🎤 GRAND LAUNCH
Launch of Volume–13 & Volume–14
(As per IBBI Valuation Examination Syllabus 2024)
Respected senior Registered Valuers, Insolvency Professionals, academicians, industry leaders, and dear aspiring valuers,
Good day to all of you.
Today is not merely a book launch. It is the launch of a structured academic movement aimed at strengthening the intellectual and professional foundation of the valuation fraternity in India.
In recent years, the valuation profession has undergone a historic transformation. With the enactment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the regulatory supervision of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, valuation has moved from being an informal estimation exercise to a regulated, accountable, and evidence-based professional discipline.
Today, a Registered Valuer is not merely assessing numbers — he or she is influencing resolution plans, financial statements, mergers, acquisitions, lending decisions, liquidation outcomes, and even judicial proceedings.
Such responsibility demands structured knowledge, conceptual clarity, ethical grounding, and examination readiness.
It is with this vision that we proudly launch:
📘 Volume–13
Common Subjects for Land & Building & Plant & Machinery

and
📗 Volume–14
Exclusive Technical Subjects – Land & Building Asset Class
Both volumes are meticulously aligned with the IBBI Valuation Examination Syllabus 2024 and designed not just to help aspirants clear the examination, but to help them become competent professionals.

Why These Books Were Necessary
Many aspirants face three major challenges:
-
Fragmented study material
-
Lack of conceptual clarity
-
Difficulty connecting theory with professional practice
We observed that students were studying economics from one source, law from another, accounting from somewhere else, and valuation principles from scattered notes. There was no single structured academic roadmap aligned fully with the current syllabus.
These two volumes aim to fill that gap.
📘 About Volume–13

-

This volume builds analytical strength. It trains the mind of a valuer.
A professional who understands economics can interpret market movements.
A valuer who understands law can protect himself from negligence.
A valuer who understands finance can analyze viability.
A valuer who understands ethics builds trust.

In short — they prepare you not only to pass the exam, but to practice valuation responsibly.
The Larger Vision
The valuation profession in India is still evolving. With increasing corporate restructuring, insolvency cases, infrastructure development, financial reporting requirements, and globalization, the demand for competent valuers will only grow.
But competence requires education.
Education requires structure.
Structure requires disciplined academic resources.
These volumes represent our humble contribution to strengthening professional standards.

Their insights ensured that these volumes are practical, relevant, and professionally robust.
Formal Declaration
With immense pride, professional responsibility, and optimism for the future of the valuation profession in India,
I formally launch:

📗 Volume–14 – Technical Subjects – Land & Building
