Driven by collaboration of the business acumen from SJMSOM and tech expertise of IIT Bombay, there are multiple start-ups incubated by SINE (Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship), the largest incubator platform of India. E-Summit, the flagship event conducted annually, is a networking hub for corporates, professionals, and budding entrepreneurs from all across the nation. Organizing this summit gives a rare opportunity to the students of SOM by being in-charge from conceptualization to final execution of the Business Conclave presided by CXOs of biggest companies and many other mega events. Avenues, the annual business fest of SJMSOM attended by students from top B-Schools of the country, is another platform for the convergence of best of business and technology.
The various clubs and societies of IIT Bombay have designated positions of responsibility for students of SOM where we work along with the students across all courses of IIT Bombay. It leads to an amazing exchange of ideas and perspectives. Various clubs of SOM welcome and are open to be joined by engineering students who want to get a taste of MBA. With a full-fledged Student Activity Centre, complete with arenas for all kinds of sports as well as cultural activities, these facilities help us to continue pursuing hobbies and even excel at them. Each
SOM student also gets a chance to choose their passion and be a part of the IIT Bombay team which participates in various national and international competitions.
SJMSOM is a b-school with added advantage of being a part of IIT Bombay which leads to development of a diverse and the much needed technology oriented business perspective in the minds of leaders of the future. I feel fortunate to be studying here and being a part of this prestigious institution…so do our recruiter organizations who appreciate the talent they have been recruiting for years.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
With a diverse portfolio of companies, Aditya Birla Group is indeed a conglomerate every MBA graduate would like to work at and if I get a chance to work for ABG, I would want it to be with the fashion retail arm, i.e. Pantaloons Stores and other brands. I am a marketing enthusiast and fashion has always been a sector full of enriching career opportunities in marketing. Getting to manage one of the highly popular fashion & lifestyle brands of ABG would give a chance to learn and grow with the best in the marketing domain.
