Joel Christopher, in collaboration with IIMB faculty members Prof. Sankarshan Basu, Prof. Nitin Vishen, and Prof. Abhinav Anand from the Finance & Accounting area, has won the Best Paper Award (First Prize) in the Financial Markets track at the 7th International Conference on Financial Markets & Corporate Finance (ICFMCF 2025), hosted by IIT Kharagpur on 28 and 29 June 2025 as part of the PAN-IIT initiative.

Using a rigorous difference-in-differences analysis, the award-winning study investigates the response of Indian banks during the COVID-19 period and contributes to the broader policy discourse on public sector banking and their crisis response.
