All the world's a stage,

This November, we bring you the fuel for your creative minds, and a chance to create the universe in the palm of your hand..We challenge you to create art which is larger than life , and explore your theatrical talents with DARPAN 09.

Gladiator - Welcome to the Arena

2009-10-10T04:16:00.000-07:00

Overwhelmed by sensations, you feel the skin on your palms tingle as though a faint electric current has passed through it. Silence conquers you... So many pressing tasks that must be completed before you can rest again.... Come drown yourself in this exhilarating experience and take your first steps in the hallowed path to becoming a management guru... Find out if you have it in you to be “THE GLADIATOR”.

This game poses the biggest challenges to the toughest brains in the country with the aim to find “THE ONE”. It not only pays attention to the individual facets of management but also to the cross functional aspects. It provides the students with simulated real world experiences putting the participants’ endurance abilities, stress management and mental fortitude to test. As we revamp the whole game year after year, surpassing our own standards and setting new benchmarks, judging the participants with more complex modules, our conviction remains unscathed,

“THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL”

Kurukshetra - the conch is blown

2009-10-10T04:12:00.000-07:00

Kurukshetra is one of the flagship events of Xpressions and can proudly boast about its rich legacy of past 15 yrs. It is a corporate battle game, which tests the mettle of the best teams' representative of the top-notch B schools and the Corporates for what it takes to be a strategic Business Champion. Kurukshetra provides a platform to implement cross-functional strategic decisions by simulating a real world business scenario. It challenges the players to compete with the best, and prove their excellence before they walk away beaming in the glory of victory.

The game is played in following three phases:

Shankhnaad: Kurukshetra 09 proudly introduces Shankhnaad, the preliminary round of Kurukshetra. This online module would enable the preeminent minds of the country to compete with one another before they sweat it out in the final module at XIMB campus. The competition is open for both corporate and students of management institutions. The top ten teams qualify for the next round Kurukshetra.

Kurukshetra: It is that arena where the skills of the better are tested against the best. The teams are put through a simulated replica of the real life business scenario. Each team would have the opportunity to be a business unit, competing against one another for the same product category. The glory would be bestowed upon the one team that could emulate the success of real company by exuding an apt combination of operational, financial, marketing and human resource strategies.

Chakravyuh: The teams would now have to work their way out through the maze of a real world, bundled with its constraints and complexities. This Chakravyuh is solely won by teams who can assimilate all their knowledge and implement it to conquer the byzantine situations posed before them and take decisions in The Real World.

Keeping with the trend of preceding years, Kurukshetra '08 also was a huge success, with enormous students’ participation from elite B-schools in India and abroad and prizes worth Rs. 1 lakhs.

Skill City

2009-10-10T04:07:00.000-07:00

'The toughest test of your softest skills'.The statement says it all. In a world where "I" has been replaced by "We", we step into the corporate world of tomorrow knowing that soft skills and team work have become as important as every other cognitive skill of the future manager.

Skill City brings together the hardest test across any event of its kind. An arena where only the resilient and the most competent will be victorious. Where strong foundations of character will stem from well-laid plans and fine execution, colored with the zing of innovation. Where you will require all your finely honed grit, mettle and composure to tread the fine balance, between being an individual and being a team. Come, if you think that you can wade through the moats, scale the wall, fly your triumphant banner and build a new era this year. Come if you feel that you posses the skill, to make it through and be the last team standing in the arena of the most skilled warriors.

Helios, the Sun is rising..

Every year undergraduates from across the country wait with bated breaths for Xpressions to be a part of HELIOS which is undeniably the only game in a Management Fest in India that is exclusively dedicated towards the undergraduate students all over India.

This is the only B-school event where the participation is exclusively for undergraduate participants. The purpose is a ‘rite of initiation’ of sorts. What better than a game that borrows from the ancient God of the Sun?

It gives them a sneak peek into the B-School life of rigor and vitality with a strong dose of fun and entertainment. Helios not only tests undergraduates on a variety of parameters viz. General Knowledge, Mental Aptitude & Soft Skills, but also develops their Business Acumen on Finance, Marketing and Operations through various modules of the game.

Helios brings together bright and curious minds from diverse disciplines and tests raw management potential –and tests whether they can innovate, compete and perform in teams

HELIOS ‘08

HELIOS ‘08 began with a bang on the first day of Xpressions ‘08. Helios was a two day affair with teams from reputed undergraduate colleges across India. After two days of fun and competition Helios ‘08 concluded with Team from NIT, Rourkela edging out Teams from KIIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Madras to win the Finals.
