our journey

About Us
Since opening our doors in 2003 Finnacle Institute (formerly Finnacle Shah Classes/Laukik Shah Classes) has mentored more than 23,000 finance aspirants. For more than two decades, our classrooms have been the launch pads from where students have stepped straight into India’s capital market ecosystem. What began in 2003 as a single CFA study group has evolved into India's longest running and largest specialist academy for finance and investment careers, with centres across Mumbai & Surat and a rapidly growing Live Online Digital Campus.
A Legacy of Leadership in CFA Training
Our Co-Founder and leading trainer of the CFA segment, Mr. Laukik Shah, is one of the most experienced CFA faculties in India. We have trained more than 215+ batches of CFA, and even at this scale, we have maintained our superior training quality, which can be seen by our students’ consistent exam dominance with a 60–70% aggregate pass rate and with 200+ candidates scoring in the world’s top ten percentile an unmatched record among Indian CFA training institutes.
Revolutionising Finance Education through The Finbridge® & Finplus Programs
We are one of the rare institutes that has been able to create long term professional core finance programs for students right after 12th, undergraduates, and working professionals focused on the core finance and investment industry. Under both the programs, clearing graduates are awarded the prestigious FinExpert (FE) credential. Today, these programs are seen as a benchmark of quality at the analyst & associate level in core finance industries like Portfolio Management, Equity Research, Institutional Equities, Family Offices, Private Equity, and Investment Banking. Today, Finbridge and Finplus Program alumni drive deals, research, and portfolio allocations at some of the leading finance firms in India, and many have grown to become Assistant Vice Presidents, Assistant Fund Managers, and Senior Associates in their organisations.
Society Initiatives
We have always tried to give back to society through our scholarship initiatives.
In our proprietary programs, we run multiple scholarships to help academically bright students who are struggling due to monetary issues. We have also launched India's first National Finance Scholarship Test to further deepen our scholarship initiatives at the Pan India level.
