Zephyrus Fest is the Official Inter-College Business Festival of St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Mumbai on 2nd, 3rd and 4th of February 2023. The theme for this year’s Zephyrus is, “Riding the Crest.”

Throughout the ever-evolving business environment riddled with hurdles, the crest signifies the highest point of India’s post-pandemic economic revival. Zephyrus celebrates India’s indomitable resolve to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of our business entities, read start-ups, that have made India a force to be reckoned with in today’s global economy.

Every year, Zephyrus undertakes a social initiative that resonates with their beliefs. This year, since the theme focuses on young entrepreneurs and home-grown businesses, they partnered with Hamara Foundation and hosted an event called, “Build your Business,” on 26th January, 2023.

The Zephyrus team conducted a workshop and competition for the students of the Foundation, who are mostly underprivileged children. 25 young, talented minds collaborated with their team members and developed business plans to support their nascent businesses ranging from a Tea Stall to a restaurant serving low-cost but hygienically cooked meals.

Apart from this, Zephyrus conducted two pre-events in the college called “ManaFest,” and “Market Mania,” which saw about 16 small businesses come to the college premises and set up stalls that did brisk business. A few days ago, they hosted the Director of Google, India as a pre-keynote speaker on 23rd January 2023 and are planning to host another with the Executive Director of SEBI, Mr. Amarjeet Singh on 30th January 2023.

Zephyrus 2022-23 celebrates ideas and businesses riding the crest and invites you to look into the future on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of February, 2023.
