Avenues 07 - A flashback.

 

'Avenues' is the Annual International B-School festival organized by SJMSOM, IIT Bombay. 'Avenues 07' marked the beginning of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of IIT Bombay and provided a platform for the confluence of students from different B-schools through a host of competitions, workshops, talk series and games. The festival was held on 27th-28th October, 2007. The theme of Avenues 07 was 'The Emperors of India' - the application of today's management principles in their days, to rule and bring prosperity to the masses.

'Abhyutthan' - The Championship Game - was a unique concept designed to hunt for a team of all-rounders from the premier B-schools across the globe. 'Baazi' - The Entrepreneurship Challenge - unique in its own right, brought onto the platform two sets of teams - the entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists, who battled it out in our boardrooms to get the best deal through. 'Alankar' - The Talk Series - aimed at bringing together eminent personalities from different walks of life to enlighten us through their speeches. 'Jantar Mantar' - The IT Paper Presentation contest organized in association with IBM, aimed at bringing out new focus areas in IT. Avenues 07 concluded with the cultural night which had a performance by the Grammy award winner, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. He enthralled the audience with his self-invented instrument - the Mohan Veena. We are pleased to have been associated with a number of organizations who partnered with us for Avenues 07. Without their active support, Avenues 07 would not have been the event it turned out to be. There were a host of sponsors viz. Standard Chartered, SIDBI, IBM, CII, Raymond, Club Mahindra etc. The media partners of Avenues 07 were Star News and Mint.
