The 70th Republic Day was celebrated with zeal and vigour at IIM Shillong. The program commenced with Parade and the Flag hosting; the campus reverberated with our National Anthem. Thereafter, the students, faculty and staff were addressed and motivated by our Director Dr. Keya Sengupta.
I realised the true meaning of being a manager, when I witnessed two of the most significant events of XIMB come together at the end of this January. XIMB has everything to offer to its students, from diversity and culture providing you with ravishing cuisines to marketing events, case studies that test your business acumen. Both the endeavours provided the students with an opportunity to organise, manage and market events by themselves and learn from the experience.

This is when my first contact with SPJIMR took place. Unlike other business schools, SPJIMR wanted to capture the entirety of me in that form.

Filling out that form was a great experience since it made me relive many stories from my past which I had forgotten about.
Weekend is back, and after a dreary week full of submissions, assignments and lectures, if you are wondering what to do, plan your weekend getaway to IIMB’s cultural fest Unmaad, from the 1st-3rd of February!

The first one-day seminar on Women in Logistics & Supply Chain Management (WLSCM) in India, jointly organized by CSCM and NCCS, was successfully held on Saturday, Nov 17th, 2018. The discussions of the day acknowledged the role of family support and male mentors for women.

The event witnessed prominent leaders sharing their journey and tips about the industry.
In this market-driven world, we're all consumers. Like it or not, everything you touch, feel, or use around you is a purchased commodity. We have come far from the ancient days of the barter system.
