Āhvān - 2010 : Inspire to Act… Act to Inspire

Highlights >>

 

Āhvān is IIM Indore’s annual management festival and is one of the most anticipated events among top B School participants across India. The showcase events such as Ashwamedha, Kalpavriksha, Klueless and Chanakya have seen tremendous participation from top B Schools over the years, attracting some of the best minds in the field of business and management.

 

The festival took its first steps in 2009, with the theme of ‘Imagining India’. Held between 2nd and 4th December the 2010 edition of Ahvan has moved ahead to take a bigger stride, with its theme to ‘Inspire to Act… Act to Inspire’.

 

Among the events, Ashwamedha is meticulously designed by a special team comprising students, professors and consultants. Every year more than 1500 of the brightest minds from top B-Schools of the country participate. Ashwamedha is spread over 45 days culminating in the grand finale. With the philosophy of “Ekamev Jayate”, Ashwamedha awards only a single winner who takes the entire prize money and coveted Golden Horse home. The event places participants in a series of simulated real life scenarios in which they have to use their wits, knowledge and passion to prove their mettle in varied aspects like negotiation, decision making team work, creativity, stress handling, self- confidence and other such skills testing the leadership and managerial acumen under high pressure situations.

 

Another flagship event of Ahvan 2010 is Kalpavriksha- the social Business plan competition. It strives to create a positive societal impact by providing a forum for self-sustainablebusiness plans which seek to sensitize its participants about the responsibility and potential difference they can make. The belief that drives Kalpavriksha is that the amalgamation of business principles with efforts towards societal upliftment can be sustained and are powerful tool to change.

 

Gordian Knot is another flagship event, one where management students would get down from their ivory towers and be tested on their faculties to make the best use of any situation. A thoroughly challenging event, it received participation from more than 200 teams across colleges like IIMs, IITs, MDI, IMT, IMI, NMIMS, SPJAIN, IIFT and FMS.

 

Klueless– the online game which in its 6th year now, reached a new high with a million hits in the first 2 days itself. People from US, UK, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and even Romania have racked their brains to crack this puzzle.

 

Ahvan’10 also witnessed the launch of Chanakya, a consulting event in association with Cognizant. The idea behind the event was to test the core consulting skill of the participants. It was conducted in three phases. It saw heavy participation from all premier B-schools of India. The crème de la crème of B-schools like the IIMs, NITIE, IIFT and Great Lakes registered their presence in the finals.
