DIRECTORS MESSAGE Dr. Rishikesha T. Krishnan Director Indian Institute of Management Indore IIM Indores Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) is a special programme. IPM provides the only opportunity in the country for our most talented school-leaving students to directly enter the portals of one of our leading management institutes. IPM itself is a unique blend of multi-disciplinary learning with a strong foundation in the social sciences followed up by a contemporary, high quality management education. IPM goes well beyond traditional academic education to include music, dance, theatre, fine arts, yoga and physical education. IPM needs to reach out beyond the boundaries of IIM Indore, and I am delighted to know that our IPM students are launching Atharv this year. This will allow their contemporaries from across the country to visit our campus and soak in the IPM atmosphere. I am confident that Atharv will attract some of the best talent from across the country. Atharv will provide sponsors a unique opportunity to reach out to the leaders of tomorrow. I invite you to be a part of Atharv 2014. The five year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) is a novel enterprise of IIM Indore. In a country where IIMs are known for postgraduate management studies, IIM Indore has taken a step forward towards giving the country, not only good managers but leaders leaders who have been nurtured from a very tender age to bring about a change in the world. IPM is the epitome of holistic education where the mind is not only honed to think, analyse, observe, critique, endeavour but also moulded to lead. IPM brings to IIM Indore, the young enthusiasts of the nation, who are just out of school and are ready to be developed into the trailblazers of tomorrow. Atharv, as a word, has come to mean knowledge. However, knowledge is not static, it is dynamic and it flows. It has a life and only when people come together and share this knowledge does its true meaning ever get realized. The IPM students of IIM Indore bring to you Atharv the first undergraduate Management and Cultural Fest to be conducted at an IIM. The fest aims to create a unique platform to promote Industry- UG interaction. The undergraduate students will get a chance to understand and affiliate themselves with the industry and the industry will be able to tap the potential of the brightest young minds of the country and establish relations which shall prove to be mutually beneficial to both the parties. Atharv gives an opportunity, to the undergrads from all across the country, to express and hone their business acumen and also to explore their holistic development with a plethora of activities that form the basis of the 3-day fest designed to ignite the spark in students to initiate actions and finally inspire the whole world. Atharv hopes to become the beacon of all-encompassing knowledge and in future IPM aims to make it the biggest college fest in India. 3 DAYS 2 PROSHOWS 1 CULTURAL NIGHT 40+ EVENTS 200+ COLLEGES 5000+ FOOTFALL No event can ever be possible without some words of wisdom coming from the experienced. Hence, Atharv brings to you a series of speeches from the most renowned names in the country. This would include an inaugural speech on the first day, followed by two special speeches on the next two days of the fest. The speakers insights on life and its ways and their success stories would help the young listeners to think beyond the obvious and to understand that if one has the will power to act, then sky is the limit. We thoroughly believe that the success of any student in any sphere depends not just on the number of books that one has read or the formulas that one remembers but on practical exposure that mixes with such knowledge to form wisdom. Keeping this in mind, a Panel Discussion has been planned where five eminent persons from the corporate world shall be discussing their views on a given topic, and would also be shedding light on their personal experiences. One of the basic postulates of IPM is to create societal leaders who are sensitized to the growing needs of having a society where equality and justice prevails. We are being tutored in a manner that imbibes in us, a sense of responsibility and belonging for the society that we live in. The same is reflected through the idea of associating a social cause with the Fest. The target cause is a sensitive one but it demands a lot of attention especially in a country like India. Health problems faced by women shall be the focal point of the cause with a special emphasis on Menstrual Hygiene Management and removing the stigma associated with Menstruation. The cause aims at empowering women by taking up an issue which is very fundamental and deep-rooted. Business enterprises are made or broken on the strength of innovative ideas that propel them. To participate in the B-plan, aspiring entrepreneurs from all over the country shall submit a written report on a basic business idea and justify its viability and feasibility. Participants of selected entries shall be invited to the campus to present their ideas in front of a panel of two eminent judges. The most innovative and feasible idea shall be awarded. AVANT-GARDE To gauge the level of knowledge of various domains of the corporate world, the distinguished Quiz master will pose questions at the participants in this business quiz competition. Eight teams will compete with each other over a span of two days with four unique rounds that will drive the participants to think beyond the obvious. PRAGNYA Youre familiar. Management students are often taught game theory, and the same can be said for those studying economics or mathematics.
