For information abt
1. Samriddhi
Abstract:-
With over 1.1 billion people, diverse regions, and a vibrant democracy, India has been making progress on a scale, size and pace that is unprecedented in its own history. It grew at an average rate of 6% during the 1980s when the wave of liberalization was yet to impact Indias social and economic institutions. In 1991, came the first generation of economic reforms, which put India on the path of sustainable growth of 8% during the same decade. After 16 years since these first generation reforms were initiated, India finds itself on the path of joining the ranks among the developed nations of the world. However, there are still challenges which will need to be dealt with promptly and effectively. Finance could prove to be the cornerstone for resolving these issues.
It is with this objective that the students of Goa Institute of Management plan to organize Samriddhi, a Finance Conference, which aims to explore new ways and opportunities to meet these developmental challenges effectively. It is an effort wherein customers, private and public sectors banks, other financial institutions, government regulatory bodies, large corporate houses and other key decision makers in the financial sphere can assemble under a single roof, isolate problems that plague this sector and, more importantly, identify opportunities and solutions to resolve them.
Samriddhi will focus on adopting a solution based approach to issues like infrastructure financing and the need to make public institutions more receptive to its demands, rural development through the provision of micro credit, the trend towards global integration of financial markets and how it can be leveraged for Indias economic development, current issues in raising corporate funding with special emphasis on retail and the future of retail banking in India. The conference would be packed with content and solutions, with leaders from various spheres of finance providing their insights to take the Indian economy to glorious heights.
2. Castalia07
Abstract:-
Castalia' is India's first conference focused on generating and sharing talent Retention strategies across industries. We and our collaborating partners are committed to providing a venue that stimulates the acquisition, transfer, and enhancement of knowledge, professional growth, development of social capital and improved networks.
We will achieve this by planning, organizing and delivering a high quality, benchmarked and industry relevant conference for HR professionals and their collegues through a high standard program and speakers, providing access to industry specific insights and strategies to retain talent.
Some tough and high learning days are ahead n we PGP1 are really excited

Some tough and high learning days are ahead n we PGP1 are really excited
and another thing to add this is all a student driven initiative and being a part and having a role to play makes me play really special... Here we are at GIM offering(read trying to find) solutions for the two problems which the hold corporate world in general and corporates in India in particular are facing... Just the thought of being a part of the team which is working 24x7 to make this dream a reality gives a sense of a great achievement...
the list of the ppl from PGP1 who hav registered themselves voluntarily for these two events is almost 75% of the total batch strength,...
GIM rocksz

Hi there,
Gotta appreciate the movie that we saw yesterday. Good to see that we have some serious film buffs here who are willing to watch some meaningful cinema. Hope the quality of the films shown remains the same.:satisfie:

N no compromise is expected from nebody who is a part of GIM on QUALTIY... n tat makes its stand at par with those B-schools which hav been established for almost two n a half decades...
Cheers!!!
GIM rocks!!!



Hi to all,
I am back with insight of GIM...................Right now what we are learning here is "How to prioritize the things".We have been given so many task to do (academics as well as extra curricular)so that we only think of which one should be given preference and on what basis........(a million doller question......:)...difficult to get the answer. ).
You wake up in the morning and suddenly you relise that there are ample things waiting for you..(to reach in class/assignments/extra curricular/etc)....it gives you enough energy to get up from bed as soon as possible....
I think this is the first lesson from where Management study starts.............let see how we can prioritize the given task.......(atleast we will be able to sense it in our daily routine....)
I am realy enjoying the situation and hope my friends have same feeling as I am.....(What say dude...:) )
GIM rockssssssssssss na

Samriddhi,Castalia, Assignments, Classes, Case studies, Group meets n the list goes on.. Each one of us is engaged in so many things to do in just 24 hours. ya 24 seems to be very small..Every nite at 2 v think still atleast 2 hours to go to sleep ..and then just 4 hours to sleep before v get ready for classes..But its not hectic..its n enjoyable journey..So much to learn and experience in so little time..
Last week was full og GBMs and Placements.. N everyother day v celebrated a birthday. Its like members of a family have come together after a long time.. Nothing and noone is unfamiliar now..Started knowing the seniors as well...Its amazing to be at GIM
Thats y they say GIM rockssss.!!!

N the best part everything must hv the 'QUALITY'. Anything even a tinch below the mark is rejected..All profs have started moulding us into the same QUALITY.. thats an awesome thought to experience as well as follow.

Hi ,
Its been quite a while since I last posted on this thread ... was sitting back and reading what the PGP1 had to say ... they are getting a hold of things ... juggling assignements and masti...
Its good to see so many wonderful people around , It always is better to meet people who come with a rich experience having worked with good companies and finding them to be carrying absolutely no ego . I personally admire such people ..
GIM is sure to go places , and this batch certainly is taking much more interest in conferences than we guys did when we were PGP1
The batch would be getting their laptops very soon .... and the lappies that they are going to get is going to be a killer of a machine...
Hope to see more about GIM being written out here ...
