Elevator Pitch

Product Description

ICFM (Institute of Career in Financial Market), operated by CareerPro Ventures Ltd., provides India’s only practice-first, “learn-by-doing” training ecosystem in stock market and financial market education. Our core service offering includes structured, in-classroom programs that combine theoretical understanding with real-time trading practice on a live trading floor. This unique hands-on model helps students build confidence, discipline, and practical skill before risking their own capital in the market. We offer a range of short-term and long-term courses covering equities, derivatives, technical and fundamental analysis, mutual funds, and personal finance. The curriculum is designed for beginners as well as intermediate learners — including college students, job seekers, working professionals, and aspiring full-time traders. Beyond classroom training, we provide trading simulation labs, mentorship programs with experienced traders, and guided investment research practices to give a real feel of financial market operations. We also assist with career placements in brokerage houses and financial advisory firms. To scale our model, ICFM has launched a franchise network, enabling local entrepreneurs and educators to run ICFM-branded centers with our curriculum, systems, and support. We provide end-to-end setup guidance, marketing help, academic training, and operational SOPs to each franchise. Our services are NSDC-aligned and recognized by the BFSI Sector Skill Council.

Business Model

CareerPro Ventures Ltd., operating under the brand ICFM (Institute of Career in Financial Market), generates revenue through multiple channels. Our core income comes from student fees, charged for our practical, skill-based stock market training programs. These programs are priced between ₹30,000 to ₹60,000 depending on duration and depth. Courses include live trading floor practice, mentorship, and structured curriculum in equity, derivatives, and technical/fundamental analysis. In addition to B2C training, we operate a franchise model, where we charge a franchise setup fee from new partners along with an ongoing royalty on revenue generated at each center. This has become a high-margin, recurring revenue stream. We provide complete training, academic systems, branding, and operational support to franchisees. We also monetize through value-added services such as: NISM/SEBI-aligned certifications Trading internships and real-world simulations Advanced masterclasses and alumni mentorship programs Our revenue model is scalable and diversified — combining high-margin education services with predictable B2B franchise cash flows. As our network of centers grows, the franchise revenue will scale significantly while keeping operational costs lean at HQ level.
