What is Financial Modelling?
Financial Modelling is a tool for investment decision making. It is used in project finance, equity research and investment banking (IPO, M&A). The decision could be whether to invest in a project or a company, or at what value to buy or take over a business. Excel, along with AI tools, is extensively used in the process currently.
It is one of the most frequently tested practical skills in investment banking, equity research, private equity and corporate finance interviews. At Skilledgrad, we teach financial modelling using real listed Indian companies, so you build models that look exactly like what you'd build on day one of a finance job.

Financial Modelling Training for Your Target Role
Every path starts with the 3-Statement Model, which the rest of the course builds on. After that, different modules matter for different roles.
Financial Modelling for Investment Banking
Investment banking analysts value companies for mergers, acquisitions, fundraising and IPOs. Three modules are built for that work.
Financial Modelling for Equity Research
Equity research analysts form a view on a listed stock and defend a price target. Two modules take you through that, ending with a one-page research note on a real NSE or BSE company.
Financial Modelling for Project Finance
Project finance teams at banks, infrastructure funds and advisory firms judge whether a project can raise and repay its debt. The course prepares you for these roles too: the Excel discipline, cash flow logic and valuation thinking it trains are what their interviews test.
Learn by Building, Not Watching
Every session is hands-on. You open Excel and initially work along with the trainer and slowly move to a point where you are asked to take the lead. The idea is that by the end of the course you should be able to build a model confidently.
From Blank Sheet to a Model You Can Defend
Financial Modelling has no exam. You are ready when you can build a model on your own and explain it in an interview.
Build along
Every session is hands-on in Excel, 60 to 70 hours in all. You start by working along with the trainer.
Take the lead
Step by step you take over, until you build each part of the model yourself.
Real companies
Models on NSE and BSE listed companies in aviation, retail and IT, plus one of your choice.
Your own model
You build one model on your own, with faculty input wherever you need it, and finish with a final review by faculty.
Interview simulation
A "walk me through your model" mock interview, using your own models.
Between classes
Study space at both centres, with faculty to help you finish a model of your choice.
They Built These Models for a Living
Both founders bring experience from the investment industry and understand what is required in a finance job. They are actively involved throughout the process.
