IIM STUDENTS GET SET TO CHART THE NEXT BIG INDIAN DREAM
IIM LUCKNOW LAUNCHES ITS ANNUAL BUSINESS CONCLAVE – MANFEST 2010
IIM Lucknow, in association with Citi announced the launch of the institute’s much awaited Annual International Business Conclave, Manfest 2010 with the opening of the Manfest 2010 website – www.iimlmanfest.com. This edition of Manfest is centered around the theme India: Expect, Explore, Experience and intends to firmly put the focus on India. Manfest 2010 aims to celebrate India’s success in weathering the recent economic crisis and draw inspiration from the strong fundamentals of our economy to move forward.
Incidentally, 2009 marks 25 years of IIM Lucknow’s growth – a journey that saw the institute grow to be one of the best B schools in the country, establish an elite alumni base and foster strong ties with the industry. This is a momentous year for the institute. Says Dhruv Vishrani, Manfest core-committee member, “It is a reflection of our long lasting relationship with the industry that one of our oldest recruiters, Citibank, is the title sponsor of Manfest 2010”.
The Launch of Manfest was followed by the launch of ‘The Next CEO’ – a flagship event that is a big draw amongst the best b school students in the country for the high stakes that it offers. ‘The Next CEO’ at Manfest 2010 boasts of PPI offers for the winners along with cash prizes worth INR 1 Lakh. The event has always had the reputation of being a gruelling test of business acumen, but with a difference. Innovative stages such as the Manfest ‘live’ round test participants in a non- traditional way, pulling them out of their comfort zones, putting them into the deep end of the pool and evaluating how they cope. Where last year the ‘live’ round featured participants selling vegetables at a Lucknow Subzi Mandi, this year it promises to throw new challenges. Says Deepak Venkatramani, Manfest core-committee member, “The Next CEO is recognized across campus as one of the most innovative and challenging competitions and we are confident of living up to that expectation.”
And that’s not all. Manfest 2010 will feature a host of other exciting events touching upon diverse areas of management, path breaking discussions at the high profile conclaves; an adrenaline filled online Manfest, unabashed entertainment in the form of Hell Raiser, the rock fest and Pronites the professional musical night, fun filled informalz and much more.
Manfest 2010 will be held from Jan 22-24, 2010 at the IIM Lucknow campus.
