SPECTRUM

hi all, this is regarding regarding the abhyudaya theme, although the original idea presented was "prism" but probably the name has been used by some othr college fest so i've changed it 2 "SPECTRUM". The basic idea behind the theme is abhyudaya which gives  sunlight,it passes through prism n the splits into spectruim of rainbow colors n this signifies not only divesity of india but also managing diversity in corporate world. 

Coming to the events, since the basis lies in light n its splittingthe names of events proposed is also based on properties of light.Events proposed:

1.REFLECTION:is the coming back of light on same angle as it struck the surface,basically reflectin the trueselves;so an personality or hr quiz prog can be conducted to show the true selves n true managerial personality.2.REFRACTION:is the change in path of light as it passes from one medium to another,so basically a paer presentation to signify adaptability in changing phase of market scenario and handling tactfully the various stakeholders.3.INTERFEARANCE:is basically change in the wavelength of 2waves of light which interfere each other. This can be an online game to handle the competion in market.4.CRESTS AND TROUGHS:is the highest and lowest point of the wave of light, so basically it can be a case study where in you have to form goups and find soln.for a company going rigorously in troughs n the best practical soln will be winner.5.WAVELENGTH:is unique for each color so it can be a mock stock bidding to check how much correct ur wavelength is.6.FREQUENCY:is the number of waves passing through 1 point in 1 second,so we can have a similar game as elevator pitch proposed by srikant.7.QUANTUM OR PHOTON:are the small packets of light,so we can have paper presentation on microfinance. 8.SCATERRING:is the scattering of its particles when they hit somehard object, india we have a large unorganised sector so we can have a game on it as well.9.SPLITTING:is the phenomenon of split in colors through prism, so basically lots of color so we can have an admad show including creative capabilities10.VISION:is the capability to see things so it can be a business plan presentation the plan is flexible n open to change , a color will be attachd to each event with diagram in background.ive attached few files just go through them

IBL (Indian Business League)

Having started making their footprints in the world market and going global the Indian Business League is really on the lead in the business world. Acquiring and merging with companies around the world Indian companies have begun to scale up and started to prove their worth inside India as well as outside. Hence, IBL can be a suitable theme for the forthcoming Abhyudaya with a current relevant purpose and continuance with the past themes.

There are many characteristics in the Indian Business League similar to that of the Indian Premier League and those can be associated with various events as follows.

Foreign players – FDIs FIIs etc Grooming up local players – Development of Rural markets, Microfinance BCCI ruling – Regulation Warne’s Leadership, Slapgate issue, Bangalore Royal Challengers problem –

Cultural differences, Organizational issues, Leadership Cheerleaders – Entertainment, Cultural impact of business Logos, Team songs, Icon players – Branding, Marketing, Ad making Blue Cap – Stock market Orange/Green/White cap – CSR, Environmental issues Teams lineup , match strategy – Operations, Strategy

BlazON!

Hi ppl, In order to come up with a theme, I would like to suggest "BlazON" which basically means an announcement or declaration. One way I would like interpret it is that in continuity with last years theme BODMAS we can say that now that the Mergers and Demergers have been done it's time to announce the same and move on or rather not just move on but Blaze ON!  Also, as Gunjan suggested that relating the theme to abhyudaya would be nice, I feel the Rising(Blazing) Sun "Abhyudaya" needs to Blaze on or in short BlazON! We can also include Gunjan's Emerging India Idea to say "BlazON Emerging India" or even simply "BlazON India!" I have attached the poster also for your comments.

ACHTUNG

The theme of a business school event is based on the sentiment prevalent and applicable in the present business scenario .Apart from imparting novelty; a theme also gives a b-school event a factor of marketability.

I would suggest the theme of” achtung “which when translated from German means to be on the lookout. Again as a noun the above word also refers to being attentive and alert. Thus the above theme when extended to business scenario implies that one has to be constantly alert to spot change and with it any potential new opportunities. If one loses track of events then he is out of the game. There is no substitute for hard work but a little bit of “achtung “can make some of the “hard” work “smart”. For instance Sabeer Bhatia was “achtung” to spot an opportunity and “achtung” to recognize the right time and right person to sell it off and make a fortune

Again , Abhyudhya meaning the rising sun , further implies the dawn of a new age again emphasizing the need to be alert (achtung ! ) .The same theme can extend to a host of events which would involve a bit of trick here or there to gauge a persons alertness and attentiveness.

Some events suggested are:

1. Blitzkrieg (lightning war) an event which would involve marketing a unique business plan within 2 minutes

2. Coup De Corporate: the dawn of the corporate, dealing with finance related issues

3. Bottom of the Pyramid: are you alert and smart to make money by building a sustainable rural development plan (CSR and DSF related)

MAHAYUDDHA

I would like to suggest the theme for ifmr b-fest as the “mahayuddha” with the tagline as ‘the battle of survival’, as today’s corporate situations are a perfect mimics of the ancient wars wherein big corporate guns are fighting with each other to ensure that they are in the business , through m&a, business . Strategies, CSR, innovative business practices, forming business partnerships etc.

Based on this theme we can have following events:

1.:- EKLAVYA:- in mahabharat when eklavya was denied formal education by dronacharya he practiced dhanurvidya on his own and was regarded as best archer on earth hence this will be an event wherein the participants will be asked to come up with their innovative business models and the best one will be chosen as Eklavya.2:- KUTILNITI:- in todays world businesses need to form extensive business partnerships with other players in industry and suppliers, and this event will emphasize this importance by inviting SPEECHES or DEBATES on this issue3:- RAJYAVISTAR:- this event will focus on Expansion by businesses through M&A, participants can be asked to have write-ups or quizzes4:- ARTHANITI / ARTHSPARDHA:- finance quizzes, online treasure hunts can be held under this event name5:- VYUHRACHNA:- this will be a case study based contest wherein participants will be asked to come-up with their own case studies or “Chakravyuh” which will be solved by other participants and 2 awards will be there one for constructing the best “chakravyuh” and other for solving the case study in the best possible way 6:- DHARMA:- write ups on corporate social responsibilities (CSR) can be invited under this event .
