Vishal Kaushik, a second year student at IIM Rohtak, a perennial movie buff and the event coordinator, said, “The emergence of regional film industries, global television renaissance, rising ticket prices, an ever increasing screen count and entry of international studios have generated tremendous opportunities for business professionals. It is high time that MBA students identify the underlying opportunities and brainstorm to generate business models out of them”.
Dr. Suresh Jakhar, faculty in-charge of the event, observed, “Given the pace with which Indian film industry is growing, the time is ripe for students of IIM Rohtak to contribute to the film industry. Film Summit is a great step towards creating awareness about the business aspect of film industry among the students.”
The interactive and insightful addresses by the speakers had the audience listening with rapt attention. The students also pitched in with a lot of questions to further understand the intricacies of the business. With a mixture of passionate and business centric discussions circling around the revered film industry, the first edition of Film Summit was a resounding success and set a benchmark for more such events to come. The unique event was a testimony to the vision that IIMR has set for itself – ‘to become a global center for learning and knowledge creation.’
