Welcome!
We are delighted to welcome you to our 18th Laissez Faire to be held on Friday, August 13th, 2021.
As India is on the cusp of its 75th year as an independent nation, we thought this was the perfect moment to look back at its achievements over the decades and chart the way forward. Keeping this in mind, our overarching theme for this year is
India at 75: Retrace & Rejuvenate
Our eclectic mix of events is aimed at engaging the students, providing some necessary respite from online classes while also tapping into their competitive streak. The domain areas range from current affairs to business and economic acumen.
We look forward to your participation in making this event a success!
Warm regards,
Rekha Krishnan Principal
