Welcome Note
The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs established by the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs, Government of India, is a think tank. As an institute we try to
anticipate and meet needs of learners in a way no one else does. Our values are
based on what we bring to our classes by combining theory and practice through
a unique learning model called the IICA way of learning. This is our brand and is
something we are constantly building, because it is an affirmation of who we are.
The unique way of learning unlocks the growth potential residing in every
learner. The IICA way of learning compels us to be agile, engage in constant
exploration and prevents us from being complacent. Through this way of learning
we handcraft the next phase of the career growth of participants.
Presently to
make Inida a business friendly, investment friendly and start-up friendly
jurisdiction the government by bringing in various new acts and through
amendments of existing laws has brought in the concept and practice of conflict
resolution through the art and skill of mediation. The arrival of Mediation in
conflict resolution scene is evident from the recent introduction of mediation in
almost all commercial dispute resolution laws such as Section 12A of
Commercial Courts Act, 2015, Section 442 of Companies Act, 2013, Chapter V
of Consumer Protection Act, 1986. As a government think tank we are pleased to roll out a 40 – Hour mediation training for capacity building and creation of
professionals to cater to commercial disputes to be resolved through negotiation
and mediation.

India has an existing demand and need of professionally trained mediators. Mediation as a concept can be
understood only through the process of 40 hour professional training. The training is designed keeping in
mind the necessity of theoretical learning and practical implementation to be done by
trained professionals post being trained. Mediation is an art as well as skill better learnt
through training and experience.
