The IILM institute for business and management ,GURUGRAM organised a college fest MOSAIC’17 on 14th and 15th of February 2017 . It is a two day fest with a perfect amalgamation of sports, business and cultural events where students work hard to make it a success.
Out of so many events IILM has organised its flagship event ‘DALAL STREET’- it is a share market where buying and selling of shares take place. Earlier there was nothing digital so as a vegetable market there is a share market where in a big hall the transactions between the parties take place. The demand and supply decides the prices of the shares like a vegetable market people are shouting the prices of the companies share and the interested buyer purchases the shares. Sometimes people negotiates with the seller. A similar environment was created in the college event also teams brokers were running for their teams helping or guiding them in deciding the shares to purchase or sell. The dalal street atmosphere was similar, everyone was shouting the company’s shares they want to sell or buy. Teams were negotiating on the prices and fighting to earn the maximum profit out of it. There were 3 rounds were teams can buys or sell shares either from exchange or from other teams . In each round the news s flashed and teams have to take decision accordingly on the purchase or sale of the shares. After round 3 teams cannot purchase the shares and the 4th round news is flashed followed by it final price of the shares is also flashed. The team holding maximum net worth wins i.e the one having maximum amount of cash in hand and the maximum value of shares in hand. The event dalal street shows us even after so many technology advancement in the share market the real fun is in the open share market where you can negotiate in person to purchase or sale of the shares.
It was a great opportunity for us to be a part of the dalal street team and also learned a lot about how the news effects the share prices of the company, how to minimise your risk with diversification it was like a live project with lot of fun and learning at the same time. Before entering the corporate life getting a chance to work in a practical way which taught us how to work in a team, how to guide the other team members, how to deal with the team mates not working and feeling happy at the end when the team work gives the positive results.
At the end we would like to thank VISHAL GOEL SIR for keeping faith in us and giving us the opportunity to work with him also supporting and helping whenever required and also the whole team of dalal street for the hard work.

Indian Management Education: Towards Next Horizon
“Collaborating Strategy between Industry and Academia”
CINQUE has conducted one of its kind Industry-Academia conference, “Indian Management Education: Towards Next Horizon (Collaborating Strategy between Industry and Academia)”at The Indian International Centre. With a clear focus on ensuring that Academia and Industry work together like partners rather as than adversaries, the Conference is committed to come up with an implementable agenda and ensure periodic reviews with all stake-holders to ensure the continuity of the exercise.
A closer look at the management schools throws an interesting pattern where B-Schools are more concerned about the number of students graduating rather than their quantity. Corporates also spend significant time, energy and resources to make this talent pool worth contributing. So, the need of the hour is to devise strategies to overcome this shortcoming.
The Key speakers of the conference included:
The four broad themes which the Conference endeavours to address in the field of Industry-Academia collaboration are:
IILM Gurgaon is Proud to be associated with this conference as a co-sponsor and distributed goodies bag to all delegates.
IILM GURGAON has always believed in prosperity through participation. PG1 Students at our gurgaon campus organised the Saraswati Puja (Basant Panchami) on the onset of beginning OF Spring from 1st feb 2017.

It was graced with the presence of Senior Director of IILM, Director, Dean accompanied by faculty members and non teaching staffs. students with utter joy joined the harmonic ceremony.
Celebrating Saraswati Puja is a ritual attempt to preserve Indian culture and to impart a sense of respect towards long established traditions, which IILM always keep at helm of priority. Worship of goddess began with the lighting of lamp by respected designated faculties and students. Puja of Saraswati pratima in saraswati mandir of IILM was conducted in sync with chanting of saraswati vandana and holy chorus.

