CFO Council Knowledge Series – Webinar on Fund Raising

ASSOCHAM, established in 1920, is one of India’s oldest and leading Chambers of Commerce and Industry, providing a platform for industry–government dialogue, policy advocacy and knowledge exchange. The National Council for CFOs, ASSOCHAM, brings together CFOs and senior finance professionals to deliberate on emerging financial issues and share industry perspectives. As part of its CFO Council Knowledge Series, the Council is organising its inaugural webinar on “Fund Raising”, themed: “From Strategy to Execution – Navigating the Debt Fund Raising Journey.”

 The session will focus on strategic debt fundraising, covering the choice of source, instrument, tenor, structure, currency and risk, while ensuring alignment with business objectives and financial flexibility.

KEY DISCUSSIONS

• Funding strategy and selection of the appropriate financing instrument
• Lender/credit perspective and making the company “fundable”
• Financing structure, pricing and negotiation
• Selection and management of funding partners
• Execution of the financing from term sheet to drawdown
• Post-fund-raising management, including covenants, interest/FX risk, refinancing and preservation of financial flexibility

The knowledge series is designed to be conversation-led and experience-oriented rather than presentation-heavy. The webinar will feature diverse perspectives from the panelists, followed by a moderator-led discussion and an audience question-and-answer session.
