FRESHER’S DAY: ‘IBMR EXPRESS’ LAUNCHED IBMR has always come up with ‘out-of- the-box’ ideas for their Fresher’s Day parties hosted by the seniors for their juniors. This year the juniors felt transported to the platform of bustling railway station, complete with railway tracks, refreshments stalls, hawkers, signal posts, ticket counters and to top it all the bilingual announcements in the perfect ‘Indian railway style’! Inspired from the movie ‘Chennai Express’, the party really made the icebreaking hugely entertaining. Kudos to the seniors for the event planning and management.

‘DISHA’ – A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION INDUSTRY EXPOSURES The postgraduate students of IBMR were welcomed with an orientation session which briefed them about the institute and also gave them a taste of the corporate world. The students found the stress management sessions extremely useful.

Following the orientation, the students were taken on a tour of Bangalore city.

IBMR students visited The Printers Mysore Pvt. Ltd. & also Unique Steels – two very different sectors to get exposure into the real life business environment. Both the visits added new experiences for the students as these were not the usual industries generally visited by business management students.

VISIT TO RADIO STATION To get a taste of the entertainment media industry, IBMR students visited the Radio Indigo 91.9 FM, the first and only international music station.

They were welcomes by the program director Kiran Sridhar who introduced them to the various departments and functions of an FM station.

Students had an interactive session on the scope of managerial jobs and career opportunities in the radio industry.

CSR IBMR students visited the Centre for Social Action, an NGO in LR Nagar slum area in Bangalore, which is engaged in providing education and sustenance for the underprivileged children through their day care centres, talent programmes and welfare funds.

‘PRADERA’ – THE FEST Students of IBMR were an excited lot as they took part in Pradera, a one-day intra-college fest. As the name suggests, Pradera stands for the freshness of the meadows and was apt for the youthful energy that the students gave to a first-time fest that they were organizing.

The fest divided into ‘Savana’ (Human Resources Events); ‘Steppes’ (Marketing Events); ‘Cerrados’ (Finance Events); ‘Llanos’ (Cultural Events) and ‘Pampus’ (Mad Ads) brought the post-graduate students together for a day marked by learning and fun.

The first half of the day saw the students battling with their wit, wisdom and management ideas in competitions organized by the marketing, finance and HR clubs, from virtual trading to brand debates.

The evening was marked by a colourful cultural show with students grooving to popular bollywood numbers, songs in English and regional languages, humorous skits and madads.
