Mr. Sudhaker Shukla, Whole Time Member, IBBI addressed the participants in the inaugural session. Mr. Shukla, while inaugurating the Certificate Course highlighted that the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is a noble law as it is designed to take care of stressed assets, be it pertains to a company, an LLP, a proprietorship, or partnership firm, or an individual. He deliberated on the issues relating to policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on insolvency resolution landscape in the country and concluded that due to effective measures taken by the Government and other stakeholders including regulator situation of an eminent glut in the stressed asset market did not materialize.
He observed that a firm in a market economy may experience stress, mostly on account of competition and innovation. Highlighting the salient outcomes of Code in resolving stress and reviving debtors as going concern, over the last five years, he remarked that the Code now provides an effective mechanism whereby a failing, unviable firm can exit with the least disruption and cost; and releases idle resources in an orderly manner for fresh allocation to efficient uses. He also delved upon the emerging frontier areas of Code like the cross-border insolvency and efforts being made on avoiding procedural delays at the admission stage and timebound approval of the resolution plan as per the spirit of the Code.
