ATHARV RANBHOOMI ’23

Atharv: the cultural, management, and literary fest, and Ranbhoomi: the sports fest of IIM Indore have come together to set forth a new edge. The merger of Atharv and Ranbhoomi creates a truly exceptional experience, combining the best of both worlds to ensure an unforgettable and unparalleled festival: Atharv Ranbhoomi ’23. Atharv Ranbhoomi, the rebranded annual fest of IIM Indore, is poised to become the largest literary, cultural, management, and sports fest in Central India. As the only undergraduate fest at any IIM, this three-day extravaganza promises an abundance of enthusiasm, intense competition, and top-tier entertainment. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, Atharv and Ranbhoomi have etched itself firmly in the hearts and minds of students across India, emerging as the country’s most highly anticipated college event.

What began as a mere dream and idea has burgeoned into a remarkable journey for Atharv Ranbhoomi. Over the years, the festival has played host to illustrious artists such as Aashish Solanki, Samay Raina, Zakir Khan, Rahul Subramaniam, and Biswa Kalyan for its comedy nights. It has also witnessed mesmerising performances from Vh1 Supersonic and Sunburn, as well as captivating musical acts by Anuv Jain, King, and Neeti Mohan.

Now, with the unveiling of the official tagline for Atharv Ranbhoomi ’23—Dream. Dare. Deliver—the festival aims to be a platform where dreams can be nurtured, celebrated, and transformed into tangible realities. Participants are encouraged to embrace daring pursuits, pushing their limits within the arena of Atharv Ranbhoomi to courageously take risks and shatter records. Let Atharv Ranbhoomi serve as a testament to their dedication, commitment, and ability to convert dreams into tangible achievements.

The theme for this year’s edition, “Memories in Motion,” pays heartfelt tribute to the experiences, stories, and connections that have shaped the fest over the past decade. As the milestone is celebrated, participants are invited to immerse themselves in the nostalgia of cherished moments, create new memories together, and honour the narratives that define their individual and collective identities.

At Atharv Ranbhoomi, each person’s uniqueness and talent are recognized, acknowledged, and encouraged. The festival offers a diverse range of management and literary events, pitting the best minds in the country against one another in battles of wit and determination. From the critical thinking and negotiation skills tested in the leadership event, Chaitanya, to the demand for prioritisation and people skills in the HR event, HeadhunteR, participants will be challenged to excel. Additionally, the IPL auction event provides an exciting opportunity

to construct one’s dream IPL team and outsmart opponents. Other events include Ranneeti, a sports management simulation, E-Conjecture, the economics event, Game of Shadows, the game theory event, Vendition Vendetta for marketing enthusiasts, and Finopoly for financial brainiacs. For investigative minds, Khoj, the journalism event, and Devil’s Advocate, the law event, offer intriguing challenges.

We are thrilled to introduce “Runveer,” an exciting marathon event that forms a part of our fest. At Atharv Ranbhoomi, we believe in leveraging our platform to create awareness and drive positive change by aligning ourselves with pressing social causes. Each year, we choose a theme that reflects our commitment to supporting various social issues. Our previous themes have focused on honoring our soldiers, promoting peace and harmony, environmental conservation, spreading education, supporting the elderly, addressing homelessness, and combating rape and gender discrimination. These themes have resonated deeply with our participants, and we have witnessed overwhelming support from individuals who stand united in advocating for these causes. This unified support has translated into tangible actions that contribute to long-term societal impact. At Runveer, we have designed multiple categories to cater to diverse needs and preferences, ensuring that there’s something for everyone. Participants can look forward to a day filled with exhilarating activities, delicious food, and an opportunity to prioritize their fitness. Some of the major highlights of Runveer include energizing Zumba sessions, live performances by a talented jazz band, captivating weapon displays, and enthralling bagpipers show.

Atharv Ranbhoomi also extends its welcome to young champions from across the country through The Pi-Quiz (TPQ), a national-level talent hunt. TPQ aims to discover the brightest minds in the nation and unearth their creative and ingenious ideas. By demonstrating critical thinking and analytical skills, students in classes IX-XII are introduced to the intellectual rigor endorsed by IIM Indore.

Atharv Ranbhoomi is also a cultural fest that embraces and promotes creative talent and awe-inspiring skills. With ten cultural events, including solo and group dance competitions like Bailar and Verve, the acoustic event Crescendo, the filmmaking event Vignette, the photography event iSO, and Synquizition- a Cultural, and Management Quiz, participants

will have ample opportunities to showcase their talents. Additionally, Delirium offers an exhilarating stage for musicians and their bands, while Halla Bol showcases the art of street plays. As the festival organisers believe, “Art is a way of recognizing oneself,” and Atharv Ranbhoomi stands ready to provide the stage, microphone, ramp, and platform for artists to express their talents.

Furthermore, this year’s Atharv Ranbhoomi boasts four flagship events. InterVarsity Debate, employing the British Parliamentary Debate format, challenges participants’ intellect and rhetorical skills as they engage in an intellectual war to defend their stances.
