About the Authors
  • Credit risk is the risk resulting from the uncertainty that a borrower or a group of borrowers may be unwilling or unable to meet their contractual obligations as per the agreed terms. It is the largest element of risk faced by most banks and financial institutions. Potential losses due to high credit risk can threaten a bank's solvency. After the global financial crisis of 2008, the importance of adopting prudent risk management practices has increased manifold. This book attempts to demystify various standard mathematical and statistical techniques that can be applied to measuring and managing portfolio credit risk in the emerging market in India. It also provides deep insights into various nuances of credit risk management practices derived from the best practices adopted globally, with case studies and data from Indian banks.

    • Discusses various mathematical formulations and statistical techniques in measuring credit risk
    • Covers various approaches adopted by the best banks
    • Uses real-life bank data and cases to explain major credit risk drivers

    I am honoured to be one of the few lucky ones who got a chance to be taught by him and even being mentored by him for my banking project. The lucidity and structure of the book are what attracts me to this text time and time again. The complexity of regulatory texts can be daunting for someone who is just stepping into the field of risk management, but this book makes that jump exponentially easier. Specifically, in the Indian banking context, the book is easily my top recommendation. A very specific thing, which I notice in books, is how well they have introduced the entire gamut of their content in the first couple of chapters. And I am extremely glad to write that Dr Arindam Sir has penned one of the most brilliant, comprehensive and easy-to-digest initial chapters ever. He nicely draws up the frameworks and contours within which the game is played, and then he goes on to colour them up with the remaining chapters. But I find myself coming back to his introduction and the first chapter each time I pick up the book. He often emphasizes in class how risk management is first a science and then an art. However, book writing is definitely an art, and especially for mildly esoteric topics such as Portfolio Credit Risk Management, where satisfactory texts are lacking, the artist's shoulders become even heavier. But he does absolute justice to the art, and his artistry definitely is a blessing for any earnest student or practitioner of the field. In two words, Must Read. Thank you, Dr Arindam Sir, for penning this much-needed book. This will be my companion for years to come, no doubt.

    This book is a wonderful resource for understanding the broader contours of credit scoring. It also provides in-dept discussion on the techniques. It is a significant contribution given there is dearth of public material on credit scoring. Moreover, it is contextualized with respect to Indian banking sector. It is very useful for practitioners and academicians.
