Manthan 2008 at TISS-Mumbai Attracts Best Talent from B-schools

Previous

3) Jigyasa - The Corporate Quiz - Sponsored by Emkay Global Financial Services and Ma Foi Management Consultancy, Jigyasa was hosted this year by ace quizmaster, Mr. Avinash Mudaliar. The quiz attracted crowd from B-schools like
NMIMS-Mumbai, SIBM-Pune, SPJIMR-Mumbai, KJ Somaiyya Institute of Management-Mumbai, FMS-Delhi, IIT-Bombay (SJMSOM), NITIE-Mumbai.

However, the Winners were veterans of corporate quizzing, 'The Mercenaries', Govind Grewal and Souvik Basu from Tata Capital. They walked away with the handsome booty of Rs. 25,000/- while a capacity crowd enjoyed a thrilling contest.

4) Anveshan - The Assessment Center - The only of its kind event in any B-school fest across India was a huge success according to the 10 fortunate B-school students who got themselves assessed by certified assessors from the prestigious Right Management Group. The event was sponsored by LBW (Leadership Business Wide) and with entries coming from IIM-Ahmedabad, IIM-Calcutta, IIM-Indore, IMT-Nagpur, MICA-Ahmedabad, Great Lakes-Chennai, FMS-Delhi, MDI-Gurgaon, SIBM-Pune, SCMHRD-Pune, JBIMS-Mumbai, SIIM-Pune and the likes, the entry barrier was only steeper this year for this particular event vis-a-vis last year when it was introduced. However, that failed to dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic budding managers who wanted to get themselves assessed and receive feedback on the "haves and have-nots" of their personalities.

Participants from IIM-A, IIM-I, MICA, SIBM, SIIM, Great Lakes and IMT-Nagpur managed to make it to the Campus Round after initial screening process. In the end, participants from IIM-Indore stole the march over others. Saurabh Sharma and Dheeraj Kumar (Both from IIM-I) were declared joint winners of the event for displaying exemplary leadership potential in the 2-day assessment center.

5) Trishna - The treasure hunt was Manthan's answer to the Amazing Race. It was this time taken out of the campus and spread over a larger geographical span. The margin for error, thus, became smaller. Sponsored by Syntel & Barista Lavazza, the event added a touch of excitement to the otherwise academic proceedings. The teams dropped down from SIBM-Bangalore, SCMHRD-Pune, NMIMS-Mumbai, Wellingkar-Mumbai. The teams were tested on the 'real streets' (in markets of Chembur & Govandi) of Mumbai for their skills to manage time and resources, to bargain and negotiate, to coordinate and anticipate were tested.

In the end, the Winners were Wellingkers-Mumbai.
