The showcase events such as Ashwamedha, Kalpavriksha, and Klueless have seen tremendous participation from top B Schools over the years, attracting some of the best minds in the field of business and management. This year, they are expecting to host close to 500 participants from major B schools and Corporate Houses in their campus and another 2000 students and faculty from local institutes. Their theme, inspired by the Nandan Nilekani book of the same name, is “Imagining India” with most events circling around issues that deal with making India globally competent on multiple levels, while at the same time staying locally centric, and, above all, socially relevant.</p><p>With Ashwamedha – one of their flagship events receiving over 1200 hits already & 600+ well-informed comments on its blog, the ‘Think’ stage of Ashwamedha can’t be called anything less than successful. The first round ‘Hurdle’ was an aptitude-based round that stressed on out-of-the-box thinking. 70 successful warriors crossed over to ‘Ignite’ where they have chosen to present their ideas on 1 out of the 7 topics like waste management, river pollution etc. Allowing readers to comment on the presentation uploaded on the ’Ignite’ blog has received huge support & enthusiasm. The ‘Act’ and the ‘Lead’ stages will kick off tonight with the announcement of the final 30 contenders, hailing from B-schools like IIM – K, A, L, I; MDI, FMS, XLRI, IIFT. The final winner shall take home Rs.1,50,000 along with the trophy.<br /><br />Another flagship event of Ahvan 2009 will be Kalpavriksha- the social Business plan competition which is all set for its final presentation round on 20th November. The final 5 teams are from IIM A, IIM K, IIM Shillong, FMS and SIIB. These teams are currently in the mentorship phase where their plans are being looked into by a team from Ashoka Fellows and FINO. The final round will be judged by a panel of an academician, a venture capitalist and a field expert in the area. Kalpavriksha, with an international tie-up with Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition (GSEC) of Foster School of Business and association with FINO as ‘Knowledge Partner’ and Cognizant as Sponsor, promises to be bigger and better than last year.</p><p> </p>
