Unlocking Value: AIPE’s Symposium on RBI’s Draft Securitisation Framework
📍 Garware Hall, Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai | 📅 17 July 2025

The Association of Insolvency Professional Entities (AIPE) successfully hosted its second symposium on a critical and timely subject—“Unlocking Value: RBI’s Draft Framework on Securitization of Stressed Assets.”

The event brought together some of the most respected minds in the insolvency ecosystem—insolvency professionals, IPEs, CAs, lawyers, and senior bankers—to explore this pathbreaking development.

The session began with an insightful presentation by Mr. Sanjeev Pandey, CEO of AIPE, covering :-
a. The draft guidelines issued by RBI for stressed asset securitisation
b. The evolving role of ARCs and Resolution Managers (ReMs)
c. Global best practices and risks highlighted by historic cases like IL&FS and Yes Bank

💬 A powerful panel discussion followed, moderated by Mr. Pandey, featuring :-
👤 Mr. Avinash Kulkarni, MD & CEO, IDRCL
👤 Mr. Ajay Shaw, Senior Partner, DSK Legal
👤 Mr. Vipin Agarwal, Director, AIPE

They addressed questions such as:
🔹 How does this framework align with IBC and SARFAESI?
🔹 Can securitization speed up resolution of legacy NPAs?
🔹 What are the key legal, operational, and valuation safeguards needed?
🔹 Are ARCs ready to act as resolution applicants under IBC? What is the scope for IPEs to act as Resolution Managers (ReMs) under the draft guidelines?

The discussion highlighted the immense potential of the RBI’s proposed structure to unlock capital, improve bank balance sheets, and build a robust SR market—but also flagged the need for transparency, institutional reform, modifications in existing Laws like Sarfaesi Act and skilled execution.

I am also grateful to Mr. Santosh Shukla, ex-ED, IBBI, and ED, sebi for gracing the occasion with his presence and also providing excellent inputs on the future of the insolvency profession. modifications required in IBC and his free and frank opinions on Sec 29 A and other aspects of the Code.

AIPE will soon be publishing a summary paper with key insights and reform suggestions emerging from this dialogue.

📌 Stay tuned as we continue to drive industry engagement on issues critical to insolvency resolution and capital recovery in India.
