Upping the glamour quotient for money? Well, that’s the dream, my friend.
And for three long days: Our calendars will be blocked *insert smug look*
So, here’s presenting NEEV – The Annual Business School festival of Symbiosis Centre for Management & Human Resource Development (SCMHRD), Pune. It initially lay down the foundations of a modest college fest in 1995 and has since broken all barriers, reflecting flamboyance and exuberance; such as to now be counted amongst the crème de la crème of business school festivals (Go Google it!).
With the title sponsor for NEEV 2013 as Tata Motors and associate sponsors being Vodafone, ONGC & IndiGo Airlines, it brought with itself a perfect blend of intellect, talent and glamour by:
- Bringing SUNBURN for the very first time to Pune (That’s how we roll)!
- Inviting Aditya Ghosh – CEO of IndiGo Airlines.
- Launching the Raghu Dixit project in association with EVC.
Having a footfall of over 12000, including 4000+ participants from International B-Schools and leading Business Schools all over India, NEEV takes pride in hosting its flagship event:
1. ‘AUGUSTUS’
It is a hunt for the Best Student Manager of the country. AUGUSTUS has received critical acclaim for its ability to challenge its participants and push themselves to reach beyond their potential to win 4000$ – one of the highest cash prizes that Business Schools in India have to offer!
And also hosts:
Customized Case Studies
