That is when we came up with the idea of starting a portal for every MBA student and graduate out there who are affected by the pandemic situation or does not have a wide network to reach out to. Since LinkedIn is the best platform where academicians and industry practitioners are present, we thought of starting the portal on LinkedIn itself.

The virtual sessions, delivered by eminent speakers and facilitated by the IIM Nagpur team, were conducted over the course of the month of April. The series featured speakers who shared their insights on topics as diverse as ethics in current times, to the impact of artificial intelligence on businesses.

John F. Kennedy once said, “When written in Chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” When our beloved nation was struck by the crisis, not only did we realise the danger that COVID 19 posed to the common man, but we collectively realised the opportunity to come together behind closed doors to address critical issues that the pandemic has bought about. The team came together at the “Coronathon” event held in late March and have been taking time from our daily schedule to create the platform COVIDFYI with zero funding.
