using blockchains and cryptocurrencies. Blockchains are used in DeFi to create ‘smart contracts’, which are automated, enforceable agreements that don’t need intermediaries such as banks. Nevertheless, DeFi is still nascent, freewheeling and largely unregulated. The pertinent question to ask is if such new financial novelties abide by or go against the principles of sustainable Finance? Is there a way to ensure that these self-driving banks empower individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses with the tools they need to create a level-playing field and to participate in the value they create?
Stock markets, which are the life-lines of the financial and economic structure of any economy, are baffled by high volatilities of foreign investors; real estate upheavals and increasing gold demand trends, especially during pandemic. Indian stock market Sensex is reaching new heights. A deeper understanding of contemporary and historical events are hinting at a stock market bubble. With unchecked animal spirits and historic valuations, what are the key lessons for an investor?
Correspondingly, the nexus between finance, technology and sustainability has gained phenomenal thrust since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and has urged all the countries to re-work the traditionally deployed models by integrating the FinTech revolution to bridge the digital divide, and promote equitable and broad-based customer participation. The rapid and transformational changes brought on by FinTech need to be monitored and evaluated so that the regulators and society can keep up with the underlying technological and entrepreneurial flux.
The spectrum of Banking services and activities has widened and needs to be understood in terms of its business, risk and performance. Similarly, the monetary management has become increasingly challenging with the advent of virtual currencies and digital transformation. It has proven to be a rough path, with constantly evolving demands of the modern consumer and increasing disruption from rapidly emerging financial technologies, traditional banks are under more pressure than ever to adapt and innovate. Banks have to reinvent and veer away from their old approach; invest in these disruptive technologies along with drafting better dimensions and solutions to the age-old problems of growing NPAs; and adverse selection and moral hazard.
The UN System’s 2020 Financing for Sustainable Development Report considers mobilizing financing as a key player in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Building an enabling business environment and inclusive financial landscape represent solid foundations supporting the financing strategies needed to achieve the SDGs.
Aforementioned developments and upcoming disruptive technologies have exacerbated the pre-existing fault lines and may have caused the emergence of new ones. As we look into the future, economies, financial institutions and businesses world over, do see a changing ecosystem. They need to rethink their crisis response to be able to turn any disruption to their advantage. Putting people and the planet back at the heart of our economic, financial and business models, thus, provides a unique prospect towards the post-pandemic reconstruction.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, in association with Department of Commerce, University of Delhi, organized 6 th Biennial International Conference on March 10 and 11, 2022 in hybrid mode. The conference themed ‘Financial Ecosystem: Disruptions and the Way Forward’ saw the participation of distinguished academicians, scholars, researchers and experts from across the world. Prof. Kawal Gill, Conference Coordinator in her inaugural note delineated how disruptive innovations like Financial Technology (FinTech) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are revolutionizing the global financial landscape forcing the traditional firms to review their outdated paradigms.
Prof. Nirvikar Singh, Distinguished Professor of Economics, University of California in his plenary address lauded the promise of financial inclusion that FinTech holds out, yet he cautioned about the concomitant threat of illegal transactions and monetary instability. Ms. Anita Patnaik, General Manager, Department of Payments & Settlement Systems (DPSS), Reserve Bank of India, explained how digital disruption has helped to iron out information asymmetry ensuring greater transparency and personalized user-interface.
The principal of the college, Dr Jatinder Bir Singh, extended gratitude to the participants and asserted that humans have the capability to adapt to technology but it is important to put it to efficient use. Prof. Amit Kumar Singh, Conference Coordinator & Professor, Department of Commerce, University of Delhi hailed the institutional collaboration between university and the college for the insightful conference.
Prof. R. K. Singh, Head and Dean, Department of Commerce, University of Delhi in his opening remarks suggested that if this new ecosystem leads to better digital inclusivity, it also widens the digital divide. Prof. Singh pointed out the devastating possibilities of our over-dependence on technological disruptions as it increases our vulnerability rather than efficiency. Prof. Manmohan Lal Agarwal, Adjunct Senior Fellow in Research and Information Systems in Developing Countries, the keynote speaker of the event, discussed how international and domestic financial systems have evolved over last few decades. The chief guest for the conference, Prof. Furqan Qamar, Professor of Management, Centre for Management Studies, JMI, enunciated that it is human to find certainty in a chaotic world, hence we constantly disrupt.
After the inaugural session, eight parallel plenary sessions- spread across two days- witnessed presentation of over forty research papers by scholars. The sessions explored the multi-disciplinary dimensions of Banking & NBF; The Financial Technology (FinTech) Revolution; Decentralised Finance (DeFi) And Virtual Currency; The Stock Market Basics; Sustainable Finance; The Stock Market Bubble; and Pandemic and Economic Recovery. Each session was chaired by eminent scholars and esteemed faculty members of universities from across the country and abroad.
