Finance leaders reimagine Global Investment Future
TDT | Manama
Global finance took on a broader meaning at the 'Investment Reimagined' event hosted by the Bahrain Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on Wednesday, as over 150 finance professionals and industry leaders came together to explore evolving definitions of investment in today's fast-changing world.
Beyond capital
Held at Wyndham Grand, the gathering delved into new-age investment thinking - where value isn't confined to portfolios and assets, but also extends to knowledge, people, and innovation. Speakers challenged conventional models and offered forward-thinking strategies to navigate uncertainty and technological disruption in the global economy.
The event was powered by Care PMS, with distinguished speakers Arpit Shah and Vishal Shah leading the dialogue. Their insights explored how finance professionals must adapt to emerging opportunities by reimagining investment through a more inclusive and strategic lens.
Celebrating potential
A key highlight of the evening was the Award Ceremony recognising high-performing commerce students from schools across Bahrain. ICAI Bahrain Chapter described the gesture as an investment in the Kingdom's intellectual capital, honouring future leaders in the field of finance.
'Recognising young academic talent is as important as market performance,' said an ICAI spokesperson at the event. 'These students represent the future of the finance profession, and we are proud to acknowledge their achievements.'
Support and partnerships
The event was made possible through the continued support of ICAI Bahrain Chapter's annual sponsors, SSPL and Cube Innovators. The organisers also extended gratitude to attendees, speakers, and volunteers for making the event a success.
By blending technical insights with community recognition, the event reaffirmed ICAI Bahrain's role in steering professional conversations while celebrating educational excellence.
