Keep Rocking!

It's Rock On season! While Rock On (movie) fever is still on, our 'band of boys and gals' has also been rocking throughout the semester III of MPE.

Yesterday was last day of semester. The most exciting and learning experience in business school is working on projects and making group presentations. We presented on many interesting topics this semester:

(Subject / Presentation)

  • Brand Management: 1. Positioning of Sprite 2. Hyundai i10 Product Launch in India
  • Business Sustainability: Sustainable Asset Management (SAM)
  • Corporate Finance: 10 Ways to Create Shareholder Value
  • Macro Economics and Global Economy: Hyperinflation Crisis in Zimbabwe
  • Operations Management: Application of Lean and Agile Principles in Software Development
  • Strategic Marketing Management: Marketing Models of Consumer Behavior


We ended the semester on a high with an interactive presentation of Hyundai i10 Product Launch in India. Nitin came up with this idea of doing a role-play of business news channel covering Hyundai i10 Launch event. The entire team worked on preparing slides, thinking through the screen-play, assigning roles and setting up IBC News - Indian Broadcasting Corporation. In studio, we had Lakshmi as News Reader and Rajesh as Auto Industry Expert (Analyst); at the launch site, we had Nitin as IBC reporter, Anand as Marketing head of Hyundai Motors and Prachi as independent car reviewer. Anshu did a great job of shooting the entire event on Video Camera. It was real fun!

If topics were interesting and presentations were fun, the feedback from professors was immensely encouraging [except for one subject where expectations got to be modest:-)]. Some of them are quoted here...

  • Positioning of Sprite: "Superb presentation... the best presentation of class...!"
  • Hyundai i10 Product Launch in India: "The delivery was superb... everyone contributed... I'll give them full marks...!"
  • Sustainable Asset Management: "Excellent presentation... The topic was very well brought out...!"
  • 10 Ways to Create Shareholder Value: "Very good presentation...!"
  • Hyperinflation Crisis in Zimbabwe: "Excellent presentation...!"
  • Application of Lean and Agile Principles in Software Development: "It was enlightening presentation... very new concept... excellent presentation... it was learning experience for me as well... the time spent on listening to this presentation was worth it... very well done!"

    It gives us sense of satisfaction! What has been even more satisfying is the kind of support, motivation and appreciation that we have received from our class-mates.

    An SMS read, "Rajesh, I know im repeating but you guys totally rocked today.. Im sure u guys wud have put in a lot of efforts... Trust me it was all worth it."

    Thank you very much! Your appreciation means a lot to us!

    I must thank my entire team for running that extra mile every time to give our best! Lets keep rocking!!!
