Global Centre for
Enterprise Risk Management

Global Centre for Enterprise Risk Management, licensed to Mahindra University by the IRM India Affiliate (world’s leading certifying body for ERM across 140+ countries), is an ecosystem that brings together a dynamic digital knowledge hub, a structured and evolving risk taxonomy, and a carefully built library designed to spark inquiry and exploration. This ecosystem blends academic depth with practical relevance, preparing future leaders with the enterprise risk competencies needed in an ever-changing world. More than a physical facility, the Centre functions as a connected community. It includes dedicated spaces for discussion, networking, and collaboration, enabling students, faculty, and industry experts to engage meaningfully. A Hall of Fame honouring global pioneers in resilience further reinforces our commitment to thought leadership and a people-centric learning culture. By nurturing dialogue and peer learning, the Centre aims to develop leaders who approach risk with clarity, confidence, and responsibility.

At its core, the Centre is a place where theory meets application. It serves as a hub for advanced education, research, and hands-on engagement in risk management. For our students and the wider community, it offers the opportunity to build skills that are now fundamental to resilient decision-making and sustainable progress in today’s complex global landscape.

For students, it provides early exposure to the realities of uncertainty, complexity, and interconnected risk, bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world decision-making. By engaging with structured frameworks, evolving taxonomies, and live industry perspectives, learners develop judgement, foresight, and accountability- skills that employers increasingly view as non-negotiable.

For faculty, professionals, and the wider community, the Centre offers a shared platform for dialogue, research, and applied learning. It enables continuous upskilling, cross-sector collaboration, and the exchange of global best practices in enterprise risk management. In an environment defined by disruption- technological, regulatory, economic, and societal-the Centre equips stakeholders to anticipate challenges, respond with confidence, and make decisions that are resilient, ethical, and sustainable. Ultimately, it cultivates a mindset where risk is understood not as a constraint, but as a strategic lens for long-term value creation.

Risk is often mistaken for just an audit function, but the two operate on entirely different planes. Time and again, corporate crises and business failures have shown that risk cannot be sidelined. It must be viewed across the entire organisation, strategically, operationally, culturally, and not merely through the lens of finance or insurance.

A modern Chief Risk Officer is far more than a compliance guardian. They must understand everything from supply chain vulnerabilities to workforce dynamics; manage relationships with insurers, legal partners, and industry networks; communicate calmly and clearly during crises; and interpret financial information with an eye on everyday operational risks. Their role is ultimately about strengthening resilience, preparing the organisation not just to respond, but to recover and move forward stronger.

Global Centre for Enterprise Risk Management, established by Mahindra University in partnership with the IRM India Affiliate is not just establishing a Centre it is creating an ecosystem. One that brings together a dynamic digital knowledge hub, a structured and evolving risk taxonomy, and a carefully built library designed to spark inquiry and exploration. This ecosystem blends academic depth with practical relevance, preparing future leaders with the enterprise risk competencies needed in an ever-changing world. More than a physical facility, the Centre functions as a connected community.
