group.
13. The WG noted that the GIP is not aimed at isolating

the existing about 1800 IPs who are already providing
insolvency services. The new professionals produced by
the GIP would cater to the vacuum that is likely to be
created owing to the increased market demand for
quality IPs in the coming years, especially once the
provisions relating to individual insolvency and
bankruptcy are also rolled out in phases. There may be
other incidental opportunities as well, for the new
professionals, in the related and ancillary fields and
companies would be in a position to accommodate
professionally qualified persons coming successfully
after completing the GIP.

RECOMMENDATIONS

OBJECTIVES OF GIP
07 / 08
STRUCTURE AND DURATION
26. Insolvency profession requires multiple abilities,

serving multiple stakeholders. While the GIP should
comprehensively learn about the entire spectrum of
insolvency and turnaround related policies, laws and
regulations, it must emphasise on inculcating the
requisite soft skills such as, interpersonal and
communication skills, people management,
entrepreneurship, commitment, and emotional IQ. At
the heart of the GIP design should be to embed deeply
rooted ethics, integrity and other virtues in the IP. It
should be equally emphatic about developing thought
leadership through interaction and mentorship with
thinkers, leaders and role models from across the
spectrum of economy and society, domestic and
overseas, invited to share their thoughts, perspective,
experiences and vision. The GIP should command
acknowledgement and respect on the strength of the
innovative, unique and high quality of its structure,
content and delivery.
Various components of the programme are suggested

in the following paras.

ANNEXURE - 4 : Internship - Schedule of Activities
Framework
The suggested schedule of activities is broadly in line with the model timeline for a CIRP process, as recommended by the IBBI.
 The actual schedule of activities will be based on the status of projects available with the Mentor. The schedule may be
modified during the course of the internship, basis project requirements. However, such changes will be kept to a minimum
and will be communicated in advance to all stakeholders.
 The Mentor will also ensure that during the internship, focus on quality of deliverables is not diluted, on the basis of which
credits will be earned by the GIP.
While an IP is required to perform several activities at the same time, limited multi-tasking has been envisaged for the GIP to
ensure deep understanding of activities being performed.
