CONCEPT: In India, Insolvency and Bankruptcy as an area of academic research, has gained prominence in the last few years. The enactment of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2016 (IBC) and the subsequent establishment of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) triggered a host of initiatives and objec- tives. The primary objectives being, revival and resolution of a business as a going concern; maximisation of value of assets of the Corporate Debtor; and promoting entrepreneurship, availability of credit and balancing the interests of stakehold- ers. AIM OF THE SECOND WORKSHOP: The main aim of the second workshop is to understand and study Insolvency Professionals within the insolvency eco-sys- tem. Insolvency profession is the fulcrum of the insolvency and bankruptcy process. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC 2016) and the IBBI regulations provides legal and adminis- trative mechanisms for the working and conduct of insolvency. The broad topics of coverage: • IBC, role and responsibilities of Insolvency Professionals • Insolvency Professionals and Committee of Creditors • Insolvency Professionals, Code of Conduct, and Discipline • Insolvency Professionals and Courts • Insolvency Professionals and Continuing Training • Firm Revival and Insolvency Professionals • Resolution experience and Insolvency Professionals • Insolvency Professional Associations • IBC reforms and Insolvency Professionals These are just tentative list. Topics that have any linkage with Insolvency Professionals will be considered for review.
The purpose of the interdisciplinary workshop is to cross pollinate ideas across disciplines covering (not limited to) finance, law, economics, behavioural science, sociology, and management. We expect theoretical, empirical, quantitative, and practice-based papers. PARTICIPANTS: Faculty, practitioners, full time researchers, PhD and Post-Doc- toral scholars CALL FOR PAPERS: Around fifteen to twenty papers will be accepted for the workshop. We plan to give enough time for presenters to comprehensively discuss their papers. The faculty team at IIMA will screen and select papers. The final paper should be – (1) a full draft paper/working paper or (2) a paper which is currently under review in a journal.