Carpe Diem’ 2017 (IIM Calcutta)
IIM Calcutta recently concluded with its annual cultural fest “Carpe Diem”. It was a three day event starting from 27th of January to 29th of January 2017. 4 students from IILM got a chance to participate in the various events of fest.
In February 2016 Makeintern.com organized a two day workshop on ‘Digital Marketing’ on 18th and 19th in our college in Gurgaon. Around 30 students participated in this workshop mentored by “Mr. Ujjawal Chugh”. At the end of the workshop there was quiz conducted out of which 4 students were selected to participate in B-Plan competition to be held in the fest.
The team was-
We 4 prepared a B-Plan on bespoke tailoring solution named as “Dressoup”. This was to be presented in the competition.
Day 1
We landed in the noon in Kolkata and reached college wherein they gave us accomodations. Carpe Diem 2017 was inaugurated by famous children author Ruskin Bond. He addressed the audience and narrated about his various life experiences. We had a chance to interact with him and asked questions related to his books and stories. His speech was followed by a band performance ‘Laghori-Coke Studio’.
Day 2
Our day started with breakfast in the student mess, eating which we missed our IILM breakfast very much. Then was the first round of B-Plan Competition in which a team quiz was conducted. It was written quiz which consisted of questions 125 on Rio Olympics, Constitution of India and general marketing concepts. Around 40 teams from various colleges in India participated in that quiz. After that we moved out and looked for other events. We were also given lunch coupons and again during lunch we realized IILM still stands far ahead in terms of food and hospitality. In the gaming corner a block game known as ‘Zenga’ was being played. Then there was picture puzzle, face painting doodle art etc. we participated in a few of them. The day ended with a performance by “Nucleya” a renowned DJ.
Day 3
Results were announced for the quiz and much to our delight we qualified for the second round. Now came the time for presenting our business idea. Each team was given 10 min to put forward their presentation and after that there was a small round of Q&A from the judges. We presented our B-plan but exceeded the time limit by 2 minutes. However, judges were still convinced in the Q&A session. After that we saw many events like fashion show, dance competition etc. at 4 o clock results were announced and unfortunately we could not make it to top 3. Still, we would say it was an amazing experience for all 4 of us as we got a chance to be here in such a premier B-School and talk to people out there.
In the evening we left the campus and decided to take a small city tour. We visited Howrah Bridge, Birla Mandir and then Park Street, which is famous for its night life. Street food in Kolkata is very delicious and a must try.
Next morning we went to New Market and spent whole day wandering around as our flight was delayed by 3 hours. To sum it up, it was a very hands-on experience for those who always wondered what life in the most sought after B-School would be.

A woman is a being with senses, imagination and thoughts; she should be able to express them freely. Individual empowerment means to have the self-confidence to articulate and assert the power to negotiate and decide.
The quotation has been rightly said by Swami Vivekananda Ji -“There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved, It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. ”- which means that until and unless our society improves the surviving conditions of women in our society, the world cannot progress further.
Yuva Goonj, the NGO club of IILM Gurgaon is progressing towards their mission of Women development and Women empowerment. Keeping to this, the members of the club organized a session on “Women Empowerment” along with Navjyoti India Foundation, Gurugram in the rural areas of Haryana. During the session, Dr. Pinky Goswami threw some light on the importance of women empowerment in the society.
The session was followed up by one-to-one meeting where each women discussed their various issues and challenges with Dr. P.Goswami and found ways to overcome them and increase their self esteem and thereby raise their level of confidence. The beneficiaries left with good satisfaction and renewed confidence to live an empowered life.
It was a shocking moment for whole world when our Prime Minister Mr. Narender Modi Ji declared demonetization of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes. The decision was taken to curb the black money from the Indian market and control the terrorist activities taking place on a large scale.
Girl Up Club, that aims to uplift the women and provide them an environment to live with dignity in the society, has recently conducted a session on demonetization and cashless transaction of money in the premises of Navjyoti India Foundation, Gurgaon. The session was conducted with a motive of educating the women and making them realize how easy it is to move to the cashless mode of transactions. It is very important to educate them because they are the first member of a family and if they are convinced, it is considered the whole family is convinced and thereby uplifting the society.
They were also told about the use of debit and credit cards which will simplify their lives to a great extent. They were made to install the app of paytm and a demo was provided to them about its use. Some of them were already using the app. Dr. Kiran Bedi- Lieutenant Governor of Pondicherry and social activist of our country and founder of Nav Jyoti appreciated the efforts put in by the club members towards up-liftmen of women and society at large.
Alumni of batch 2005 – 07 visited IILM Gurgaon campus on 24th December 2016 to celebrate Christmas Eve with the faculty members and students. The alumni came back to their alma mater after a decade.
It was an emotional evening as they went back memory lane and shared their journey of success with the current students. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you who could come for the reunion from various parts of India.
The evening started with a welcome speech by Dr. Sujata Shahi, Senior Director IILM. She spoke about how the Institute has evolved in the past one decade talking about the change in the teaching pedagogy. Prof. Ruchi Shah spoke about companies that come to campus now along with the packages and profiles these companies are offering. She also discussed the experiential courses offered by IILM for the students.
The IILM band performed for the alumni and made them dance and sing in the cafeteria. It was a great platform for networking as we had alumni working in top companies at high positions such as HDFC, Citibank, Hyatt Regency, Hurix Systems, Capital IQ, Capgemini, Colliers International to name a few. The PGDM students had a great time interacting with them and hearing their success stories.
