Backwaters has a plethora of interesting events lined up for all the business school students in the country. MBAUniverse.com is the official media partner of this initiative.
IIMK Backwaters and TiE will hold White Knight, the flagship event of the fest. It is a socially relevant Business Plan Competition based on the theme of agriculture. It provides a platform for existing and budding entrepreneurs to connect, network, collaborate and bring about a positive change in society.
Lock, STOCK & Barrel, an online stock trading game organized in coordination with www.khelostocks.com, will run for 2 weeks and has seen participation from more than 800 students.
Other events like PWC – Consulenti and Cognizant – C-Strat are all set to create buzz amongst the students. Besides these, Beat the Market, an online business simulation game developed and organized in partnership with Gold Simulations which attracted more than 800 participants last year, promises to be a nail-biting challenge wherein the participants will be making real-time decisions across all business domains.
Labyrinth, the online treasure hunt, that saw participation from more than 70,000 people across the world last year is going to get tougher and even more exciting with participation expected to surpass the 1,00,000 mark, informs IIMK.
The Cultural Events will have under-graduate students showcasing their talent in the fields of dance, singing, theatre, instrumental, etc. The fest will conclude with Pro-Show, a performance by a well known rock/pop band thus ending the festival with style and grandeur.
Says IIMK, "With the huge scale of events, participation and prize money at a time when the economy is going through a recession, BACKWATERS 2009 is all set to dispel the myths."
