IIM B presents Vista – Oct 10th – 12th

If the events of IIMB were to attempt ballet, Vista would be the Prima Ballerina.

This three day business fest is the core initiative of the FII, and is organized in conjunction with other student clubs. Typically set in the month of October, Vista unfailingly attracts thousands of footfalls and hits in its real and virtual venues respectively every year. As the events unravel one after the other, the entire campus would descend into extreme levels of frenzied activity, with the brightest of minds clashing with the best of brains. What makes Vista a wholesome experience is that young managers as well as established veterans from the industry catalyse the generation of intellectual capital with their presence.

The scores of events lined up for the colossal fest have their bases in a multitude of focus areas like Marketing, Finance, Operations, Economics & Social Sciences, Strategy and IT. There’s something in Vista for anyone and everyone even remotely related to the field of management and business.

The spectrum of business is unendingly wide. This being the case, it is imperative that discussions are made to evolve and revolve around a central axis. This would ensure unity and utility of thoughts, and lend purpose to the exercises. We ensure this in each edition of Vista by setting our events to a specific contemporary theme. If it is “India Inc.” one year, it is “Business Beyond Boundaries” the next.

The meteoric rise of the emerging economies to the spotlight in the past decade, followed by the near-sudden decline of global economic health have together placed the world of business in a very interesting situation; a situation that defies conventional wisdom and marks the surge of new realities; a situation that demands that we all pause and take stock of the situation. And that, is precisely what Vista 2008 is all set to do in October, with the theme “Emerging Economies. Emerging Realities.”

Last time, when I put up talk - Go Kiss the World!!.. I got a lot of mails.. asking me for details of talks or events which happen @ IIMB.. which junta can take part in..

So… here is the first in the series.. – Eximius – The Entrepreneurship Summit!!

What is EXIMIUS?

It is IIM Bangalore’s inaugural entrepreneurship summit on 22nd and 23rd of August 2008.

It presents a wonderful opportunity for students and aspiring entrepreneurs to validate your ideas, network with like-minded people and gain valuable feedback from venture capitalists before you step into the real world. Are you game enough?

But I am not really into the whole entrepreneurship thing / I have a PPO / there’s too much work, why should I come?

So you missed out on the Google IPO. Not to worry, EXIMIUS is your chance to be part of history. Twenty years from now you will look back and say – I was there when this whole thing started. You’ll get a chance to hear wonderful speakers, meet
inspiring people, broaden your horizons and have loads of fun! What’s more, you also get a chance to win cash prizes worth Rs. 3.5 Lacs.

Cool, you convinced me. So how can I participate?

EXIMIUS caters for everyone – here’s a sampling of our major events:

Ingen - Invites innovative business ideas in the field of education. At stake – huge cash prizes, and an opportunity to get your idea completely funded.

Innovation Challenge – Have an idea that will Transform India but don’t know how to take it to the next level? Test your idea amongst hundreds of others – and, if you get selected, present it to an elite panel of judges in front of a critical audience to earn invaluable feedback and recognition. And cash!

Genesis – Nurturing a business plan and that needs VC funding? What you need is constructive feedback from VCs in a simulated setting, a dress rehearsal to enhance your chances of winning that pot of cash.

Panel Discussion – Social Entrepreneurship is a buzzword today but what does it really mean? Find out from the people who are dedicating their lives to it. Get inspired by eminent personalities such as DR Mehta (founder of Jaipur Foot), Varun Sahni (Acumen Fund India director) and others.
