Guesstimate Knights version 2.0 at IIM Ranchi
Conundrum was back in action his year with version 2.0 of their flagship event-- Guesstimate Knights. This coveted event allows teams battle out for the glory of being adjudged the top guessing minds of the institute. Guesstimate Knights 2.0, as it was christened this year, saw participation from as many as 56 teams exemplifying the enthusiasm among the students for the event. Guesstimate, as the name suggests, works on the principles of logic and estimation while integrating it with some amount of intuitive guessing. A set of conditions is provided and the participants, using logic and suitable assumptions to come up with an estimated figure. Students had to register in teams of two or three and had to clear a series of preliminary rounds to make it to the finals. The prelims were spread across three days with new teams springing up in the Top 7 chart each day. Finally, based upon the cumulative scores, 10 teams were shortlisted for the final round which was held at the IIM hostel at Khelgaon. The finals consisted of two rounds and featured Abhishek Aggarwal and Prateek Jaiswal, coordinators of Conundrum, as the judges. In the first round each team was given a different problem to solve within a time limit of 10 minutes. Post this they were supposed to explain the logic behind their guesstimate. The focus of the judges was more towards the logic and approach rather than the final number. This was followed by a common question being given to all the teams which was required to be solved within 15 minutes. It was a tightly contested affair with teams finishing quite close to each other. Finally, Team Simplifiers was declared as the winner with Team DNA and Team Silent Assassins bagging the first and the second runners up spot, respectively.

IIM Calcutta's Systems Consulting Club presents TEDxIIMC
Informative, Thought provoking and sublime. These are the precise words that summarize the experience at TEDxIIMC held on 23rd August 2014. The event organized by TED and Systems Consulting Club of IIM Calcutta was held in the IIMC Audi which was full to its capacity with outstation attendance exceeding 500 students. The event was a conglomeration of talks and videos from some distinguished personalities from various walks of life. The theme for this year was Entrepreneurial Innovations, and true to the theme, the event started with a talk by Faheem Vora, the co-founder of ‘Be the Local Tours’. Faheem had cofounded the company with Tausif with the aim to show Dharavi in a different light. They changed the way people look at Dharavi, from a dirty slum to a locality with thriving businesses and diversity. Their underlying philosophy was that Dharavi is their home, and there is nobody better than them who can showcase their home to the world. They employ local college-going boys as tour guides, thus helping them fund their education.
