Annual Corporate Symposium "Samanvay 2008" Held at JBIMS, Mumbai

Since its inception, JBIMS, Mumbai has been at the vanguard of management education consistently producing an enviable stream of top-notch business leaders. The driving force behind this has been the rigorous academic environment and a corresponding level of learning

beyond the classroom by providing avenues for student-corporate interaction. In keeping with this tradition, Samanvay 2008, JBIMS' Annual Corporate Symposium, saw corporate luminaries with rich industry experience sharing their valuable insights with the students. Theme of the event this year was 'Hope: In Current Turbulent Times'.

Samanvay 2008 kicked off with Mr. Samir Sain, CEO & MD Future Capital Holdings, addressing the students on the current global financial turmoil and its bearing on Indian economy. He mesmerised the audience by creatively using the analogy of a party hang-over to the aftermath of subprime crisis. He mentioned the role of complex financial instruments and the inefficiency of credit rating agencies leading to the current financial crisis. He opined that Indian economy will be affected by the crisis but would still grow at a healthy 7% GDP growth rate. Specifically, he encouraged students to see this bearish phase as an opportunity to start their career at the bottom of the economic cycle and gain crucial learning during such turbulent times, thus, underlining the theme 'HOPE'.
