LST is an annual entrepreneurship event which aims to inspire the younger generation towards entrepreneurship, informs SPJIMR. At this one day event the SPJIMR student teams representing the entrepreneur and investment banker present selected real life entrepreneurial businesses to the audience. These businesses are open for evaluation and trading by the audience who acting as investors mock 'invest' in shares of their choice. The stocks are allotted through bidding and the ultimate stock prices are determined by the market forces. At the end of the day the winning 'investors' are those with highest value portfolios and the winning 'company' is that which has the highest market capitalization. The game provides opportunity for many a player to bid, trade and build their portfolio, and experience, says SPJIMR.
On the occasion, SPJIMR is hosting a panel discussion as well as jury panel. Captain G. R. Gopinath, the Managing Director of Air Deccan will be the keynote speaker. Captain Gopinath is a graduate of the National Defence Academy and has served the Indian Army. He is considered the father of low cost air travel in India. He created a whole new market when he launched India's first low cost airline Air Deccan. Launched on 25th August 2003, Air Deccan revolutionized air travel in India.
