We incorporate some corrections inspired by loop quantum gravity into theconcept of gravitational collapse and propose a complete model of the dynamicprocess. The model carries the essence of a mass-independent upper bound on thecurvature scalars originally found as a crucial feature of black holes in loopquantum gravity. The quantum-inspired interior is immersed in a geometry filledwith null radiation and they are matched at a distinct boundary hypersurface.The ultimate fate of the process depends on inhomogeneities of the metrictensor cofficients. We find a critical parameter $\lambda$ embedded in theinhomogeneity of the conformal factor of the interior metric. Examples with$\lambda < 0$ enforce an eventual collapse to singularity and $\lambda > 0$cases produce a non-singular collapse resulting in a loop-quantum-correctedSchwarzschild geometry modulo a conformal factor. Interestingly, for $\lambda <0$ as well, there exist situations where the quantum effects are able to causea bounce but fall short of preventing the ultimate formation of singularity.The trapped surface formation condition is studied for $\lambda<0$ case toinfer about the visibility of the final singularity. Interestingly, we find apossibility of formation of three horizons during the course of the collapse.Eventually all of them merge into one single horizon which envelopes the finalsingularity. For the non-singular case, there is a possibility that the spherecan evolve into a wormhole throat whose radius is found to be inverselyproportional to the critical parameter $\lambda$. Depending on the nature ofevolution and the shell regions, the collapsing shells violate some standardenergy conditions which can be associated with the quantum inspiredcorrections.
