IBBI, IIM-A invites research papers for international conference on insolvency

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Code / IBC) is a landmark legislation that has had an exceptional journey, reforming and strengthening the insolvency and bankruptcy regime in India. It has created an environment that encourages entrepreneurship and is conducive to appropriate risk taking. There is now a growing body of literature that aims to address the gaps in theoretical aspects of the insolvency law and its practice and impact on the ground. Deep research can bring together evidence to support policy makers in achieving real world outcomes. To promote research and discourse in the field of insolvency and bankruptcy, the two-day international research conference held by IBBI and IIMA, calls upon academics & researchers, lawyers, economists, regulators, to submit research proposals. This conference is an opportunity to understand the importance and impact of IBC in its totality through the multidisciplinary research papers.
Releasing the Brochure of the conference, Sudhaker Shukla, Whole-time Member, IBBI, mentioned that in an ever-changing scenario, evidence-based research plays a crucial role in policy making. The IBBI has been at the forefront of promoting research and discussions on the IBC and its institutions.

Advancing the ongoing efforts, the international research conference organised in collaboration with IIMA which houses unparalleled faculties and scholarships, will attract wide interest from students and experts in the field of insolvency and bankruptcy.
